The beauty of this Ivy build is its pure simplicity — just hit enemies with your large Kudzu Bomb and let it do the work. This build scales the same way throughout the game, making it very easy to play.
Early game
The build starts off with a focus on farming and slowly scaling Spirit power.
Mid game
The mid game focuses on scaling Spirit Power and getting Kudzu to be as massive and powerful as possible.
Late game
More of the same from the mid game as flex slots open up. Escalating Exposure is expensive, but worth it if you’re able to get it early.
Uber late game
Start dealing unreal damage to huge areas and fill in extra slots with inexpensive items.
