Playing against Shyvana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Without her dragon form (R), Shyvana is much less dangerous — fight her when her fury bar is low.

2

Contest drakes: each drake makes her stronger and recharges her R faster.

3

Her E in dragon form does the majority of her damage: dodge the fire zone on the ground.

4

Shyvana has no hard CC — kite champions counter her well since she can't catch you.
