Track: Sivir's E — Spell Shield (24–18s cooldown). Eats your key spell and refunds her mana — bait it with a cheap cast first.
Read from Draven's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sivir.
This is Draven's own plan; across 4,636 pooled games the lane is leaning Draven.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Draven | Draven's axe auto-damage overwhelms Sivir's weak level-1 stats. |
| Level 2 | Draven | At level 2 your trade pattern still beats her passive laning. |
| Level 3 | Draven | Level 3 your two-axe burst punishes any Q step-up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Draven | Through 4-5 you out-damage her every time Spell Shield is down. |
| Level 6 | Draven | Level 6 your ult plus support engage out-kills her lack of self-peel. |
| First item | Draven | At first item your attack speed shreds her before Ricochet matters. |
| Two+ items | Sivir | At two-plus items her On the Hunt, Ricochet, and Spell Shield flip the fight to Sivir. |
You dominate levels 1-2: Draven's Spinning Axe auto-damage crushes Sivir's weak base stats and she has no way to trade back if you catch axes and step up behind the minion wave. Her Spell Shield swallows Stand Aside, so lead with the axe and the auto and hold the knock-aside until after it pops. Early on she waits twenty-four seconds for the next one. Ricochet is expensive this early too, so a shoved wave drains the mana her poke pattern depends on.
