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
  Armure d'écailles

  Les éliminations de champions ennemis, de grands sbires et de grands monstres confèrent à Shyvana des effets Armure d'écailles, améliorant ses résistances.

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

• Q
  Frappe enflammée

  La prochaine attaque de Shyvana frappe à la fois la cible et la zone environnante. Cette compétence peut être réactivée. Lorsque Shyvana est en forme de dragon, la compétence bénéficie d'une réactivation supplémentaire, infligeant d'énormes dégâts à une cible unique.

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

• W
  Égide de feu

  Shyvana gagne un bouclier, de la vitesse de déplacement et, après un court délai, la zone autour d'elle explose. Lorsqu'elle est en forme de dragon, l'explosion lui octroie des soins si elle touche un champion ennemi.

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

• E
  Éruption

  Shyvana lance une boule de feu qui explose en touchant un grand ennemi et le ralentit. En forme de dragon, la boule de feu traverse et explose au contact des grands ennemis, laissant derrière elle une traînée de feu.

  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
  Vol du dragon

  Shyvana se transforme en dragon et bondit en avant, faisant fuir les ennemis sur son passage. Sous forme de dragon, elle devient plus grande et ses compétences de base sont renforcées.

  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.
