Shyvana vs Skarner Counter Pick

Matching 150 attack range is a rare starting point, and it means the jungle matchup is decided by what happens after first contact rather than by who touches the other first. Shyvana holds 56.0% over 266 games on patch 16.13.1.

Skarner’s threat is Impale, a suppression that drags its victims along as he moves, usually set up by Ixtal’s Impact, which passes through terrain and slams a champion or large monster into the next wall. Threads of Vibration adds maximum-health magic damage once Quaking reaches full stacks, and against a 2,240 health frame that scales less than it does on heavier targets. His damage is mixed, so armor alone will not answer it, though 33 base armor and 109.5 at level 18 leave him only marginally sturdier than her 35 and 103.

Her edge is mobility and resource economy: 350 movement speed to 335, Fury instead of mana, and Inferno Aegis handing out movement speed with its shield. Dragon’s Descent leaps forward and causes enemies along the path to flee, which is a direct answer to a Skarner walking a suppressed ally toward his team. Emberstrike gains an extra recast in Dragon Form, so a fight fought beside walls still favors the champion able to leave them. Full kits: Shyvana and Skarner.
