Ivara Prime · The kit
Cloak, sleep, steal, bow
Ivara is a stealth huntress whose fourth ability is a real primary. Learn Prowl and Sleep first. Artemis Bow waits until the exalted grid has mods. Navigator is Helminth food.

Senses
Ivara hears nearby enemies inside a small radius — a radar ping on the minimap even through walls. Useful in Spy vaults and when Prowl has you staring at a floor texture. It will not replace Enemy Radar, but it is free.
Quiver
25Hold to cycle, tap to fire. Cloak Arrow is a stationary invis bubble. Dashwire is a zipline. Noise lures. Sleep puts a bubble of enemies (and cameras) to bed — Empowered Quiver makes Cloak extra tanky and Dashwire a crit stick. Learn Sleep, then Cloak, then the other two.

Navigator
25 + drainTake control of any projectile Ivara just fired and steer it. Piercing Navigator (augment) adds punch through and a damage ramp. It is a fun party trick and almost every 2026 build replaces it with Empower or Roar.

Prowl
25 + drain (more if you sprint)Ivara cloaks. Sprinting, bullet jumping, or loud guns break it. Headshots deal extra damage. Standing behind an enemy pickpockets extra loot on a timer. Infiltrate (augment) lets you walk through laser barriers and speeds you up. Arcane Crepuscular turns the cloak into a crit buff. Duration and Efficiency are the ability.

Artemis Bow
50 + per shotSummon Ivara's exalted primary. Tap-fire is a vertical fan of seven arrows; hold-fire is a horizontal fan. Concentrated Arrow (augment) collapses them into a single shot that explodes on weak points. Mod the bow itself — Serration, crit, Primed Firestorm. Strength scales the damage. Range plus Firestorm scales the boom. Do not press 4 with an empty grid.
