Been playing a lot of shyvana lately. She’s pretty fun

Yesterday I had a game slip between my fingers for multiple reasons. One of them being a K'Sante who went full armor items into our comp, which did make complete sense.

What do I build on Shyvana to kill such a creature?

Given that her Q passive does %max health dmg and that her autos refund her Q CD, isn't alacrity more effective than legend haste?

I started playing Shyvana once I was hard stuck gold and got to P4 with a 54% win rate!

Any tips to climb higher would be appreciated

I wouldn't call myself a shyvana player, I'm just now picking her up, but her build variety really appeals to me a lot; theorycrafting has always been a huge passion of mine in pretty much every game in which builds exist.

After reading a bit about her abilities, the fact her rage build-up is increased 1 to 1 relative to Ultimate Haste, and having very often heard how her human form is her weakest aspect, made me really want to know how Experimental Hexplate performs, and where it'd fit best in a build as to not miss out on too much early game power whilst still playing around it when it matters most: early~mid-game.

At first I considered building it as a first item, since it still gives plenty of attackspeed and ad, and the health would help smooth out her early-game somewhat, but that would probably slow down her tempo by a lot compared to Trinity Force or Kraken Slayer.

Now, I'm considering Shojin as a first item, into Hexplate second, and possibly Riftmaker third for stacking the % damage increases.

What do you think? First or second? Maybe I should run Trinity first, into Hexplate instead? Or would the stacking bonuses be worth more?

(I do not expect this to be the meta for Shyvana. If it were to be, it probably would be that already. This just sounds at least viable, and interesting to try out.)

Also, off-topic, but when is Shyvana not a good pick? Played against Teemo, TF, Nilah and Pantheon earlier and I felt really powerless to ever engage or even counter-engage when they could just stun me or take away like all my damage with blind and Nilah W.

Hi non main here,

I swear right after the rework the max order was Q>E>W, I tried reading thru the patch notes and didn't really understand which specific change caused her to max W 2nd. Was it the loss of the bonus AD ratio?

Its Mayhem but god I wish we still had the shyvana from release where her AD builds weren't as nerfed

Hey guys! I just recently started maining Shyvanna (after being a fiddle main for few years) and she is amazing!

I had a hard time finding a champ I would like as much as I do Fiddle, and this one it is!

I'm still not sure about builds tho. I see a lot of players going for completely different items.

And not much guides on yt talking about build options (or already outdated, items get change a lot).

From what I have understood, there are basically 4 types to build her

1) Bruiser

2) AP

3) On-hit (kraken, dask and dawn etc)

4) Tank-ish

Or mix

So far I have tried mostly bruiser build and it seems to be reliable into most maches.

Tried on-hit once. It was fun, the Q reset is insane and it's probably best build for 1v1 fights.

Teamfights are harder tho, you get stun lock and delete much easier.

Didn't yet try ap or tank

So what are the options to build here? What are pros and cons of different builds?

And which build excel into what comp? (Both of enemy and ally)

Any tips will be really helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Is she a good champ to pick up for auto fill jg and maybe top games? I am kata otp but sadly she cant be flexed jg and her top lane matchups are not the greatest. This champ looks fun and her true dmg on ult is nasty. What is she good at and what should I ban if I play her?

I'm not getting boneclaw at full price LMAOOOOO

I know I didn't play great in some but my whole team is feeding it feels. I was B2 matching with golds and they were worse than me???

I practiced and learned so much so quickly it really threw me through a loop. What I learned about shyv in lane is critical, like how pta is no question the required rune for 90% of cases no matter what lane you're in.

Runes:

Ultimate haste is critical, although when you need it is up to your lane opponent and the game state.

All builds use PTA > Triumph > legend:haste > cut down with different secondary

Hexplate > Trinity with ult hunter for when you're against a ranged matchup or a matchup when you will perma lose unless you ult them

Trinity > hexplate with ult hunter in cases when you're stronger then the opponent and can outtrade them without ult, trinity is higher damage early so its better to abuse this.

Other viable options: Trinity > Shojan with ult hunter if you're against a scaling matchup where laning is not a deciding factor of the game.

Trinity > Shojan with Unflinching + shield bash if you're against any longer then 2s cc scaling/hyper carry champ like chogath/k'sante/renekton/riven

I (a newbie) challenged myself to get an S Rank game the only way I knew how, with Dragon champions only. Shyvana Jungler was the first I did back in May.

I always wanted to make something so that the Shyvmain community has more to work with and we all become better players together. <3

I'm a plat shyvana player and wanted to ask why hexplate isnt built second over shojin. Seems way more gold efficient, and I thought the on release hexplate hype was because of the broken ult haste.

Please ignore my overall win rate as I did a lot of testing champs and tanked my MMR. Would be happy to give anyone else looking to escape that shithole some advice if I can.

I was curious what other counters exist to shyvana jungle outside of sylas. I’ve heard Udyr is good. I was also thinking maybe Olaf could be decent. Yi doesn’t sound bad, you can dodge her fear with Q then just AA her to death. Similar with tryndamere. What do you guys think?

Which better

I asked for some help the other day, and thanks to the community had the courage to give TF another try. I think I can see the vision now, and may have found a place that I prefer it over kraken.

Thanks for the help everyone!
