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
미늘갑옷적 챔피언, 대형 미니언, 대형 몬스터 처치 관여 시 쉬바나가 미늘갑옷 중첩을 얻어 방어력 및 마법 저항력이 증가합니다.
Strong: every dragon slain permanently boosts her resists. Weak: it's a map objective — deny dragons and the passive stays weak.
Q
잉걸불 일격쉬바나의 다음 기본 공격이 대상과 주변 지역을 모두 타격합니다. 이 스킬은 재사용할 수 있습니다. 용 형상일 때는 스킬을 한 번 더 사용할 수 있으며, 단일 대상에게 막대한 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: a double-hit auto that applies on-hits twice. Weak: melee only — kite her and it never lands.
W
지옥불 방패쉬바나가 보호막과 이동 속도를 얻으며, 잠시 후 쉬바나 주변에 폭발을 일으킵니다. 용 형상일 때 폭발이 적 챔피언에게 적중하면 체력을 회복합니다.
Strong: an AoE burn with move speed — her clear and stick tool. Weak: needs her glued to you; disengage wastes the burn.
E
용암 분출쉬바나가 화염구를 날리고 대형 대상에게 적중 시 폭발하며 둔화를 적용합니다. 용 형상일 때는 화염구가 대형 적에게 적중 시 관통하며 폭발하고 지나간 자리에 불길을 남깁니다.
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
용의 강림쉬바나가 용으로 변신해 전방으로 도약하며 경로에 있는 적을 달아나게 합니다. 용 형상일 때는 크기가 커지고 기본 스킬이 강화됩니다.
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.
