Shyvana vs Ivern

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana relies on fast clears and dragon-form power spikes to outpace Ivern's utility and slower clear speed.
Prioritize trading camps and dragon control over early fights, as Shyvana lacks strong early gank threat against Ivern's teamplay setup.

Jungle Plan

Full clear and sequence toward dragon when bot and mid lane priority allow safe river control.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can collapse quickly to punish Ivern's low dueling.
Use fast clear speed to trade camps and objectives cross-map rather than forcing early ganks without lane priority.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before dragon-form and item spikes, as Ivern's root and knockup can set up lethal CC.
Be cautious during low-health clears where Ivern can force smite fights with team follow-up.
Respect enemy lanes' ability to collapse early; avoid invading without lane priority or vision control.

Early game

Start full clear to hit dragon-form and item spikes before contesting river or camps.
Avoid early river fights unless bot and mid lanes have clear priority to support.
Track Ivern's unusual pathing to anticipate safe counter-jungle or Scuttle contests.

Power spikes

Level 6 dragon-form unlocks stronger dueling and objective control; use it to pressure dragon and skirmishes.
First major item spike enhances Shyvana's sustained damage, enabling better objective trades and camp control.
Ivern's utility and shields scale late; prioritize early tempo and dragon control to deny his team scaling advantage.

Win conditions

Convert fast clear tempo into dragon control and objective trades when bot and mid lanes have priority.
Use dragon-form power spikes to force mid-game fights and deny Ivern's utility scaling.
Track and counter-gank Ivern's unusual routes to maintain tempo and prevent his team from setting up vision or objectives.
