Draven vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Draven wins by punishing Sivir's short-range last-hit attempts with (Q) axe autos during CS windows.
Control brush and wave near your tower to safely cash in axes and deny Sivir's waveclear.
Sivir scales better in teamfights, so snowball early kills to close lane before her spikes.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Sivir during her last-hit animations only if enemy support can't punish axe catch zones.
Use (E) to interrupt Sivir's dash or block her escape when committing to short trades.
Avoid trading when axes are inactive or catch zones are under enemy support control to prevent counter trades.

Danger windows

Respect (E) when it can block your (E) slow or interrupt, negating your engage.
Avoid stepping into enemy support range or brush without vision to prevent hard trades or engage follow-ups.
Be cautious when axes drop or (E) is on cooldown, as your threat and escape options sharply decrease.

Early game

Use first three waves to stand forward and punish Sivir's caster minion last hits with (Q) autos.
Race level 2 to unlock (E) slow for interrupting Sivir's dash or disengage attempts.
Keep wave thinned to reduce (W) angles and limit her safe poke windows.

Power spikes

Level 1 (Q) axe autos let you heavily out-trade Sivir before she can safely farm.
First completed damage item turns axe trades into kill threats; force short trades to pressure recalls.
Keep (E) ready to punish Sivir's dash or disengage, increasing your all-in safety and chase potential.

Win conditions

Convert early kills or poke damage into turret plate damage by crashing waves quickly.
Use lane priority from successful axe trades to secure dragon vision and control.
Snowball lane dominance into item leads, forcing Sivir under tower before her teamfight spikes activate.
