Notes on Iggy's Item Build

The enemy team has too much hard crowd control
If the enemy team has too much hard crowd control, build Gilded Greaves instead of Enchanted Kicks . If the opponent has a lot of strong healing, build Tome of the Reaper instead of Boomstick . Finish upgrading Spoopy Mask into Soaring Aura if the enemy team is squishy, or Staff of Nuul if they build a lot of magic resistance. If you want to spam Skill 3 Ember's Gaze continuously, build Flashy Boots .
The enemy has assassins who keep diving to pick you off
Berith's AgonyBerith's AgonyCarano's OathCarano's Oath
If the enemy has assassins who keep diving to pick you off, build Carano's Oath Carano's Oath instead of Berith's Agony Berith's Agony : below 30% HP it cleanses crowd control and grants a shield plus +30% movement speed for 4 seconds so you can escape.
The enemy has several mages poking you from range

If the enemy has several mages poking you from range, build Medallion of Troy Medallion of Troy instead of Boomstick Boomstick for +200 magic defense, +1000 HP and a shield that absorbs 460–1300 magic damage whenever you leave combat.
Your team is ahead and your frontline keeps divers off you
Arctic OrbArctic OrbHoly of HoliesHoly of Holies
When your team is ahead and your frontline keeps divers off you, build Holy of Holies Holy of Holies instead of Arctic Orb Arctic Orb : +350 magic attack and +10% cooldown reduction make every barrage hit as hard as possible.

  • Hold down Skill 1 while moving toward the target and it will auto-fire and land on the enemy.
  • Keep just enough distance to stay within Skill 1’s range while moving.
  • After landing Skill 2 on an enemy, unload Skill 1 Explosive Fireball Explosive Fireball on them continuously, since Skill 1 costs no mana at that point
  • Take good advantage of the bonus movement speed to both chase with Skill 1 Explosive Fireball Explosive Fireball and pursue the enemy.
  • Activate Skill 2 for a speed boost, and if an enemy closes in to attack, press it again to knock them away.

How to Play Iggy in the Early Game

At the start of the match, clear minions fast with Skill 1 Explosive Fireball Explosive Fireball to reach level 2, then rotate to gank right away, since just a 2-skill combo from Iggy Iggy is already very strong.

It’s best to gank top (Caesar lane) first for an easier kill, then take advantage of Skill 2’s Fire Shadow Fire Shadow high movement speed to return and clear mid minions fast.

In the first few levels, just combo Skill 2 Fire Shadow Fire Shadow then unload Skill 1 Explosive Fireball Explosive Fireball continuously, and very few heroes can duel Iggy Iggy .

How to Play Iggy in the Mid Game

By the mid game, Iggy Iggy ‘s playstyle doesn’t change much — still clear minions fast then rotate to join fights.

While ganking continuously, remember to keep Skill 2 Fire Shadow Fire Shadow in reserve in case you’re suddenly attacked, since it grants a speed boost and knockback to save your life.

If you can’t reach a fight in time, use Skill 3 Ember's Gaze Ember's Gaze to deal damage from range.

How to Play Iggy in the Late Game

By the late game, move with your team to be ready for full team fights, and try to stack 2 charges of Skill 3 Ember's Gaze Ember's Gaze before joining an important fight.

At the start of the fight, drop Skill 3 Ember's Gaze Ember's Gaze once onto the enemy’s cluster to deal huge damage and break their formation.

Then hold a good position and spam Skill 1 Explosive Fireball Explosive Fireball to poke. Watch for when the enemy’s core damage dealer is low on health, then drop Skill 3 Ember's Gaze Ember's Gaze again to finish them off.
