Introduction
Welcome to my guide for Tank Shyvana Support. I hope that after reading through this guide you'll have a better understanding of how to build and play the tanky lizard more! Shyvana Support is very uncommon, but if you learn how to play her effectively, you will win a lot of games.
I am FFHK, and I am a player from wood ELO that has been playing Shyvana Support for quite a while now. I think I currently have a 75% winrate on this, but I'm not sure what it is at the moment. If you need help with this build, message me on Discord: FFHK!#8339.

Start and Early Laning
In the early Laning phase, your primary goal is to poke the enemies down with E and to focus on staying alive. Playing around your jungler is especially important as Shyvana, because you need to follow up on ganks. Clear wards by using control wards and the oracle lens (after finishing the Support item) and use zombie ward to increase your vision control.
When the dragon is up, it is your job to help your jungler secure vision around it and to defeat it. You are a jungler by trade, so use Shyvana's bonus damage against dragons and burst it when you know the enemy jungler is dead or near the top lane. Also, for the love of god, use the Oracle Lens on the pit if you don't already have a control ward in place.
Especially with Mountain Dragons, objectives are the most important part of Shyvana Support. She gains Armour and Magic resist for every dragon her team kills, so use that to your advantage when building Tank. Later on in the game, you can solo dragon when the enemy jungler is away. Do so if you can do it safely.

Mid-game
After you have hit level 6, the most important thing is to keep damaging the enemies with your E. When they are low, try to finish them off from long distances with your E. Long-range tower snipes are the easiest way to get ahead, and the mere threat of them is enough to send your enemies back to their inner turret.
Tank Shyvana excels at teamfighting. If you are in an even teamfight, just fly in and roll your face across the keyboard. If you can afford to, initiate the fight behind the frontline, send out an E into a group of enemies, and then charge forward with W and Q. Focus down ADCs because you can kill them with one or two Es from long range. Afer you have Gargoyle, use it when diving in.
You are both an artillery mage and a peel tank as far as teamfights go, so reposition when needed. Continue focusing junglers and ADCs and maintain objective vision around this time. As Shyvana, you need to keep getting dragons. You are also great at stealing objectives due to your high burst. I've gotten solo quadra kills on dragon before where I've just shot a few Es in from off-screen and burst them down.

Late Game
Continue getting objectives and stay with your ADC and possibly your jungler until you can end. As with every other stage of the game, keep vision up on important areas. Make sure to always have your ult up when you think you'll need it. Shyvana is useless in this stage of the game without it. Just clear wards and auto attack minion waves and invade the enemy jungle (with a teammate or two) to do so.
