**Soaring Ivy** is a Standard Earth Arcana in Wizard of Legend

## Description

Element: **Earth** Type: **Standard** Subtypes: **Melee, Movement, Jump**

Throw out a vine in the direction you are aiming that deals 5 damage and stuns any enemies hit. If the vine hits an enemy you will be pulled through the air towards them, delivering a flying kick that deals 10 damage, followed by a 25 damage hit which knocks the enemy back.

If enhanced, the vine has a longer range, stuns for a longer duration and the final hit now deals 35 damage.

## Strategies

Soaring Ivy is good for quickly gaining ground on a single enemy to get them in close range or to continue a combo after they are knocked away by another arcana.

Soaring Ivy struggles against groups of enemies since it primarily deals damage to a single target, which makes you vulnerable to attack from other enemies. To avoid this weakness, isolate an enemy from a group before using Soaring Ivy on them to ensure that you can complete it's attack before other enemies approach or try to tightly group up the enemies so that all of them will be hit by Soaring Ivy.

Be careful when using Soaring Ivy on enemies that are lined up as some enemies will not be moved the full distance when you are pulled forwards, causing them to be positioned behind you when you land, giving them an opportunity to attack you.

The unenhanced vine has a shorter reach than one might expect which can cause you to miss the attack, interrupting the flow of combat if you intended to be pulled to an enemy. It is best to move forwards towards the enemy you wish to target before casting to ensure it hits.

* The enhanced version has a noticeably longer reach so you do not need to move forwards to ensure a hit in most situations.

Soaring Ivy can be used to cross pits is you hit an enemy on the other side.

While you are being pulled through the air towards an enemy you are unable to be damaged. This allows you to jump over attacks to avoid taking damage from them. However this is difficult to use by itself since you need to hit an enemy in order to perform the jump.

## Spell combos

* Close range arcana with a wide coverage area ( Shearing Chain,  Crystalline Balestra,  Spiraling Typhoon,  Flame Breath,  Tidal Blast,  Shattering Strike,  Arc Sphere,  Heroic Blaze,  Heroic Maelstrom etc) are strong follow-ups as they are almost guaranteed to damage any enemies knocked back by the final hit of Soaring Ivy.
	+ Several of these arcana also have high knockback (e.g.  Tidal Blast,  Shattering Strike,  Heroic Blaze,  Heroic Maelstrom) allowing you to disperse groups of enemies before following-up on a single one with Soaring ivy.

* Soaring Ivy is a good follow-up to arcana that knock enemies away from you such as  Spiraling Typhoon,  Radiant Knockout,  Inferno Cannon,  Voltaic Needle,  Inferno Cannon and  Rushing Typhoon, allowing you to gain ground on enemies and continue a combo.
	+ The very high knockback of  Voltaic Needle moves enemies slightly out of Soaring Ivy's range, so it is recommended move forwards before casting or enhance Soaring Ivy to improve the reliability of this combo.

* Arcana that tightly group up enemies ( Spiraling Typhoon,  Entangling Vines,  Tearing Whirlwind,  Mortal Coil,  Arcane Intervention etc) are an excellent set-up for Soaring Ivy to ensure that it hits multiple foes.
