Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Control river vision and contest Scuttle Crabs to limit Shyvana's fast clear tempo and objective access.
Prioritize safe pathing to avoid early river fights where Shyvana's displacement and speed can punish isolated clears.

Jungle Plan

Path for a standard clear into river control, prioritizing Scuttle when lane priority allows safe contest.
Look for counter-invades when Shyvana commits to a side jungle without nearby lane pressure.
Use (R) to assist side lanes in skirmishes or objective fights, converting global pressure into dragon or Rift Herald control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated early river fights where Shyvana's displacement (R) and speed (W) can force unfavorable skirmishes.
Respect dragon contests before first item spike and without lane priority, as Shyvana's objective control is strong.
After using (R), ensure wave states and vision prevent counterplays since side jungle and lanes may be vulnerable.

Early game

Match Shyvana's clear speed with a full clear to avoid early health deficits.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to reduce counter-gank risk.
Avoid early invades without lane priority; focus on safe farming and tracking Shyvana's pathing for counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks global shield and teleport, enabling map-wide fight turns; prepare camps and wave states before using (R).
First tank item spike increases survivability, allowing more confident (E) taunt engages and short trades.
Level 3 grants full short-trade kit with empowered (Q), (W), and (E), enabling punishes on Shyvana's early jungle aggression.

Win conditions

Deny Shyvana jungle camps using (E) taunt and empowered (Q) short trades to delay her scaling.
Control river vision and contest Scuttle Crabs to limit her dragon setups and force reactive pathing.
Convert (R) global pressure into objective control by assisting side lanes, securing Rift Herald, and forcing dragon fights with team priority.
