'''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 setting up a '''[[Ivy#Kudzu Connection|Kudzu Connection]]''' with an ally to share healing and buffs, she can grow patches of '''[[Ivy#Entangling Thorns|Entangling Thorns]]''' and transform into her '''[[Ivy#Stone Form|Stone Form]]''' to damage and stun the enemy while healing herself. With her abilities of flight, she can pick up any ally or create a bomb and fly them to any point on the battlefield, choosing to either explosively '''[[Ivy#Air Drop|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 Arroyos|The Arroyos]], Ivy began a vigilante mission to dismantle the Syndicate. After 18 years of work, she succeeded at defeating the organization, and now searches outside [[wikipedia:Spanish Harlem|Spanish Harlem]] to find a new goal to dedicate her life to.

Only reduces the duration of the T3 Immobilize.

{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Indomitable | text =

}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Ivy
| ability_num = 2
| notes =
* Kudzu Connection does not require a nearby ally to cast.
* Both Ivy and the tethered ally receive the bonus [[Fire Rate]], [[Bullet Lifesteal]], replicated healing, and the T1 upgrade's [[Move Speed]] buffs.
* If a hero is at max health, any health they would receive is still replicated.
* An active tether can be canceled by the buff-removing effects of {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}} and {{ItemIcon|Nullification Burst}}. If done while Kudzu Connection's T3 upgrade is unlocked, Ivy can immediately recast the ability when she is able to.
* If Ivy has {{ItemIcon|Healing Tempo}}, the item will constantly apply its buffs to both sides of the tether while active.
| interactions =
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = heal | state = partial | text =
* All health gained from any source other than Kudzu Connection, after applying [[Healing Effectiveness]] modifiers, will be replicated. This includes healing from [[Health Regen]].
* The Replicated Healing received is treated as having no source player, meaning it is '''not''' affected by {{ItemIcon|Healing Booster}} or other healing modifiers.
* The bonus Bullet Lifesteal '''is''' affected by healing modifiers.
}}
}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Ivy
| ability_num = 3
| notes =
* Ivy has limited horizontal movement while casting.
* Ivy can reload during Stone Form.
* Stone Form will drag down airborne enemies near the center of its hitbox.
* Stone Form can be cast while Ivy is busy, meaning it can be used during actions that would normally disable other abilities (e.g. while riding the [[Zipline]], during the cast delay of an item, such as {{ItemIcon|Phantom Strike}}, or during a Heavy Melee to [[Heavy Melee/Heavy Melee Cancel|Heavy Melee Cancel]])
| interactions =
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Debuff Reducer | text =
Reduces the landing stun duration.
}}
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Indomitable | text =
Triggers on either Stone Form's drag-down effect or landing stun.
}}
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Unstoppable | text =
Being Unstoppable prevents the player from being dragged down or stunned by Stone Form.
}}

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name = Ivy
| ability_num = 4
| notes =
* The casting lockout after taking damage lasts {{DataProp|Air Drop|InterruptCooldown}}s (in the in-game HUD, this appears rounded up to 4s).
** The lockout can be circumvented by carefully timing {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}}, then casting {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} immediately thereafter.
* Ivy can reload, cast abilities and use items while flying.
* When self cast, Ivy flies solo and drops a bomb instead of a teammate. If a teammate "detaches" from Ivy during the first second of Air Drop, the ability acts as if self cast.
* While flying teammates or the urn:
** Allied channeled abilities (e.g. {{AbilityIcon|Storm Cloud}}) remain active, but deal reduced damage.
** If Ivy or her ally are stunned in flight, Ivy's movement speed is greatly decreased for the remainder of her ult.
** If Ivy or her ally are carrying the urn, Ivy's movement speed is greatly decreased until the urn-bearer is dropped, or for the remainder of her ult if carried by Ivy.
