Diana vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Diana's fast AoE clear to reach level 6 quickly and pressure objectives with (R).
Prioritize efficient clears and avoid early river fights unless lanes have priority to support you.
This is a mid-paced scaling matchup where Diana must leverage level 6 all-ins and objective control to outpace Shyvana's farming and dragon form.

Jungle Plan

Use your fast clear to reach level 6 first and then look to force objective fights where (R) can hit multiple targets.
Track Shyvana's pathing and be ready to counter-gank when she shows on the map or commits to dragon setups.
Prioritize river control and contest dragon only when your bot and mid lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.

Danger windows

Respect Shyvana's early clear speed and displacement (R) when she approaches river fights or objectives before level 6.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without lane priority as Shyvana can force smite fights with her sustained damage.
Be cautious when your (E) is on cooldown, as you lose a key mobility and burst tool, making you vulnerable to counter-invades.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset to hit level 3 and unlock your (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority and can help secure it safely.
Avoid early invades before level 6 as missing (Q) or (E) resets can lead to losing fights against Shyvana's clear speed and displacement (R).

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo; use it to punish Shyvana when she overextends or misses her (E) mark.
Level 6 (R) greatly increases your all-in threat and teamfight presence; use it to force picks or objective fights.
First completed AP item boosts your damage output, enabling you to pressure waves and objectives more confidently.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear and level 6 power spike into objective control by forcing fights around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use your (Q)+(E)+(W) combo to punish Shyvana's farming and deny her scaling by invading camps when lanes have priority.
Leverage your (R) in mid-game teamfights and skirmishes to create picks and enable your team to secure dragons and map control.
