Shyvana vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shyvana's superior clear speed to secure full clears and control dragon tempo early.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority to prevent Fiddlesticks from leveraging his post-6 ambush threat.
Focus on scaling into dragon-form for strong mid-game objective control and teamfight presence.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps efficiently and sequence toward dragon when bot and mid lanes hold priority.
Fight for Scuttle only when allied lanes can support river control to deny Fiddlesticks vision and setup.
Use superior clear speed to counter-jungle after Fiddlesticks commits to a full clear or post-6 gank attempt.

Danger windows

Early invade attempts before Shyvana's form and item spikes are risky due to Fiddlesticks' fear (Q) and silence (E).
Isolated river fights post-level 6 are dangerous because Fiddlesticks can ambush with his ultimate.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near dragon require caution to avoid being caught by Fiddlesticks' crowd control.

Early game

Prioritize a fast full clear to reach dragon-form and key item spikes before contesting objectives.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk from Fiddlesticks' weak early dueling.
Avoid early invades; instead track Fiddlesticks' pathing to anticipate his post-6 gank angles.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Shyvana's dragon-form (R), enabling stronger objective control and skirmishes; push tempo around this spike.
First major item completion boosts Shyvana's mixed damage, increasing duel potential and objective damage.
Fiddlesticks' level 6 spike with (R) requires Shyvana to respect fog-of-war and avoid isolated river fights.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and lane priority into dragon control to leverage Shyvana's scaling and objective pressure.
Use dragon-form (R) to secure teamfights and force Fiddlesticks into unfavorable engagements.
Deny Fiddlesticks vision around objectives to limit his ambush potential and enable safer counter-jungling.
