Master Yi vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and item tempo to outscale Shyvana's early dragon-form power spikes.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority to prevent losing tempo to her faster clears and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Focus on full clearing and maintaining high camp tempo to reach your scaling windows before contesting objectives.
Contest Scuttle and dragon only when your lanes have priority and Shyvana is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Use counter-ganks around mid and bot river when Shyvana commits to early dragon attempts to punish her low early dueling resistance.

Danger windows

Early game river fights when Shyvana has lane priority and can force you off Scuttle or objectives.
Low-health clears where you are vulnerable to Shyvana's burst and displacement.
Forced smite fights around dragon when Shyvana's team has better setup or vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach your first item spike without risking early skirmishes.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid losing tempo to Shyvana's faster clear speed.
Track Shyvana's pathing to anticipate her dragon setups and avoid early counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks your reset potential; enter fights after Shyvana commits her displacement to clean up low-health targets.
First item spike increases your sustained damage and objective speed; maintain camp tempo to hit this power spike before fighting.
Respect Shyvana's dragon-form power spike post-level 6; avoid isolated fights where she can use (R) engage effectively.

Win conditions

Use superior clear speed and tracking to farm safely toward your first and second item spikes.
Punish Shyvana's early dragon attempts with counter-ganks when lanes have priority.
Enter teamfights after key enemy crowd control is used, leveraging (Q) and (R) to reset and clean up fights.
