Fiddlesticks vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and vision control before forcing fights to leverage Fiddlesticks' scaling and ambush strengths.
Avoid early direct river fights and invades until level 6 to mitigate Shyvana's strong clear and dueling potential.
This is a scaling control matchup where Fiddlesticks uses superior objective control and ultimate ambushes to outmaneuver Shyvana.

Jungle Plan

Execute full multi-camp clears while tracking Shyvana's path to anticipate and counter her cross-map objective trades.
Contest Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and avoid direct invades before level 6 to reduce risk from Shyvana's dueling.
Use post-6 ultimate to set up fogged ambushes around dragon and Herald, forcing Shyvana to respect your presence and control objectives.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Shyvana's medium dueling and clear speed can overwhelm you.
Beware forced smite fights on dragon where Shyvana's sustained damage and displacement (R) can outduel you.
Be cautious during low-health clears or after unsuccessful ganks, as Shyvana can capitalize on your vulnerability to invade or contest objectives.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 6 on tempo and avoid early fights where Shyvana's clear speed and medium dueling threaten.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky river fights.
Use resets to sweep and deny vision before objective setups, especially around dragon and Rift Herald.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to create high-impact ambushes that can turn objective fights in your favor.
Respect Shyvana's dragon form and item spikes mid-game, which increase her dueling and objective control threat.
Leverage your very high clear speed early to reach key scaling points faster than Shyvana.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and vision denial into uncontested dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use (R) ambushes post-level 6 to create picks and force Shyvana off key objectives.
Deny Shyvana free farm by counter-jungling when lanes have priority and force her into unfavorable fights to delay her scaling.
