Shyvana wins by leveraging her very high clear speed to outpace Kha'Zix and secure dragon control before he can isolate targets for picks.
Prioritize farming and scaling into dragon-form to dominate mid-game fights and objective trades against Kha'Zix's medium early pressure and medium invade resistance.
Jungle Plan
Use fast clear speed to trade camps and secure dragon when bot and mid lane priority allow safe river control.
Track Kha'Zix's pathing to anticipate his isolation attempts and counter-gank when he invades or pressures lanes.
Avoid direct early invades unless you have vision and lane support; instead, focus on cross-map objective trades and tempo resets to deny Kha'Zix scaling.
Danger windows
