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
  Armadura de Escamas

  Eliminar Campeões inimigos, tropas grandes e monstros grandes concede a Shyvana acúmulos de Armadura de Escamas, melhorando suas defesas.

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

• Q
  Golpe de Brasas

  O próximo ataque de Shyvana atinge tanto o alvo quanto a área ao redor. A Habilidade pode ser reconjurada. Quando assume a Forma de Dragão, ela ganha uma reconjuração adicional, causando muito dano a um único alvo.

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

• W
  Égide Infernal

  Shyvana recebe Escudo e Velocidade de Movimento. Depois de um curto intervalo, a área ao redor dela detona. Durante a Forma de Dragão, a explosão a curará se atingir um Campeão inimigo.

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

• E
  Explosão Incandescente

  Shyvana lança uma bola de fogo que explode ao atingir um alvo grande, causando Lentidão. Na Forma de Dragão, ela atravessa e explode ao atingir inimigos grandes, deixando um rastro de fogo por onde passa.

  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
  Descida do Dragão

  Shyvana se transforma em um Dragão e avança, fazendo os inimigos no caminho fugirem. Durante a Forma de Dragão, ela fica maior e suas habilidades básicas são fortalecidas.

  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.
