Shaco vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shaco's high early-game pressure and deceptive paths to disrupt Shyvana's fast farming and delay her scaling.
Prioritize early river control and box setups to contest dragon and limit Shyvana's objective access.

Jungle Plan

Path to create unpredictable gank angles using (Q) invisibility and box control around river entrances.
Invade or counter-jungle early if Shyvana shows slow pathing, using box traps to punish her medium invade resistance.
Prioritize setting vision and boxes around dragon and Void Grubs to control objectives and deny Shyvana's scaling windows.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Shyvana can engage with (R) displacement and burst with (E) mark.
Respect forced smite fights around dragon when Shyvana's team has lane priority and vision control.
Be cautious during low-health clears as Shyvana's fast clear speed can punish weak positioning or lack of box setups.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (W) boxes to maintain health and pressure before level 3.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage Shaco's high invade resistance.
Avoid direct early fights without box setups as Shyvana's clear speed and dragon form scaling are strong.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use early gank or invade cheese to break lanes before Shyvana reaches key power spikes.
Post level 6: Shaco's clone (R) and invisibility (Q) enhance gank threat and objective disruption, forcing Shyvana to respect stealth.
Shyvana's dragon form and item spikes mid-game increase her objective control; use early tempo to deny her these windows.

Win conditions

Convert early camp steals and trap control into dragon and Rift Herald setups to deny Shyvana's scaling.
Use deceptive ganks and counter-jungling to snowball lanes and force Shyvana into reactive farming.
Maintain river vision and box control to limit Shyvana's objective access and force teamfights on your terms before her mid-game spike.
