More Gameplay Tips for Shyvana Players

Tips and Tricks

Dragon's Descent is a must when initiating team fights. Make sure you have 100 fury to activate it and turn into dragon form.

Shyvana dishes out a ton of damage but needs CC from allies to land everything.

You can also purchase items that slow enemies so that you can land your abilities.

Additional Shyvana Build Insights

LoL Shyvana players could find her to be a confusing champion to build out properly. You will find that her build varies when she is up against either generic or highly focused team comps, meaning you should not select the same Shyvana build every single game of League of Legends

The most essential items to include in your champ's build include: Trinity Force, Spear Of Shojin, and Titanic Hydra. Those who included these items in their kits had a better win rate than those who went for other item builds for Shyvana. Likewise, if you are battling a mixed enemy team comp, you should strongly consider getting yourself the Precision, and Inspiration runes. In recent games, she won the largest fraction of her matches when built with these runes.

We established our Shyvana build guidance by analyzing 87,136 recently ranked League matches with her in them. We only recommend the best winrate Shyvana builds that were used by ranked players enough times for us to reccomend them. With so many games in our data, we are very confident in our recommended builds.
