How it works

  1. You play as Shyvana Bruiser.
  2. Your build is survivability oriented. With some damage and tons of HP and defense.
  3. You auto attack a lot.

How to play

  1. As Shyvana playing Bruiser build - you need to adapt to an enemy team and to the game!
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Adaptation

  1. 👊 If ahead, consider going for more damage items to snowball.
  2. 🏰 If behind, go tanky.
  3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

Scalemail
Scalemail (Passive)

  1. Assists counts toward Scalemail (Passive) stacks. So don't just look for kills, being present in fights pays off.

Emberstrike
Emberstrike (Q)

  1. Emberstrike (Q) is auto attack reset, so try weaving between auto attacks, i.e. AA -> Q -> AA -> Q.
    • This maximizes damage output. It is especially important to push turrets faster.

Inferno Aegis
Inferno Aegis (W)

  1. Inferno Aegis (W) shield scales with number of nearby enemies. For example, it is usually better to use Inferno Aegis (W) after diving into enemy team with Dragon's Descent (R), rather than before.
  2. You can use Inferno Aegis (W) before taking portal or frost-gates. If you time it well, it is gonna expire mid-flight and explode, dealing damage to the enemies on your path during travel. Especially effective, if you are playing AP #champion build!

Molten Burst
Molten Burst (E)

  1. Always fire Molten Burst (E) from fog of war, bushes or at least pretend that you are looking into other direction. This way you can hit enemies more easily.

Dragon's Descent
Dragon's Descent (R)

  1. You are unstoppable during the transformation, you can't be CC out of it anymore and you can use it to counter incoming CC as well.
  2. Aim THROUGH your targets, not at them. Dragon's Descent (R) breathes fire on enemies below and fears as you fly through them.
    • Remember about the angle. Enemies will run away from you after the fear, which means they'll run toward your team if you ult correctly from the right angle. Otherwise, they will run away.
  3. Dragon's Descent (R) is affected by Ultimate Haste - you generate more fury.
  4. Dragon's Descent (R) can work as peel too, not just engage/burst tool. If you have good carry on your team you can consider keeping it for them in fights.
  5. Use the fear to chain your full combo.

Shyvana Combo

  1. R -> (AoE fear) -> empowered E -> Q -> Q -> true damage Q

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.
