Nasus vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on safe full clears to match Shyvana's tempo and avoid early river fights without lane priority.
Prioritize stacking (Q) and reaching level 6 before contesting objectives or invading to minimize risk against Shyvana's mobility and fast clears.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears and track Shyvana's position to set up counter-ganks or invade when she is on the opposite side.
Use river vision and lane priority to secure dragon contests when bot and mid lanes can assist.
Focus on side jungle camps and invade to deny Shyvana's scaling once you reach level 6 and have enough (Q) stacks for dueling.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6 and meaningful (Q) stacks is risky due to Shyvana's faster clears and objective pressure.
Isolated river fights without lane priority risk losing Smite and objectives to Shyvana's sustained damage.
Low-health clears or forced Smite fights before your durability spike can cause tempo loss and jungle control setbacks.

Early game

Start with a full clear to keep pace with Shyvana and avoid early skirmishes.
Contest the first Scuttle Crab only if your laners have priority to prevent losing tempo and objectives.
Avoid invading before you have key (Q) stacks and level 6 to reduce vulnerability to Shyvana's early pressure.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants durability and extended fight threat; use it to hold ground in river fights and punish Shyvana's engages.
High (Q) stack threshold turns you into a strong duelist; leverage this to pressure side lanes and deny Shyvana's objective control.
Respect Shyvana's mid-game dragon-form spike by avoiding risky fights before your key power spikes are online.

Win conditions

Convert stacked (Q) and level 6 durability into side-lane pressure to force enemy responses and open objective windows.
Use vision control and lane priority to contest dragon and Rift Herald, denying Shyvana's scaling and objective dominance.
Track Shyvana's pathing to counter-gank and invade safely, leveraging your scaling dueling power to snowball jungle control.
