Guide to Synergizing Nocturne and Shyvana

Tips for Playing as Nocturne with Shyvana

Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.

Using Paranoia at a critical moment is well worth it even if you cannot use the dash.

Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.

Advice to Understand How Shyvana Will Play

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.

Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.
