Ivara Overview and Best Weapon Options

Ivara has many ways to control large crowds of enemies and hide out of plain sight with invisibility abilities. Her exalted weapon is a great resource but she shines better as a supporter character, taking cover and eliminating enemies from the shadows, as well as providing that same cover to others.

Abilities
Passive

Ivara has an innate radar that detects enemies within 20 meters and displays their position on the minimap. This effect stacks with Animal Instinct, Enemy Radar, Enemy Sense, Stealth Drift, and Vigilante Pursuit.

Quiver
Cycle through and shoot one of four tactical arrows. Cloak creates a stationary bubble that cloaks Ivara and her allies. Dashwire creates a traversable zipline. Noise emits a high-pitched sound that attracts enemies to it. Sleep temporarily puts nearby enemies into a deep slumber.

Strength: 50 / 80 / 120 / 160 Damage
Misc: 3 / 4 / 6 / 7 Arrows

Recommended Weapons
Since Ivara will spend a lot of time invisible, you want to use the Redeemer on the Melee side to take advantage of the massive boost on the finisher attacks. On the Primary and secondary sides, Acceltra and Akstilletto will play their roles masterfully, and of course, if you can afford the Prime or Vandal versions, the better. Use as many Forma on them as you see fit to achieve the desired build, and you'll be good to go!

The idea of the build is to maximize Range and Efficiency so we can take advantage of larger areas of crowd control by using the Sleep/Noise arrows on Quiver, taking cover using the Cloak arrow, or loot in a larger area using Prowl. Rolling Guard will provide invulnerability frames in tight situations, and Growing Power as the Aura mod will help to compensate for the lack of Power Strength. For dramatically better results, replace the mods in the setup with their Prime or Umbral versions.
