Playing as Shyvana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Build your Fury on champions

    Hit champions to build Dragon Fury for Dragon's Descent (R): your autos and spells generate it, but less when they also hit minions or monsters.

  2. Engage in dragon form

    Engage with Dragon's Descent (R): you become unstoppable, make the enemies you fly over flee, then your spells are empowered.

  3. Molten Burst through their group

    In dragon form, cast Molten Burst (E) through their group: the fireball pierces enemies and leaves a trail of fire that burns every second.

  4. Save your bite for your target

    In dragon form, save the last Emberstrike (Q) recast for your main target: the bite deals true damage.

Playing against Cho'Gath

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Keep moving

    Keep moving against him: Rupture (Q) strikes an area on the ground, and an enemy standing still takes a knock-up, damage and a slow.

  2. Punish him while he farms

    Punish him when he goes for last hits: Carnivore (passive) restores health and mana for each unit he kills, and he lasts a long time in lane if you let him farm.

  3. Keep your distance if you can

    If you have range, keep your distance: his kit has no dash, only the slows from Rupture (Q) and Vorpal Spikes (E).

  4. Beware Feast at low health

    Don't stay in melee range at low health when Feast (R) is up: its true damage ignores your resistances, even if you're a tank.
