Epic Seven Ivana Hero Build

Ivana is the Fire 5-star Soul Weaver released in June 2026 as part of Episode 6 Part 1: Elegy of the End. She is a mysterious wanderer with devout faith in the Goddess, built around the unique niche of countering immortality effects that have dominated the Epic Seven PvP meta for over a year. Where most Soul Weavers heal or protect, Ivana strips immortality and turns the enemy’s most powerful defensive mechanic into a liability.

The Epic Seven community immediately recognised Ivana’s impact. Top RTA players on the Epic7Helper leaderboards list her as a core anti-meta pick against teams running Lady of the Scales, Dark Diene, and other immortality-stacking compositions. She fills a gap that no other Soul Weaver occupies: she does not just heal, she removes the mechanic that makes certain teams nearly unkillable.

Why Ivana matters in the 2026 meta

Immortality effects have been endemic in Epic Seven PvP since Lady of the Scales and Dark Diene became draft staples. Teams built around these heroes force opponents to burn significant resources just to score a kill. Ivana breaks that equation:

1. Strips immortality at the start of every turn — her S2 passive ignores Effect Resistance, meaning no hero can stack enough resistance to dodge this
2. Teamwide CR push on S3 — after dispelling enemy immortality, she pushes her entire team forward, resetting the turn order in her favour
3. S3 cleanses two debuffs and grants immunity — the full cleanse-plus-protection package on a four-turn cooldown

For players struggling against immortality-heavy lineups, Ivana is the systematic answer. She is not a generic support — she is a surgical counter to a specific dominant strategy.

Skill kit

S2 — Light of Repose (passive)

At the start of each turn, Ivana displays immortality from all enemies, ignoring Effect Resistance entirely. This is the core mechanic: against teams that rely on Lady of the Scales, Dark Diene, or similar immortality-granting heroes, Ivana removes the buff before damage is dealt. At the end of someone’s turn, when an enemy is granted immortality, she displays all debuffs from all allies and grants radiance for 2 turns, before increasing her own Combat Readiness by 50%. The passive also makes her immune to Combat Readiness reduction.

S3 — Requiem Prayer (4 turns, +3 souls)

Displays two debuffs from all allies by offering a prayer to banish evil, and grants immunity for 2 turns before increasing Combat Readiness by 20%. This is the teamwide safety button: cleanse, immunity, and CR push in one skill. At +6 the cooldown reduces to 3 turns, making Ivana’s protection nearly continuous in longer matches.

S1 — Holy Light (no cooldown, +1 soul)

Attacks the enemy with holy light and recovers Health of allies proportional to the target’s max Health. The heal scales with the enemy’s HP pool, making Ivana’s S1 particularly effective against high-HP bruisers and tanks. Skill-ups increase the healing amount and damage dealt.

Stat priority

Ivana is a support Soul Weaver focused on survival and utility. The stat priority is HP%, Defense%, Effect Resistance, Speed.

• HP%: primary survivability for a front-line support. Target 15,000+ effective HP.
• Defense%: secondary survivability to pair with her HP pool.
• Effect Resistance: important if the enemy runs strip heroes who can remove her buffs.
• Speed: enables her to act first and strip immortality before enemy turns.

Artifacts: Excommunicant’s Censer is the premium artifact for Soul Weavers, providing immunity and extra healing. Rod of Amaryllis works for sustained healing. Proof of Valor is a budget option for emergency protection.

Skill-ups

S2 first — Light of Repose is the core immortality-stripping mechanic. S3 next — Requiem Prayer is the teamwide cleanse and immunity package. S1 last — Holy Light is filler healing.

MolaGora budget: +6 minimum on S2 for the CR boost. +3 on S3 for cooldown relief.

Team fit

Ivana fits anti-immortality compositions in RTA and Arena defense. She pairs well with heroes that apply debuffs, as her passive spreads light to cleanse allies when enemies gain immortality. Against teams running Lady of the Scales or Dark Diene, Ivana is a near-mandatory draft pick.

Counters to Ivana

• Strip heroes — Basar, Landy, Seaside Bellona remove her buffs and can prevent her from cleansing allies
• AoE damage — AoE ignores her single-target protection and punishes teamwide positioning
• CR pushers — Peira, Ran can push through her CR manipulation
