Shojin liandrys pta and riftmaker all have a damage multiplier for the fight which stack multiplicatively (1.12*1.08*1.08*1.1 = 1.43x damage most of which amplifies liandrys burn damage as well.

Shojin provides 35 percent cdr good health damage and it multiples ability damage by 12 percent. Do not build any thing else until shojin is complete not t1 boots not a dark seal not anything. The shojin power spike makes you too strong to delay it.

Liandrys is probably the best damage item shyvana can get because she applies it very easily especially in team fights. The nice thing is that every time one of shyvanas dots ticks it applies an extra tick of liandrys damage and refreshes the duration so every time your w ticks or the dragon form e aoe on the ground ticks. This stacks up a lot especially if youre in the middle of multiple people which the juggernaut build allows you to do often.

Sorc shoes are simply the best boots for shyvana. I've tried all of them and you just dont have enough damage in the midgame where you're strongest with any other boots.

Jak'sho gives resistances when you need it the most right after liandrys. Shojin liandrys and sorc shoes give all the damage you really need

Riftmaker adds more damage and potentially some sustain in fights.

Steraks gage benefits from all of the other items that gave hp and the shield gives time for you to regain health via riftmaker passive so in some situations it could nearly triple your durability (base life + steraks shield of 80 percent bonus health + all of the health restored during those 4.5 seconds of shield via riftmaker aoe healing).

Noteable items:

Frozen heart - can stack up the passives of liandrys, riftmaker, and jak' sho from 700 units away

horizon focus - damage amp similar to rabadons in a lower ap build

cryptbloom - its just better than void staff

titanic hydra - aoe damage and auto reset could let you delete entire teams if they dont have cc and burst as your last item

Either

start W Raptors > wolves > gromp > blue > krugs/red > red/krugs > optionally scuttle > raptors > wolves gromp > take dragon/rift you will be level 5 here so you are usually stronger than the enemy jungler who is usually level 4 here.

Alternative:

start e wolves > raptors > krugs > red > blue > gromp > optinally scuttle > wolves > raptors > krugs > contest krugs/dragon

often i do the second buff last so that i can ward the nearby bush to check for invades while i kill the second to last camp

Many people will say to start the top side camp first so u can be at dragon at lvl 5 when dragon spawns. However it's often overly contested so if you instead start on the bottom side you can usually get the dragon side scuttle then finish your second clear reset buy and be near dragon before anyone seriously considers taking it. Trying to sneak dragon at spawn usually gets you countered by competent opponents.

Q is an auto attack reset.

During early ganks don't lead with e while in human form, walk up to them and auto see how they react then throw ur e into an auto q auto. The less distance there is between you and the enemy the less likely you are to miss.

Between auto attacks make sure you orb walk with them, shyvanas weakness is being kited. However this tip is less applicable for AP Shyvana.

There is a setting in game to change your left click to attack move and another setting to make it attack move on cursor this helps significantly with orb walking/kiting. Consider turning off movement with the map if you use this.

If you often get tilted there is a check box which will remove allied chat and/or all chat in the in game settings. /mute all is another temporary option you can use if you just dont want to listen for that one game.

Survival and maintaining a high pace are the cornerstones of a successful shyvana.

Win Condition will often be dragon soul for shyvana. Each dragon shyvana takes is 120 gold worth of free stats for her due to her passive.

Giving up the first dragon to secure an experience/jungling pace lead is a viable strategy despite most people always talking about how she can do early dragons. Most enemy junglers know this and will constantly keep vision to try to prevent this anyways and if you get caught it resets your momentum.

If you're being counter jungled place a redward in the bushes at your jugle entrance and consider switching to yellow trinket as well. Yellow/blue trinket is more valuable when you're behind and red trinket is more valuable when you're ahead.

Think about yourself as a ball rolling down a hill steadly gaining momentum. This is you when you are jungling as shyvana. Every time you die you lose significant amounts of that momentum but the longer you're alive the harder that ball is going to hit when it lands.

Levels through gaining experience are more valuable than items gained through gold. Soak experience but don't take punishment for gold.
