Gragas vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your medium early pressure and strong gank threat to contest river control and punish Shyvana's slower early clears.
Prioritize disrupting Shyvana's fast farming and dragon setups by invading or counter-jungling when lanes have priority.
This is a control vs scale jungle matchup; leverage your utility and objective disruption to deny Shyvana's scaling windows.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes where your (E) can force flash or setup kills, then follow up with ganks to build tempo.
Use (R) to break enemy objective formations or isolate Shyvana during dragon or Rift Herald fights.
Track Shyvana's pathing to counter-gank her early pressure and contest camps when she commits to farming.

Danger windows

Respect Shyvana's early invade potential before you have cooldowns ready, as she can punish missed (E) engages.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane priority, as Shyvana's fast clear and dragon form can turn skirmishes.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Herald when Shyvana's sustained damage and objective control peak.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and prepare for early river moves.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first to secure river control.
Avoid direct early fights without lane priority since Shyvana's clear speed and dragon focus can punish overcommitment.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate key targets or disengage enemy engages, forcing Shyvana to respect your displacement.
After your first AP or tank item, trade aggressively around your burst or durability to pressure Shyvana's scaling.
At level 3, complete your kit to perform full burst trades with (E) stun and (W) damage reduction, punishing Shyvana's early aggression.

Win conditions

Convert gank pressure and river control into dragon and Rift Herald objectives by using (R) to disrupt enemy formations.
Deny Shyvana free farm and scaling by invading camps when lanes have priority and counter-ganking her early moves.
Use your burst and crowd control to create pick opportunities and teamfight disruption, leveraging your utility to control mid-game fights.
