Shyvana vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shyvana's very high clear speed to outpace Taliyah's jungle and secure early tempo.
Prioritize dragon control as your scaling and objective strength surpass Taliyah's early pressure.
Avoid early river skirmishes without lane priority or fury, as Taliyah's displacement and zone control can punish isolated fights.

Jungle Plan

Full clear and path toward bot side to set up dragon control when bot and mid lanes have priority.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can assist or you have fury to survive Taliyah's poke and displacement.
Use your fast clear to counter-jungle after tracking Taliyah's pathing, focusing on camps away from her main gank angles.

Danger windows

Early river fights before level 6 are risky due to (W) displacement and (E) zone control.
Low-health clears expose you to forced smite fights where Taliyah's poke can tip the balance.
Avoid invading when bot and mid lanes lack priority, as Taliyah can leverage her gank threat and terrain control to punish you.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit dragon-form and item spikes faster than Taliyah.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Taliyah's strong poke and displacement.
Avoid early invades before level 6 to prevent getting caught by (W) and (E) combo in river choke points.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your dragon-form ultimate, significantly increasing your dueling and objective control; use this to contest dragon and force fights.
First major item completion boosts your clear speed and damage, enabling safer invades and stronger skirmishes around objectives.
Taliyah's level 6 (R) increases her map pressure; respect her roam potential and avoid isolated fights when her ultimate is available.

Win conditions

Convert your fast clear speed into consistent dragon control by coordinating with bot and mid lanes for vision and priority.
Use dragon-form spikes to force mid-game fights around objectives where your sustained damage outperforms Taliyah's burst.
Track Taliyah's pathing to counter-jungle safely and deny her scaling, leveraging your superior clear speed and dueling potential post-6.
