Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 with Q empowered autos and W cage setups, especially with 3-4 ghouls active.
- Post-6 with maiden, you maintain strong 1v1 potential but must respect Shyvana's R engage and burst potential in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Set up trades by raising ghouls first, then cage Shyvana with W when she goes for CS to guarantee Q damage and ghoul attacks.
- Focus on extended trades where your sustain and consistent DPS with ghouls outperforms her burst windows.
Wave Control
- Allow Shyvana to push early waves so you can farm safely and stack graves for ghouls near your tower.
- Once you have maiden, look to freeze waves and zone her from farm, as you win most 1v1s with proper ghoul and maiden positioning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W cage when Shyvana has her abilities on cooldown or when you have no ghouls to capitalize on the trap.
- Missing cage removes your primary trading tool and leaves you vulnerable to her superior mobility and short trade patterns.
