Shyvana's Abilities

Dragonborn Shyvana's Passive

Self

Shyvana deals 20% bonus physical and magic damage to Dragons.

Additionally, Shyvana starts with 5 bonus armor and 5 bonus magic resistance, which is permanently increased by 5 for every elemental drake (Cloud Drake, Infernal Drake, Mountain Drake, and Ocean Drake) and also Elder Dragons that her team slays.

Twin Bite Shyvana's Q Ability

Self

9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5

Shyvana's next basic attack within 6 seconds deals 100% AD (+25% of ability power) and causes her to strike again after 0.25 seconds, dealing 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80% AD (+15% of ability power) bonus physical damage.

The second strike applies on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness and is affected by critical strike modifiers. Shyvana's basic attacks reduce Twin Bite's cooldown by 0.5 seconds on-hit. Twin Bite resets Shyvana's basic attack timer.

Dragon Form: Shyvana instantly attacks all enemies in a cone around her target before applying Twin Bite's effects to each of them. The basic attacks deal 100% AD (+25% of ability power) physical damage, are affected by critical strike modifiers, and apply on-hit effects to each target hit. The second strike cannot critically strike nor trigger on-attack effects, but it will still apply on-hit effects. Additionally, Twin Bite's empowered attack becomes unstoppable.

During the next 3 seconds, Shyvana deals 20 / 33 / 45 / 58 / 70 (+0.2 per bonus attack damage) magic damage each second to nearby enemies and gains 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% (+8% per 100 ability power) increased movement speed. Shyvana's auto attacks also deal 25% of Burnout's AoE damage for the duration of the ability.

The movement speed bonus is reduced by 15% of the original amount every second. Shyvana's auto attacks increase Burnout's duration, up to a maximum of 4 seconds.

Dragon Form: The range of Burnout increases to 350 / 365 / 380 at rank 1 / 2 / 3 of Dragon's Descent.

ACTIVE: Shyvana unleashes a fireball in the target direction, stopping upon colliding with an enemy champion and dealing 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+0.3 per attack damage) (+70% of ability power) magic damage to all enemies hit and marking them for 5 seconds.

Shyvana's basic attacks against marked enemies deal 3.75% of target's maximum health bonus magic damage, capped at 150 against monsters.

DRAGON FORM: Flame Breath explodes upon hitting an enemy champion or reaching the target location, dealing 100−160 (depending on level) + 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+0.6 per attack damage) (+100% of ability power) increased magic damage to them and surrounding enemies and scorching the earth for 4 seconds.
