Ivy is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a gargoyle-turned-vigilante with potent supportive and disruptive abilities to assist her allies in combat. After linking up with an ally to share healing and buffs, she can summon patches of snarling vines from her Kudzu bomb and transform into a stony gargoyle to damage and stun the enemy while healing herself. With her abilities of flight, she can pick up any ally or bomb and fly them to any point on the battlefield, choosing to either explosively Air Drop them into the middle of the enemy battle group, or rescue an ally from danger.

Ivy's former life as an inanimate gargoyle ended abruptly when she was summoned to life to protect a girl and her family from The Mendoza Syndicate. Vowing to protect her new family, The Arroyo's, Ivy began a vigilante mission to dismantle the Syndicate. After 18 years of work, she succeeded at defeating the organization, and now searches outside Spanish Harlem to find a new goal to dedicate her life to.

Notes

All health gained from any source is replicated, after applying modifiers
The only exception to this is the healing provided by Watcher's Covenant itself, which is never replicated. This includes its bullet lifesteal effect
If a hero is at max health, any health they would receive is still replicated
Shared health is treated as having no source player, meaning it is not increased by Healing Booster or other healing buffs

Turn yourself into impervious stone and smash into the ground, stunning and damaging enemies nearby. Heals you for a percentage of your max health.

Background

“

The gargoyle didn’t know what was happening when it sprang to life... just that a big human and a small human were being hurt. And so the gargoyle leapt to action, sending the attackers fleeing in horror. The small human said thank you and asked the gargoyle’s name. The gargoyle didn’t have one. And so the small human said, "I’m going to call you Ivy." The gargoyle, being covered in ivy at the time, thought it was a bit obvious, but decided to go along with it for the small human’s sake.
The humans asked if Ivy would come home with them so they could show their appreciation, and so Ivy walked with them. That night she learned much. The family were called The Arroyo's. The little one, Sophia. Mofongo is what they called a plate of deliciousness. But most importantly, she learned that the people attacking them were called "The Mendoza Syndicate", and they were hurting people…nice people like The Arroyo's.
18 years have passed since the day the Arroyo's took Ivy home... and during that she made it her mission to dismantle the Mendoza Syndicate and free Spanish Harlem from its grasp. However the thing about dedicating your life to a single pursuit for nearly 2 decades is that you don’t really know what to do once you achieve it. For the first time in her life, Ivy is prepared to venture outside of Spanish Harlem and see what the world has to offer beyond vigilante justice.
