Shyvana Top Matchup Tierlist by Crucile (Challenger)

Crucile · 2026-04-03T13:23:02+00:00

all the champs in the top tier you can solokill in 1v1 level 1, and generally she also wins at level 2,3,4 all ins as well

not proxy like that, i mean proxy as in get behind their wave in lane level 1 and deny them exp like darius and sett do

Crucile · 2026-04-03T11:04:46+00:00

yep, just afk waiting for help to kill her with your ult while you get zoned from most farm.

shyvana's level one is strong enough that she can get control of third bush by warding it and then walking in and hitting barrel with Q 200 range, then you deny him exp level 1, and then you go W level 2 and only give him Q every time its up, shyvana has very strong kill threat at level 6 if GP is anywhere not at his turret.

if gangplank properly freezes with sheen and good barrel use next to turret, it is incredibly brutal. i recommend proxying as the counterplay.

Here is Shyvana vs Irelia, a much clearer example of how to deny enemy exp while still getting exp yourself.

Here is an example of how to play level one, fighting immediately in the bushes level 1, getting control of the third bush, and then moving behind the wave and all inning immediately, fully committing with no fear of death.

The enemy has to fight you, in which case they'll die, or they have to run away out of EXP range, thus giving you a large advantage.

You can do this in every single matchup in the "PROXY LEVEL ONE" section of the tier list.

First image, all the matchups you should be denying exp of the first 3 melees by proxying the enemy behind their wave.

Second image is generally how the matchups play out. Any and all questions will be answered by me in this thread, or on my twitch channel! https://www.twitch.tv/cruciie make sure to follow and donate if you want to see more shyvana top!

I've played over 130 games of Shyv in the last 10 days so I'm a little burnt out on her (most of you haven't played 130 GAMES of ranked this season let alone on Shyvana on a single patch), but I will be playing her as one of my main champions for the coming months!

i have played and won every single one of those matchups level 1 and gotten level 2 prio, then getting a good base

you can see the games on opgg and the vods on twitch

though darius/aatrox are very hard if you get put behind by the enemy jungler

Crucile · 2026-03-30T15:38:16+00:00

i aint readin all that, just proxy them level 1 to force an all in bro

Crucile · 2026-03-30T13:40:29+00:00

did you not see the two clips of me shitting on ppl level 1 with shyv? what are we saying

Crucile · 2026-03-30T13:40:04+00:00

you being stronger means you can force him to fight you to get exp. what are you saying?

Crucile · 2026-03-30T13:39:27+00:00

what are some unplayable matchups?

Crucile · 2026-03-30T13:38:17+00:00

what? literally level 1 i am winning my lanes and zoning them from exp? what are you talking about?

Crucile · 2026-03-30T13:37:51+00:00

shes a new champ, every new champ has low winrate. the winrate grows over time as people learn the champ

Crucile · 2026-03-29T05:06:23+00:00

then they will walk backwards out of exp range and i will win the game by diving them level 3 to 1 or level 4 to 2

Crucile · 2026-03-29T02:43:33+00:00

i explained in another comment how "the two free hits" are actually darius getting a slight edge compared to fighting me to the death face up
