Wukong should focus on reaching level 6 quickly to leverage his strong engage and teamfight disruption against Ivern's utility playstyle.
Prioritize controlling river vision and tempo to limit Ivern's unusual invade paths and protect your camps from his counter-jungling attempts.
Jungle Plan
Path towards lanes with strong follow-up to maximize the impact of your (R) knockup and clone deception in ganks and river skirmishes.
Use your clone to bait Ivern's key cooldowns before fully committing to fights or invades.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control by using your level 6 power spike to force grouped fights where your disruption excels.
Danger windows
Be cautious during early clears when your health is low and Ivern can capitalize on your vulnerability with his root (Q) and shield slow (E).
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Ivern's team utility and Daisy knockup (R) can overwhelm you.
Respect enemy lane priority that enables Ivern to counter-gank or collapse on you during invades or objective setups.
Early game
Start with a full clear aiming to hit level 6 before committing to river fights where Ivern can use his utility to assist teammates.
Avoid early isolated fights unless your lanes have clear priority to follow up on your engages.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and help secure the river control for objective setups.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks your (R) cyclone engage, significantly increasing your gank threat and objective fight impact; use this to force fights around dragon and Herald.
Mid-game power spike occurs when you have core bruiser items, enabling you to win skirmishes and deny Ivern's utility scaling by pressuring his positioning.
Ivern's utility and shield scaling become more impactful late game, so maximize early and mid-game tempo to avoid falling behind.
Win conditions
Convert your level 6 engage into river control and objective steals by coordinating with lanes that can follow your (R) knockups.
Use your dueling strength and clone to invade and deny Ivern camps, disrupting his scaling and slowing his utility impact.
Leverage teamfight disruption to secure dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Ivern into reactive plays and limiting his ability to protect carries effectively.
