An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
Advice to Understand How Shyvana Will Play
Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.
It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.
