tried this build out in the jungle, i hate laning, and its dumb since you can proc sundered sky and titanic hydra twice with Q XD

I hope Riot only visually updates Shyvana. The dragon form looks atrocious lmao, but I just fell in love with her kit!

With Riot changing Cosmic Drive next patch - removing the hp and giving more ap, would you start incorporating it into your build?

Great freaking guide.

You can update the guide now

gunblade no longer exists :(

Hi! I'm picking up Shyvana again ever since she was my first champion in season 4. I feel super nostalgic to play her again like I used to a lot back in the time and I've tried playing her top with sucess. (AD build though) I also LOVE going off-meta. My favorite pick is Kindred mid/adc(top even) with over 800k mastery points. But since I wanna go back to my roots with Shyvana and try and make her Mastery 7, I'm looking all over to find a good build for her.:)

I really enjoy your guide, though I have yet to try it. (Sometimes I prefer to listen to people who make such guides, OVER the proplay in probuilds for example, because people like you crunched more of the numbers most of the time~)
Either way, I'm eager to try hextech gunblade (since it seems to be your most to-go build?), but I've got some questions:
How do you actually sustain early on towards level 6. Because I've played Kog'maw mid to death for years as well, and the only sustain I have is his E for waveclear thankfully, until level 6 (Similar to Shyvana, he also gets poked down until 6). But since Shyvana doesn't have such waveclear as Kog'maw's E...I just wonder how you do it without a bit of help from Luden's Echo first...

Also because I'd like to go for the onhit/attack build to sustain Dragon form. (Gunblade, nashors's tooth, etc) but at the same time It feels like it will lack a lot of CDR so you're going to feel that... Because most of the items I build on Shyvana almost always have CDR in it. So here's a bit of my dilemma (and I could be wrong; by all means, I did not crunch the numbers!):
Would it be more viable to go gunblade first most of the time (basically your split-push build) OR your Luden's echo path (heavy E damage).

Then again, I have to play it a few times myself to figure out which fits the most for me personally, but I'm just a little scared early game that I will not have enough waveclear/cdr. And later not enough onhit/attack power if I get Luden's instead.
(A lot to read, sorry! I'm just really excited for this. I want her to replace my spammed Kog'maw mid because I really miss playing Shyvana)

So I played against a Shyvana mid in ranked the other day and while we won, she did VERY well. So I was morbidly curious and looked up guides and tried her yesterday using yours. WOW, I am addicted! This is the most fun I've had in the mid lane in a long time!! Thanks for this!

Hey man great work! I have an different idea on the Keystone selection. Can you check it out and give me some feedback? https://loldata.info/champion-guide/ap-shyvana/ Thanks!

@ Veralion , Is the R->Flash combo possible? Does it help landing the ult by almost supressing the enemy's reaction time (like lee sin's or annie's R->flash combos) ? I'm asking because when I tried it in the practice tool, it seemed bugged.

Hi! I'm adoring this guide and absolutely destroying using your guide, Shyvana mid is criminally underrated. However, I'm not really enjoying the stalker's blade/smite deal. Do you have any recommendations for replacing those? Thank you so much! <3
