Cons

-Gets focused if the enemy team is smart about who to focus
-Is probably going to get nerfed soon
-Only gap closer is a speed buff and Dragon's Descent
-Most likely will be the victim of harrasment
-If enemies don't cluster, it is harder for you to hit multiple enemys at once
-Everybody can see if your ultimate is on cooldown

Masteries

Mastery Explanations
Shyvana some extra utility. Feel free to change the masteries if you wish, but I use these nearly every match and I know that they work. You could possibly go 9/0/21 to let Flash come off of cooldown faster, but I don't think that it is necessary.

Runes

Runes

[greater quintescence of malice]This will help you win those early brawls. It is very important that you show your opponet that you arn't intimidated by them. Be agressive.
[greater mark of malice]This is for the same reason that you Quints of Malice. If you get that little extra crit chance, you'll most likely win any brawl.
[greater glyph of warding]Get these so when there is an AP champion in your lane, their harrasment isn't as lethal.
[greater seal of resilience]Use these for when ranged AD characters are in your lane. If you have that extra bit of armor, it will help you win battles against them and it would also help you zone them out of range of experience and gold.

Summoner Spells

Viable Summoner Spells

Flash: a very helpful Get Out of Jail Free card

Ignite: Used to win those 1v1 battles.

Ghost: used to run from or chase enemies, but I like better. It's your choice though.

Skill Explanation

Ability Explanation

Fury of the Dragonborn: This passive allows Shyvana to have reduced cooldowns, have a longer duration of Burnout, deal 15% extra ability damage to unmarked targets with Flame Breath, and gain fury when you attack while Dragon's Descent is active. All in all, this is a great passive.
Twin Bite: This skill allows you to have that extra kick in 1v1 fights. You can also hit multiple enemies in Dragon Form, making it more effective.
Burnout: Burnout is (in my opinion) Shyvana best ability. It's like Garen spin, but it lasts longer, Shyvana can attack and cast other abilities while this is active, and in Dragon Form, it scorches the ground wherever you walk.
Flame Breath: Flame Breath can be fired in one direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy unit hit. Whatever unit was hit, Shyvana deals extra magic damage to the marked target. In Dragon Form, it shoots out three of these, much like Graves ability, and marks all units hit.
Dragon's Descent: Shyana transforms herself into a dragon, soaring to target location. It has about the same distance as Flash and can go through walls. All units hit are dealt magic damage.
Use this in teamfights, since it maximizes your AOE potential.

Items

Items

: With Bloodthirster, you will be a 1v1 queen and dish out huge damage in team fights.
: This is just the cherry on top. Banshee's Veil gives you extra health, magic resistence, and it blocks one negative spell every 45 seconds. That one spell block could be the difference between life and death.

Farming

Farming

Your job in lane is to be aggresive, zoning out the enemy champion whenever possible. Just try to focus on balancing last hitting minions and harrasing the enemy champion.

Teamfights

Your job in team fights is to hit as many people as you can with all of your skills. is a good skill to initiate with. After you or one of your teamates initiate, run in with , making sure to auto attack to keep it going. Next, fall back a little bit, running in and out, shredding the enemy team.

Jungling

Jungling

has one of the fastest jungle clearing times in the game. Althought her ganks or sub-par, she deals a whole lot of damage. You would want to be able to deal more damage now, so that is why I take . Your job is to shred the ENTIRE enemy team. Even the tanks. The best route for jungle is to go: Wraiths, wolves, golems, Ancient Lizard (red buff), and then start ganking, stealing the enemy's jungle, or keep killing in your jungle. Let whoever needs the blue buff have it. Blue buff is almost useless on .

Summary

Summary

Have fun wrecking faces with a champion with insane AOE damage!
