Laning

Extended Magazine
Good because it helps alleviate Ivy's poor magazine size problem. Gives more long term damage output for wave at the start, which means its a good alternative/supplement to Monster Rounds.
Titanic Magazine
Greatly increases your magazine, allowing effortless waveclear, and lets you trade (Not often) sometimes with the enemy in lane with your raw gun. This will make your Tesla Bullets buy WAY better.
Tesla Bullets
Gun Ivy's BEST early/mid game item. Procs easily with ivy's high ROF, grants amazing jungle/camp clear, and allows easy proccage of debuffs. It is INSANE.
Capacitor
This item is better the earlier you buy it, B/C Capacitor requires FAR LESS ROF to consistently proc than Tesla Bullets. Its active is a great substitute for ivy losing knockup on ultimate.
Rapid Rounds
Slight damage increase. Powerspike more noticable when you buy swift striker.

Extra Health
INSANE item to buy if you want to postpone your 4.8k HP investment spike, to buy more items for farming and powerspikes, without being super squishy and burstable.
Healing Rite
This item has INSANE value, even outside of lane. You will NEVER regret or feel bad buying this item, as it keeps you topped up for HP after camps, and gives sprint speed!
Sprint Boots
800 souls

Headshot Booster
Best § 800 item in lane for winning lane and applying pressure. If buying, I reccomend going Extnd. Mag -> Headshot Booster -> Tesla for you 4.8k Gun Spike build order.

Swift Striker
Best § 1600 item for raw unconditional firerate, while giving bonus sprint speed that very useful in the early game. Helps immensely with giving the exact fire rate you need for capacitor w T3 Tether.
Active Reload
Given that your character has a short reload time (Ivy does), this item is great, as you will be allowed to easily proc it to gain very high value stats, such as lots of firerate, movespeed, lifesteal
Bullet Resist Shredder
Easy to apply with Tesla/Capacitor, and provides a great Bullet Resist Shred debuff while giving spirit investment, and good base stats.

Dispel Magic
Insane counter to Infernus/Mirage on-hit buildups, and generally great for any enemy that is causing a debuff that is causing you to lose or die constantly. (Also good if spirit burned nonstop late.)
Bullet Resilience
Now offers 35-50% effective bullet resistance. Compared to escalating resil with its poor stats (30%), this gives far more, and keeps you alive at low hp (which you have lots of sustain to heal from).
Metal Skin
Insanely Overpowered, but situational. Hard counters Haze/Vyper/Gun Warden, Gun Drifter, and ANY character that has ~X > 75% damage done by pure weapon damage bullets.

Burst Fire
Great item for mid-game firerate saturation. You want to hit a target of around +100-120% firerate by the time you are full build. Slide distance and movespeed this item gives is very good.
Slowing Bullets
Though it doesnt give raw stats, the latest slow change where regular slows also effect air dashing can certainly make this item more desirable. Reccomended if up a walker flex slot.

Siphon Bullets
When bought at around 20-25k souls, this item will actually feel effective due to characters starting to be at the 2500-3000HP range. Optimally, you want enemies to be at 3k+HP for this item to SHINE.
Headhunter
Can be bought earlier to make use of raw trade damage it provides. Real value comes from large % heal that is impactful late game when you are 4000-5000HP.

Healing Tempo
Often has more value if you buy this when behind to support other m1s, though you can still retain a fair amount of value from this item due to its abundance of passive stats.
Colossus
Combined with Siphon bullets, and utilizing Ivy's above average health scaling, it gives great health value, and the dash slow on this item is INSANE. Great also if you have x < 15% of both resists.
Juggernaut
Better with the diminishing movespeed buffs, and direct juggernaut movespeed buffs. Still, this item is optimal if you are using it to counter other m1s.

Inhibitor
VERY good debuff that counts as antiheal and a massive damage reduction. Easy to buildup with your current firerate, and when bought, gives ~350 HP and +10% wpn damage in raw stats (Very Good)
Silencer
While inhibitor is great, this item INSTANTLY applies the damage debuff without needing a buildup. Great for spirit meta. Built-In Silence is also great for countering. Do note this gives no HP.
Crippling Headshot
Deletes victor, and heavily cripples any character that has high resists with high healing/sustain. Long debuff duration and easy proc makes it SUPER useful for your team needing damage.

Toxic Bullets
You will have enough firerate to reproc it even when its debuff removed (At around T3 tether max). This makes it a good antiheal option for mid-late game, and really shines late with high HP pools.
Weighted Shots
Very good upgrade that mainly serves to give you debuff resist that you may otherwise be lacking in the midgame. Damage is great too. Good because other sources of debuff resist are very expensive.

Spellbreaker
Gives all the late game stats you are lacking, and want more of. Provides a layer of protection against spirit nukers, and gives slightly more resistance to what you already have, with debuff resist.
Indomitable
This item is great against pick characters (Mo Krill, Holliday, Paradox, Bepop, etc.) But not reccomended until §40k+ souls. It doesnt get triggered by knockups/airbornes (except mirage FUCK YOU mirag
Plated Armor
VERY SITUATIONAL. Very good counter against Haze and Infernus. If not enough against on-hit characters, combining this with Dispel Magic practically makes their on-hits completely irrelevant.

Suppressor
Good as a early hard-counter to m1 characters during lane, or right after lane. Can be bought right after tesla for maximum value, though delaying capacitor is risky. Earlier fire rate slow is better.
Mystic Slow
With regular slows effecting air dashes as well now, this item can give you a little bit of the best of both worlds, making both movespeed and crazy airdashing harder, get only if you have many slots.
Compress Cooldown
When imbued on ult, and you are carrying people off cooldown, you can be perma rotating around mid-game skirmishes getting major map control and granting you a lead. Good if you have/know u have slots

Hunter's Aura
A very good replacement for Bullet Resist Shredder, when you are heavily slot locked, but have money to spend. Usually only do this at § 35k+ souls when you are missing slots from walkers.
Weakening Headshot
Here for the sake of being an easily accessible component for when you want to buy crippling headshot, and have a slot to spare for it. ONLY BUY IF BUILDING FOR CRIPPLING.

Monster Rounds
800 souls
Golden Goose Egg
If bought, pop for capacitor. Never for tesla.
Debuff Reducer
Only buy if you need to stack significant DBR while being affordable. With Weighted shots and this, you have 40% DBR. Great against characters with ults like Holliday, Mo & Krill, given you have HP.
