A Twitch streamer who plays Ivern in League of Legends is using a new item in Season 14 to fight his way up to Challenger.
Ivern may not be one of the most popular champions in League of Legends, but that hasn’t stopped players who love the jungler from continuously developing new strategies to dominate in SoloQ and rank up.
Which build for Ivern is particularly strong? Twitch streamer and Ivern enthusiast Jamican Banana has developed a strategy to quickly climb the ranks in League of Legends: the use of the item Dawncore.
What can Dawncore do? Dawncore, a new support item in the Rift introduced with Season 14, provides 40 ability power, 20 ability haste, and 150% base value for mana regeneration, as well as a unique passive ability called Dawnbreak
. This passive grants 3% healing and shielding power and 5 ability power per 100% of the base value for mana regeneration.

By stacking various mana regeneration items
during a match, Ivern can utilize this unique passive to generate massive shields and healing for his teammates. Therefore, he built alongside Ionian Boots
as core items: Dawncore, Redemption, and Moonstone.
Jamican Banana shared his gaming progress on X when he reached the Challenger rank. He even made it into the top 50 players on the North American server (via leagueofgraphs). He even managed to climb to Rank 5 on the leaderboard of the best Ivern players (via leagueofgraphs).
