Shyvana vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana should leverage her very high clear speed to outpace Trundle and secure early dragon control.
Prioritize scaling through fast full clears and avoid early river fights where Trundle's dueling and invade strength dominate.

Jungle Plan

Focus on fast camp cycling and trading camps when Trundle commits to early river or lane pressure.
Contest dragon only when bot and mid lane priority secure safe setups; otherwise, prioritize Herald and Void Grubs.
Use vision control to deny Trundle safe invades and set up counter-jungling after his early river attempts.

Danger windows

Early river fights before Shyvana reaches dragon form are dangerous due to Trundle's superior dueling and pillar control.
Isolated skirmishes near objectives without lane priority expose Shyvana to Trundle's invade and stat-steal threats.
Forced smite fights when low health or without vision control can easily be lost to Trundle's sustain and damage.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach dragon form and item power spikes quickly, minimizing early contest risk.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle unless bot and mid lanes have clear priority to support.
Track Trundle's pathing to counter-gank around river when his pillar (E) is used aggressively.

Power spikes

At level 6, Shyvana's dragon form (R) significantly increases fight potential; use it to contest or force objectives.
First completed item powers up Shyvana's sustained damage, enabling stronger objective control and dueling.
Avoid extended fights when Trundle has his (R) active on a tank, as his stat steal reduces your damage effectiveness.

Win conditions

Convert Shyvana's superior clear speed into consistent dragon control by timing full clears with lane priority.
Use dragon form (R) power spikes to force mid-game teamfights and secure Rift Herald for map pressure.
Deny Trundle scaling by counter-jungling after tracking his path and punishing his early river moves with vision and tempo advantage.
