Starting Items




Buying
Madred's Razors will instantaneously increase your jungle speed with a little bit of luck, your
Twin Bite will proc with it's unique passive to deal 300 magic damage to kill camp leaders with one or two shots. Also the armor added will help reduce the damage taken and keep you alive in your jungle for longer.


This item will build into either your
Wriggle's Lantern or a
Blade of the Ruined King which are two essential items for
Shyvana as a jungler. Which will also keep you alive longer and allow you to sustain in battles and in the jungle.

Role
• If you're the only tanky person on your team, it will be expected of you to peel and initiate in teamfights. Although

• It all comes down to whether how well you are doing in-game to be tanking and/or to be the disrupter and damager.
Shyvana will always be playing a huge part in teamfights, solely on the reason being that she is a very team oriented champion and depends a lot on the compatibility the team's effort to work together.
Route 1

To explain the picture above:
1. Learn

2. *Potion*



3. *Potion* You can either go safely into your Blue buff and gank afterwards or


4. *Potion* Gank Lanes, your Red Buff would have refreshed.
5. Continue jungling and level up to keep up with lanes, and gank top lane if needed.
I'd recommend taking this route whenever jungling against a:
☺
Amumu
☺
Fiddlesticks
☺
Jarvan IV
☺
Warwick
☺

☺

These will most likely take the Wolves>Blue>Wraiths>Red approach when jungling and will be pretty low health or close to when trying to battle Red. While you wait in brush, you can either




Caution:
Deciding when and when not to steal enemy jungle is entirely situational and should never be attempted without support or awareness from your team!
Route 2
This approach tends to be slower but safely allows you to get your creep score up quickly while being useful in lane.
Explanation in picture above:
1. Learn

2. *Potion*



3.


4. *Potion* Continue onto Crest of the Ancient Golem Camp, focus Ancient Golem and

5. *Potion* Ganking bot lane would be risky as enemy jungler may meet up with you if they've taken the Blue>Red Jungle Route. Safely gank mid if you see an opportunity.
6. If your health is high enough gank top, if needed, or continue to clear all your camps in top jungle.
Closing Note
For both routes, spawning on Blue side (bottom side), you'll still be able to do the route vice-versa. This only means you'll be focusing Top and Mid much more than you are your ADC Lane. You can also alter the route to your liking and gank after Blessing of the Lizard or start at your Ancient Golems and immediately steal enemy Red.
I wanted to avoid this entire rating system but I already took the time to write most of it out so I just finished it. And I know its long, but I tried to go around the roster and decide who would mainly be picked against
Shyvana.
Here I rated the possible enemy junglers with ★☆☆☆☆ being easy and you're best bet to counter with
Shyvana and ★★★★★ being difficult to counter jungle.
★☆☆☆☆
Amumu- Really easy to counter jungle, weak duelist, and low escapability. You can stick to him with your high mobility but be aware of his ult.
★☆☆☆☆
Fiddlesticks- An easy invade opportunity. He is really slow and on top of that, he's squishy. Go after him after he wastes his drain on a minion or creep.
★★☆☆☆
Jarvan IV- Not the fastest jungler but he is pretty tanky if he's ahead of you in gold. Make use of his lack of jungle speed, try and not to fight him if his health is even with your's. He has escape capabilities and be aware of his Ult when he learns it.
★★☆☆☆
Olaf- He is Fast so make sure you don't overlook his jungle speed. He will be low during most of his jungling which allows counter junglers like
Shyvana to strike. Just wait in a bush and catch him by off his guard, don't have a head-on collision, it won't be pretty.
★★☆☆☆
Riven- She's not very good in the jungle but has pretty decent jungle speed. Just try and steal creeps here and there because you can against her, and you may not be able to kill her but if you ever meet up with her make sure her team isn't MIA.
★★☆☆☆
Warwick- Only thing to be careful about this guy is his Ultimate. Other than that, he has slow jungle speed and will never have all his camps dead at a time. Easy creep stealing and if you engage in a fight, make sure he is low enough for you to burst him.
★★★☆☆
Gangplank- If he has red buff you won't be able to escape unless you flash or Ult. If you fight him, it'll take too long and his team would have caught up to you guys so avoid engaging on him.
★★★☆☆
Udyr- He is really fast at clearing camps but if he is using
Wingborne Storm you'll be able to escape from him. Also, if you fight him 1v1 you'll take too long so just go for his creeps.
★★★★☆
Cho'Gath- Really fast at clearing camps so avoid stealing creeps and invading. If he has
Blessing of the Lizard Elder he'll just slow you and pop you up until his team comes to kill you.
★★★★☆
Lee Sin- If he sees the counter jungling, he'll be a problem. If he's near, don't invade because of his hard slow and only fight him if you are doing good with cs and ganks. Make sure enemy top or mid isn't coming to help him and have your support or mid watch your back when you engage.
★★★★☆
Maokai- Like
Lee Sin, he can clear camps fast and is kinda tanky. You can fight him 1v1 but be sure he doesn't get help from his team. Also, if you decide to invade on your own and you get rooted, you're ****ed. So avoid invading without some back up.
★★★★★
Rammus- Really good at preventing you from stealing his jungle because of his high mobility. Needless to say he's tanky as sh*t so you won't be safe unless you know for sure where he is all the time. Ward up for this guy for invade opportunity and also for his ganks.
★★★★★
Skarner- Hardest jungler against
Shyvana imo. Fast clearing, strong early game, and infinite slows. Plus his Ult will end you if you waste
Flash. Only counter or engage on this guy if you're ahead in gold and doing very well early game.
★★★★★
Trundle- Another fast jungler who is powerful and unkillable. His
Pillar of Ice will really get in your way and buy enough time for enemy reinforcements so avoid invading. Only invade or engage if you are doing very well early game and are high in cs, also make sure enemy team isn't MIA or coming to help.

