we need you , wake up and update your guide pls

where are you

do you think which one better at late game, trinity force or wit's end ?

Sup Spike. There's a mistake in Gank and Tank build's notes, saying that we should take Visage instead of BotRK, but there's apparently no BotRK in this build.

Hi, Spike! It is me again. I was wondering: What do you think about the new on ? I seriously thought about it and used it as a third item, after and jg item and found it really good, specially for counter-jungling. What are your thoughts about it?? :D

(7) |

Informative guide, thanks. It covers just about anything a new Shvana player needs to know

how come you start w? I went in practice tool and found that e does more damage. Is this outdated? because Im pretty sure I read that you went w because celerity gave you more damage, so im guessing that this was before celerity was nerfed. Also do you have an op.gg I can follow?

Hello, Spyke. I am ~~your stalker~~ a fan of your work and I've been playing a lot with . Acording to you we could take drake already at level 4, though it was risky because we would be really low and could die should the enemy come. However, I tried jg after those changes in the jungle at patch 9.23 and I was astonished at how fast was growing. Before I would need to take red-blue-gromp and 2 mini wolves to get lvl 3, now I don't even need the wolves and, to make thing more interesting, just farming I managed to be 2 levels ahead of an enemy . To make it even better, taking the first drake, an that was supposed to be the hardest to take, was astonishingly easy and fast at lvl 5. I wonder if it would be that easy lvl 4, but given at how fast evolved just by farming (and taking the enemy chickens), is way easy to take 5 before going drake.

Now with those changes in the jungle, don't you think that was somewhat an indirectly great buff for a champion that take Dragons with ease such as Shyvana?

Hello :) Yes, I think the pre-Season 10 changes mean that Shyvana is 'back'! The main thing is the changes to jungle XP and camp spawning timers, so that being a good jungle farmer is now actually rewarded. Taking enemy chickens is a good strategy, someone like Rengar is always going to leave those at levels 1-2 because he takes them so slow.

Either level 4 or level 5 for first drake seems good to me, Shyvana can do it at either level if she went back already (for example, + + should do it fast and safe). The exact timing of going there in a game is obviously going to depend on your vision, your knowledge of where the enemy jungler is, and whether your bot lane has lane priority. So I should say in the guide that Shyvana is "looking" to take first drake any time from level 4 onwards.

I have aimed to update the guide for Pre-Season 10 fully when the pre-season started on 20 November but there's probably parts that are still out-of-date, if you spot anything specific please do let me know. I also plan to update some of the videos shown, but need to find good current examples of Shyvana play - if anyone wants to suggest a good Shyvana video in comments, please do!

I also think that you are right. They lowered hp of the dragons and the game is more based on dragons. This is indirectly a shyvana buff. The only con is cloud drake is useless.

yeah, only good for her passive, though the dragon soul do help on move speed and increase her DPS after ult for a while.

Not gonna lie, this is the longest guide I ever read. However, this has basically everything a shyvanna player could ask for. I think we will see more of her in season 10 due to the massive dragon changes. AP nuke shyvanna is going to be nuts when those changes hit the live servers.

(1) |

not gonna lie but people prefer to play shyvana as an AP jungler now instead of AD but i've seen her hybrid

(16) |

Yes AP Shyvana is a lot of fun.

did shyvana strong at late game ? , and what should i do with her ?

(16) |

Late game Shyvana wants to tank up, you can even sell items and switch to a full tank build.

(1) |

Ok so with the scuttle crab rework I cannot seem to have a healthy farm. I used to use scuttle to heal back up but since it spawns later im not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

(16) |

Shyvana shouldn't need to heal up if you keep in motion around the jungle camps - kite them slightly, let the Krugs block each other a bit, and you should take less damage.

You can also back early - as soon as you have 350 gold - get a Hunter's Talisman and then you can stay healthy in the jungle for a long time.

For the "High Damage Carry" build, when you say to rush BOTRK, do you mean literally go BOTRK before tiamat or bloodrazor? Or do you just mean to buy a BOTRK before any tank items?

(16) |

hey, sorry delayed reply due to vacation.

I mean go Bloodrazor and boots first, then BOTRK, then Tiamat and your other items. Bloodrazor + BOTRK gives you very high single target damage with the item active as well, very strong while the game is still in the laning phase. The lifesteal means you should be able to go into each fight on full health, too.

Playstyle if you built like this: like an assassin, look to kill enemy champions over and over. Figure out which one or two opponents you can most easily kill and just go after them. Normally you can duel the enemy jungler very easily with this build.

It works best if you are ahead, so that you can rely on your level advantage for defences, and the fact that your opponents don't yet have gold for their items.

Once the game reaches the team fights stage, you will still need defences of course - especially as the enemy team will be looking to take you down to get that sweet +950 gold (or whatever you are worth...)

No problem! I've been using that final build a lot recently (though it looks like I've been doing the order wrong) and I love how strong it feels. I've started calling it "Shyvsassin" because it really plays more like a somewhat tanky assassin rather than a bruiser. Really been loving experimenting with these builds as well. I'll try your build order next time, thanks for the tip!

It might help to think of Shyvana as a bit like Master Yi :)

Similarities:

high damage melee champion with no CC abilities
double hit on every third or fourth attack, so benefits from an on-hit build
two gap-closer / escape abilities
minor, long cooldown wall-hop (Yi can use Q to Gromp or other jungle camps, Shyvana can ulti over a wall)
on-hit damage buff
most damage comes from basic attacks enhanced by on-hit effects
fast clears
good objective control
some tankiness (Yi can use Meditate to absorb a lot of damage)

The main difference is that Yi can dodge spells using his Q.

These two champions are more similar than most people realise (though I have heard pro Youtubers describing Shyvana as like a tankier version of Master Yi - I can't find that video right now).

Shyvana can perfectly easily follow a Master Yi build, and vice versa.

Bizarrely, I think that if built identically to Master Yi, Shyvana might actually do more damage - her regular auto-attack reset from Q gives her an advantage, and she gets damage from W, E and R - and Yi might actually be tankier - his Q and W used correctly allow a lot of incoming damage to be dodged.
