Shyvana vs Ekko

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana excels at fast clears and scaling into dragon-form, so focus on farming efficiently and hitting key item spikes before forcing fights.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority as Ekko's mobility and stun setup can punish isolated engagements.

Jungle Plan

Use fast camp cycling to outpace Ekko and force him into reactive farming rather than aggressive invades.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can assist or when Ekko is spotted on opposite side to reduce counter-invade risk.
Focus on dragon setups and vision control to leverage Shyvana's strong objective control and scaling power over Ekko's burst threat.

Danger windows

Avoid early river fights before level 6 where Ekko can use (W) stun and mobility to punish isolated Shyvana.
Be wary of forced smite fights when Ekko has ultimate available, as he can dodge damage and reset fights.
Low-health clears expose Shyvana to Ekko's burst; ensure health before contesting camps near enemy vision.

Early game

Start with a full clear to leverage Shyvana's very high clear speed and track Ekko's pathing for counter-gank opportunities.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky early fights against Ekko's mobility and stun.
Prioritize pathing toward dragon when bot and mid lanes show lane priority to secure early objective control.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike: use Shyvana's dragon-form (R) to contest objectives and force teamfights before Ekko can safely use his ultimate.
Item spikes that enhance Shyvana's sustained damage allow stronger objective control and dueling, so prioritize farming to reach these quickly.
Ekko's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo increases his burst threat; avoid isolated fights before you have fury or lane support.

Win conditions

Convert Shyvana's superior clear speed into sustained dragon control by sequencing camps toward dragon when lanes have priority.
Use dragon-form (R) to engage or disengage in mid-game fights, leveraging your scaling to outlast Ekko's burst.
Deny Ekko free farm and scaling by tracking his pathing and punishing him during cooldown windows or when he overextends for jungle camps.
