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 Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