I didn't want to make a Lane Shyvana Chapter but I already wrote these notes so may as well copy and paste them.
Here are the Top Lane enemy Champs to look out for and who are easy to lane against.
Again, ★☆☆☆☆ for easy laning and ★★★★★ for hardest.
★☆☆☆☆
Garen- He is strong early level but after 4 or 5 your
Burnout will match his
Judgment, also you can attack while spinning and he cannot. Don't get overconfident while his ulti is up.
★☆☆☆☆
Renekton- Buy a
Wriggle's Lantern and you should be fine. Buy
Ninja Tabi and he won't do anymore damage. Out-level and shut him down before he becomes a tanky threat to your carry late game.
★☆☆☆☆
Nasus- Like
Irelia, deny his farm. In my opinion, at level one, just kill him. He won't be able to slow you, nor will his Q have 'any' farm. Especially after patch 3.6 his
Wither wont be as effective anyways.
★☆☆☆☆
Sion- Deny farm, harass. Easy and simple lane to play. Small ganks will shut him down, after that just free farm.
★★☆☆☆
Zed- Pretty good match-up, careful for his level 6 when he goes all in. Buy armor and try to out farm and push him out of lane. Attack back when his moves are on cooldown.
★★☆☆☆
Akali- Your Q will deal equivalent damage to her's and you'll be able to continuously damage her with
Burnout even with her in
Twilight Shroud.
★★☆☆☆
Cho'Gath- He's passive in-lane but pretty tanky, you won't be able to kill him, but neither will he. Just dodge his
Rupture, be aggressive and out farm him until you get a gank.
★★☆☆☆
Darius- Catch him out of his combo, and fight small scrimmages. His
Hemorrhage and
Noxian Guillotine will hurt you more the longer you fight.
★★☆☆☆
Vi- Early games she'll be pretty strong and
Vi does fairly well mid-game, but
Shyvana farms better and has better fights in longer duels with her
Burnout.
★★★☆☆
Fiora- Don't fall behind against her, engage with
Burnout to bait her
Riposte, then activate your
Twin Bite. Care for her level 6.
★★☆☆☆
Galio- Just like
Cho'Gath, farm lane and dodge his Q's. After he burns his Q, run in to harras or go for the kill if you run
Ignite.
★★☆☆☆
Gangplank- DO NOT let him get ahead of you, he will
Parrrley mostly only minions. When it goes on cooldown, harass and/or go for the kill. His passive+
Exhaust+
Cannon Barrage will be deadly so watch out for that.
★★☆☆☆
Irelia- Deny her creep kills,
Shyvana is stronger than
Irelia early game so shut her out and watch out for ganks.
★★☆☆☆
Jarvan IV- He is a bit tankier than
Shyvana. After he jumps to you, his skills are basically on cooldown. Like
Darius, catch him off his combo and destroy him.
★★☆☆☆
Singed- Harass and deny farm. When he comes to
Fling, hit him with everything and that'll set the tone against your lane. Beat him early, don't let his farm get out of hand.
★★☆☆☆
Riven- Pretty even match up. Both will deal equivalent damage, just use
Burnout when she activates
Broken Wings. In my opinion, this lane will come down to the better player.
★★☆☆☆
Kha'Zix- Avoid his W and stay away from your minions when he casts but care for his passive. After level 6 buy health and armor, you should be able to duel.
★★☆☆☆
Lee Sin- Don't fight him when he
Cripple. You can win small trades but don't let him heal up with
Iron Will. Also, fight him under minions, as he will have nothing to jump to.
★★★☆☆
Jax- He has the burst to harass you, but as long as you stay at about half health, you'll be fine. If you duel at low health he will win, but if he wastes his stun then go in and fight.
★★★☆☆
Olaf- Try not to duel at low health, he will attack faster and his
Reckless Swing will finish you. Don't overextend, and wait for level 6+ to trade hits with him.
★★★☆☆
Pantheon- Another harass champ who will be chucking spears all game. Be sure to buy pots or grab
Teleport because he 'will' push you out of lane. Farm as much as possible and kick his *** mid game.
★★★☆☆
Trundle- He has more sustain early game so focus on farm. His ult will take away from your
Dragon's Descent passive, so ask for ganks or harass when you can and stay farmed.
★★★☆☆
Fiora- Don't fall behind against her, engage with
Burnout to bait her
Riposte, then activate your
Twin Bite. Care for her level 6.
★★★☆☆
Wukong- He will definitely win lane if you aren't careful. Play carefully aggressive early game to burn his mana and ask for ganks to shut him out. He won't have any escapability by then.
★★★★☆
Kayle- She'll harass you and there's nothing you can do about it. Just farm with your E and ask for ganks. You shouldn't be playing against
Kayle with
Shyvana anyways.
★★★★☆
Jayce- He will be annoying with his range, if he gets too close, use that advantage and harass, otherwise last hit and hug turret and ask for ganks. You will win duels with him, but he will just knock you back and harass again, so watch out for that.
★★★★☆
Elise- If she misses her
Cocoon and your minions are pushing, harass her. She'll be annoying until you buy some MR, until then wait for ganks.
★★★★★
Yorick- Buy sustain early on and hug turret if you have to. He will out-harass and out-sustain you so ask for ganks and farm as much as you can.
Here are the Top Lane enemy Champs to look out for and who are easy to lane against.
Again, ★☆☆☆☆ for easy laning and ★★★★★ for hardest.
