Shyvana Matchups Overview

Shyvana General information

Shyvana tips and tricks

Shyvana’s build is very versatile. Adjust your build accordingly to what your team needs.

Before initiating any engage in lane or around the map, make sure you check the minimap. You don’t want to fly in and then the enemy Jungler shows up and takes you down.

Try and delay team fights while you poke the enemy with your Flame BreathE in Dragon form. If you’ve gone for AP Shyvana, you can get the enemy really low by poking them down beforehand.
