Shyvana vs Warwick

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana's strength lies in fast clears and dragon-form scaling, so prioritize farming over early fights.
Avoid early river skirmishes where Warwick's sustain and fear can punish isolated fights.
Use Shyvana's scaling and objective control to outpace Warwick's early dueling and snowball potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fast camp cycling to outpace Warwick and secure dragon control when bot and mid have priority.
Avoid early direct invades; instead, counter-jungle only when Warwick is visible on the opposite side or after he commits to a gank.
Use vision control around dragon and river to set up objective trades favoring Shyvana's scaling and sustained damage.

Danger windows

Warwick's early level 3 dueling with (E) fear and (Q) healing makes isolated river fights risky; avoid contests without lane priority.
Post-level 6 suppression (R) can lock Shyvana down if caught out; maintain vision and avoid overextending alone.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near dragon are dangerous if Warwick has lane priority and can engage first.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach dragon-form and item spikes faster than Warwick.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Warwick's strong early dueling.
Track Warwick's early pathing to anticipate his river pressure and avoid counter-invades without lane support.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Shyvana's dragon-form (R), enabling stronger objective control and teamfight presence; use this to contest dragon and Herald.
Warwick's level 3 gives him strong dueling with sustain and fear; avoid extended fights before Shyvana has fury and (E) damage ready.
Shyvana's first major item spike boosts clear speed and damage, increasing pressure on Warwick's slower clear and weaker dueling.

Win conditions

Convert Shyvana's faster clear speed and dragon-form scaling into consistent dragon control and mid-game objective pressure.
Use cross-map tracking of Warwick to counter-gank and punish his early river moves when lanes can assist.
Leverage Shyvana's sustained damage in teamfights post-level 6 to secure Herald and dragons, denying Warwick scaling and pick potential.
