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
  スケールメイル

  敵チャンピオン、大型ミニオン、大型モンスターのキルかアシストで「スケールメイル」のスタックを獲得し、シヴァーナの防御力が向上する。

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

• Q
  エンバーストライク

  次の通常攻撃で、対象とその周囲の両方を攻撃する。このスキルは再発動が可能。ドラゴンフォーム中は再発動が1回追加され、単体の敵に大ダメージを与える。

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

• W
  インフェルノイージス

  シールドと移動速度を獲得し、少ししてから周囲を爆発させる。ドラゴンフォーム中は、爆発が敵チャンピオンに命中すると自身の体力が回復する。

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

• E
  モルテンバースト

  火球を放ち、大型の対象に命中すると爆発して、スロウ効果を付与する。ドラゴンフォーム中は敵を貫通し、大型の敵に命中すると爆発して、炎の軌跡を残す。

  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
  龍の降臨

  ドラゴンに変身して前方にジャンプし、進路上の敵を逃走させる。ドラゴンフォーム中は巨大化し、通常スキルが強化される。

  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.
