How it works

  1. You play as Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
  2. You rush Titanic Hydra.
  3. Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
  4. Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.

Playstyle

  1. 🐉

    Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core item and defines the build.

  2. ⚔️

    Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.

  3. 💪

    Stack HP and adapt to the enemy team - build Armor, MR or shields/sustain as needed.

How to play

  1. This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
  2. How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
  3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  4. A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).

Items

  1. If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!

Adaptation

  1. 👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
  2. 🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
  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.
