How it works

General

  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Stormsurge.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Shyvana build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can use Burnout (W) before taking portal (frost-gate). You will be damaging everyone on your path during travel. Especially effective, if you are playing AP #champion build!

Riot

  1. Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.
  2. Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.
  3. Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.
  4. It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.
