How to beat Shyvana

Common role: Jungle

A dragon that powerfarms, then one-shots with empowered fireballs.

What makes Shyvana dangerous

Shyvana powerfarms to her item spikes, gains permanent resists from dragons, and her ultimate transforms her into a dragon — diving in with a knock-aside and raining AoE flames. AP builds one-shot squishies with the dragon E fireball. She appears from fog and deletes someone.

How to play against Shyvana

• 1Invade and fight her early — she has no CC and weak duels before items.
• 2Deny her dragons: each one permanently strengthens her.
• 3In dragon form dodge the E fireball — it's most of her AP burst.
• 4Track her on the map: no CC means her ganks are weak — punish her lanes.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Zero crowd control — her ganks pre-6 are the weakest in the game.
• ✓Weak duelist before her item spikes.
• ✓Predictable powerfarm pattern — invade the opposite side.
• ✓AP burst is one skillshot — dodge it and she's a melee minion.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Shyvana's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Cota de escamas

  Las eliminaciones de campeones enemigos, súbditos grandes y monstruos gigantes otorgan a Shyvana acumulaciones de Cota de escamas, lo que mejora sus defensas.

  Strong: every dragon slain permanently boosts her resists. Weak: it's a map objective — deny dragons and the passive stays weak.

• Q
  Golpe de ascuas

  El siguiente ataque de Shyvana golpea tanto al objetivo como la zona circundante. Esta habilidad se puede reactivar. Mientras está en forma de dragón, puede reactivarla una vez más, lo que inflige una gran cantidad de daño a un único objetivo.

  Strong: a double-hit auto that applies on-hits twice. Weak: melee only — kite her and it never lands.

• W
  Égida infernal

  Shyvana obtiene un escudo y velocidad de movimiento. Tras un breve retardo, detona e inflige daño a su alrededor. Mientras está en forma de dragón, la explosión la cura si golpea a un campeón enemigo.

  Strong: an AoE burn with move speed — her clear and stick tool. Weak: needs her glued to you; disengage wastes the burn.

• E
  Explosión magmática

  Shyvana lanza una bola de fuego que explota al golpear a un objetivo grande y lo ralentiza. En forma de dragón, atraviesa a los enemigos y explota al impactar contra enemigos grandes, dejando un rastro de fuego a su paso.

  Strong: in dragon form a huge AoE fireball — most of her AP one-shot. Weak: a dodgeable projectile — sidestep it and the burst is gone.

• R
  Ascendencia de dragón

  Shyvana se transforma en dragón y salta hacia delante, lo que hace huir a los enemigos que se encuentran en su camino. Mientras está en forma de dragón, aumenta de tamaño y sus habilidades básicas se ven potenciadas.

  Strong: transforms with bonus HP and dives your backline through walls. Weak: no CC in the dive — peel and kite it out; she can't lock anyone.

Itemization

Punish her early with invades and lane pressure. MR vs AP builds; keep vision so the dragon dive doesn't come from fog.
