Taliyah vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's superior clear speed and worked ground to contest early Scuttle Crabs and control river vision around dragon.
Prioritize cross-map pressure with (R) to create numbers advantages and punish Shyvana's slower early gank threat.
Manage tempo by influencing side lanes and securing vision to exploit Shyvana's farming reliance and weak early invades.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears while maintaining worked ground to maximize clear speed and prepare for river control.
Fight for river control and Scuttle Crabs only when allied lanes have priority to enable safer objective setups.
Use (W) and (E) to punish Shyvana’s predictable paths through jungle chokepoints and force her off camps.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Shyvana can leverage her speed and (R) for aggressive engages.
Exercise caution contesting dragon without lane priority as Shyvana can force smite fights with strong objective control.
Maintain vision and health thresholds before committing to low-health clears to prevent fast counter-jungling or invades.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves worked ground for efficient movement and early river presence.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Avoid early invades unless Shyvana is tracked on the opposite side or low on health due to her fast clear speed.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), greatly increasing map pressure and gank threat; use it to force fights and secure objectives before Shyvana scales.
First completed mage item enhances poke and wave control, allowing stronger pressure on camps and lanes to deny Shyvana free farm.
Respect Shyvana’s mid-game dragon form spike by reinforcing vision and avoiding isolated fights during her stronger dueling window.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear speed and worked ground control into early river dominance and Scuttle Crab control to deny Shyvana tempo.
Punish Shyvana’s jungle pathing with (W) and (E) in chokepoints to force her off camps and enable counter-jungling.
Leverage (R) for cross-map plays to assist lanes, secure Rift Herald, and create numbers advantages at dragon fights before Shyvana’s mid-game spike.
