In lane you should play for securing and stealing souls, Ivy has a precise and fast weapon, so she's good at it
Later you make sure to stay behind your fellas, or you won't be having a good time with Rescue Beam (best item in the game)
When there's the possibility, try to flank or gank with your ult to secure kills
When you'll have all the Early Game items, you can clear minion waves like it's nothing.
