Wukong vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Wukong must manage tempo by reaching level 6 quickly to leverage strong engage and skirmish potential.
Prioritize controlling river vision and objective setups to challenge Shyvana's superior clear speed and scaling.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong follow-up to maximize (R) knockup impact during ganks and skirmishes.
Use clone to bait Shyvana's key cooldowns before committing to river fights or objective contests.
Prioritize early dragon control when bot and mid have lane priority, using vision to deny Shyvana safe setups.

Danger windows

Early isolated river fights before level 6 are risky; Shyvana's (E) mark damage and mobility can punish overextensions.
Forced smite fights around dragon require careful vision and lane priority; avoid fighting without lane support.
Low-health clears increase vulnerability to counter-invades; reset or retreat to safe camps if pressured.

Early game

Start with a standard clear focusing on efficient camp sequencing to hit level 6 before Shyvana can fully power farm.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority and can follow up on your engage.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first to support or if Shyvana shows on the opposite side of the map.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for disruptive teamfight engage; use this to force fights around river objectives.
First major item completion increases dueling and skirmish strength; look to contest camps and objectives aggressively then.
Shyvana's dragon form and item spikes mid-game require you to deny her scaling by forcing fights before she reaches full power.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 engage into winning river skirmishes to secure dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use clone deception to bait cooldowns and punish Shyvana's slower early clear by invading or counter-jungling.
Leverage teamfight disruption from (R) to enable your team to secure objectives and deny Shyvana's scaling impact.
