Nice guide, really, your main build is essentially the one I use on most of my off-tanks( Nasus, Renekton, Irelia, Wukong, Riven, Poppy). All of the items with one exception: Sunfire Aegis. I know a lot of people think it complements Burnout really well, but in fact it's so low you can very much live without it. Believe me, I tried it extensively. It's still a good items because it gives both armor and HP and overall awesome survivability, but really, because of the passive on her ultimate Shyvana can most definitely do with just Atma's Impaler. Instead you should buy an item which grants but loads of HP to greatly increase the effectiveness of Atma's Impaler. First choice would obviously be Warmog's Armor, because it grants the most, but for soemone as kiteable as Shyvana I'd go as far as to recommend Frozen Mallet even though you have Trinity Force. I know people don't like this combo and think it's a waste of money, but really, it works very, very well(I tried it on Wukong) because Trinity Force procs that slow relatively rarely, and having a guaranteed one means no one will escape you, EVER. And you still get the Sheen effect, I think that's a pretty good deal.

If you're wondering why I don't use this on Shyvana too, the reason is her basic attack speed is very low, compared to all those others I enlisted(smaller than Riven's, for God's sake). And she's the one who benefits most from having high attack speed. For this reason I opted for a build which grants a staggering 110% bonus ATS, since with just 70%( Wit's End + Trinity Force), her attack speed doesn't even go over 1.5, something which I personally cannot live with.

P.S. For the prick who said Shyvana doesn't need life-steal: ******** it, aren't YOU an idiot? There is NO champion that uses basic attacks and has high attack speed on which you shouldn't build life-steal, NONE whatsoever(even Teemo), so GTFO, you noob.

Wow biggest bull I ever heard. Not only is lifesteal needed 2 jungle efficient but also required 2 fight against ppl who have it .... Think this trough really your making a fool out of yourself. Plus considering your description on how 2 play shyvanna it seems you do believe she´s a tank. But if your not doing sufficient damage they just wont focus you.

Sorry dude I have to vote this down... I personally hate people who think Lifesteal on Shyvana is a good idea... One of the key goals of Shyvana is fighting hard and soaking damage so many people think lifesteal is a must. Shyvana needs Attack Speed, AD, HP, and instead of lifesteal, HP regen. With lifesteal your sacrificing a lot of defensive items... Sorry dude..

FUS RO DAH!

K check out tha kewl sig u made me!

6 Seconds basic CD -40% is 3.6 sec, so your spamming every 1.5 second is far from being truth.

Great build, and pretty good guide. Be sure to check out my guide I recently created for Shyvana.
Respect and much love for all Shyvana players out there.

that sheen proc is nice... with CDR 40% I spam Twin Bite every 1-1.5 seconds so that would increase damage output a ton. oh and I do realise that the item ability takes 2 secons to cool down but that just means its will be spammed as often as possible =D this is why I like these guides/forum bits.... never thought of tri-force and CDR items together till just then =D

and all good =P sarcasm, exaggeration... either way doesn't really come across when typing =P no tone of voice lol

Wait, that wasn't sarcasm. that was exaggeration. LOL

AH CHERNOBYL I WAS BEING SARCASTIC GOSSSHHHH LOL

I like trinity more then frozen mallet. 100% slow isn't needed, haha, I like the sheen proc and movement speed buff from zeal also.

I prefer flash to ghost on shyvana, because shyvana is already a fast dragon, and flash opens up a lot more combos. the "running through other things" is not needed if you just play different before you get caught in them, if that makes any sense.
Sorry, I don't play tryndamere so I don't know if my critique would be the best.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Keep em coming :)

A few things.

Firstly great guide =D

I agree with A Chubby Baby.. Frozen Mallet on Shyvana is awesome. But where as you like a little of a lot of stats (tri-force) I like a lot of a few stats.


not right... cooldown is 12 seconds and it gets an extra 6 seconds for a total of 9 seconds. you have 3 seconds without it...which can be a matter of life or death in some situations. I like CDR for this but each to their own =D

+1 =D

Check out my Shyvana guide and let me know what you think =D i don't jungle so it's a bit different =D
