Elise into Shyvanamedium

Overview

Elise must leverage her very high early gank threat and dueling to snowball lanes before Shyvana scales.
Use early three-camp clears into aggressive invades or ganks to punish Shyvana's slower early game.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle fights only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid isolated skirmishes.

Path for early three-camp clears into lanes with priority to force Shyvana off camps before her spikes.
Invade aggressively before Shyvana's first reset using cocoon to punish her medium invade resistance.
Control river vision to deny Shyvana safe dragon setups and enable your team to secure Rift Herald and dragons.

Respect Shyvana's post-6 displacement when contesting dragon or river fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority as Shyvana's mobility and form damage can overwhelm you.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Shyvana's fast clear can outpace you.

Start with a three-camp clear and look to gank or invade before Shyvana hits level 3.
Avoid full clears to prevent giving Shyvana tempo advantage from her very fast clear speed.
Contest early Scuttle only if your lanes can collapse quickly to secure vision and objective control.

Level 3 with cocoon and rappel is your major power spike to force early kills and invades.
Shyvana's key spike is post-6 with dragon form and item scaling; pressure her before this timing.
Your early burst and form swapping let you punish Shyvana's weaker early clear and gank threat.

Convert early gank and invade leads into dragon control and lane snowballs before Shyvana's mid-game spike.
Use cocoon and early dueling to deny Shyvana free farm and delay her scaling.
Maintain river vision and coordinate counter-ganks to secure Rift Herald and dragons, dictating objective tempo.
