Introduction
Now I can't really say that I'm the best Shyvana out there, considering she just came out. But I feel like I do exceptionally well with her every game with the build that I have created so I figured, hey why not make a guide. Shyvana has many possibilities. I like to take mid(lol)if allowed, if not I take solo top if they have a jungle. I sometimes also might jungle Shyvana.Btw this is my first guide and I will try to make it as detailed as possible to get the most of the champ Shyvana.

Pros
- Excellent farmer
- Very good ganker, Can use
Burnout for high mobility
- Can easily gap close or get away with
Burnout or her ultimate
Dragon's Descent
- High burst damage
- Not to bad of an initiator
Cons
- Early game can be difficult until you get
Madred's Razors or level up
Burnout
- No CC(Her ultimate
Dragon's Descent knocks back all enemies caught in the skillshot)

My personal choice is the standard 21/0/9 build
With obvious points in
Cripple for the extra exhaust buff, and
Utility Mastery
for the increased 15% duration of buffs, red, blue, barron.
I also took
Archaic Knowledge
which can be iffy but her Ultimate and her E move both are magic damage so not a huge benefit but it definitely helps.

I also took

9 Mark of Desolation because AD Pen is the way to go in my opinion, cuts through creeps/towers/tankier champions. You can take attack speed marks also, but I have benefited more from AD Pen
9
Greater Seal of Armor Armor really helps her squishyness early game so these seals are a great choice.
9
Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction CDR on Shyvana is amazing. All her abilities have short CDs to begin with. And all of her burst comes from her abilites so you want to max out at 40% asap, and these glyphs help you get there faster.
3 Greater Quintessence of Desolation Back to armor pen. I like all my ad champions to have a high amount of armor pen and this is what I've always found to work best. You can experiment with different quints but these are my go to runes.

Can easily mix it up a bit. Really just depends on the situation.
Flame Breath -->
Burnout -->
Twin Bite -->
Dragon's Descent(Only if necessary to pick up the kill or if they might get away)
If you're straight up in the fight already go ahead and throw Flame Breath for the awesome armor debuff and then follow up with the skill sequence.
However if you need to catch your opponent, you might have to lead with Burnout

I start out with
Cloth Armor and 3
Health Potion even though I am not jungling, they're are some alternatives such as
Doran's Blade but I like the tankier early game. This helps especially if you're solo top.
I then take
Madred's Razors for the easier creep farming. Remember that your
Twin Bite also applies to the proc of
Madred's Razors.
Afterwords I grab
Boots for that increase in mobility and quickly farm for
Wriggle's Lantern.
I choose
Ionian Boots of Lucidity over
Berserker's Greaves for the quick CDR.
Trinity Force works exceptionally well on Shyvana because you're constantly spamming abilities. I grab
Sheen first for the damage proc and
Phage right after. You can buy
Zeal next or just save up to buy
Trinity Force straight out. But this is a must have.
Now I need to get that extra CDR so
The Brutalizer is a pretty solid choice, I complete the item by buying
Youmuu's Ghostblade which adds even more CDR and some armor pen with a cool active ability. I put this at number 1 slot and use it every time I fight. Don't forget because it will help you.
I took
Sunfire Aegis becasue it stacks rather well with
Burnout and the little AoE damage helps. Plus it also gives 45 armor and 450 hp increasing Shyvana's survival.
For your last item you have a some choices. Depending on the enemy team composition, and your playstyle. You can either get the
Guardian Angel for the extra armor/MR/ and hp with the revive spell. You could get a
Banshee's Veil if their team has a lot of CC or AP. You could even go a bit more burst damage with a
Black Cleaver etc. The choice is yours :)
Quick note: After you have a full build you can swap out
Wriggle's Lantern for a
Bloodthirster. you lose some surivability, but you gain extra lifesteal and AD.

Team fighting is basically the game winning thing to do in League of Legends. Shyvana is a good initiator but I normally try to let my tank do it. Because you will be able to pick up a few more kills then usual and get away alive if you do not go in first. Although Shyvana has great AoE capabilities and is amazing to have in a teamfight if you utilize all of your abilites.
If an ally is being ganked you can always try to save his life with your ultimate Dragon's Descent. You knock all enemies back that are caught in the skillshot.
