Kha'Zix vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kha'Zix's isolation burst and stealth to punish Shyvana's slower early clear and lack of early pressure.
Focus on controlling river vision and isolating Shyvana in jungle entrances to leverage superior dueling and objective damage.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading isolated camps when Shyvana is mid-clear or farming away from lanes to deny her scaling.
Use fog and vision denial around dragon and Rift Herald to set up picks before starting objectives.
Track Shyvana's pathing to counter-gank her post-6 dragon-form gank attempts and punish her lower early gank threat.

Danger windows

Avoid early river fights before level 6 when Shyvana can quickly clear and collapse with (W) and (E).
Be cautious contesting dragon without lane priority or vision as Shyvana's objective control and sustained damage peak.
Watch for forced smite fights when low health after clears; Shyvana's fast clear speed can pressure these windows.

Early game

Start with a path that enables early level 3 or 4 isolation picks before Shyvana completes her full clear.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Shyvana's fast clear and counter-gank.
Avoid fighting Shyvana in grouped river skirmishes early; instead, look for isolated camps or lanes to invade safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth to reposition for isolated picks before Shyvana gains dragon-form power.
After first damage item, increase invade frequency to punish Shyvana's reliance on farming and delay her spikes.
Respect Shyvana's mid-game dragon-form scaling and avoid extended fights without lane or vision advantage.

Win conditions

Use isolation damage and (R) stealth to pick off Shyvana during her jungle pathing or river transitions.
Deny Shyvana free farm by invading camps when lanes cannot collapse, delaying her dragon-form spike.
Convert picks into early dragon or Rift Herald control by setting vision and forcing Shyvana into unfavorable fights.
