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 Kha'Zix

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay near an ally

    Stay near an ally: alone, Unseen Threat (passive) marks you as isolated, and Taste Their Fear (Q) hits you much harder.

  2. Fight back if his leap misses

    If he leaps in without a kill, fight back: Leap (E) has a 20 to 12 second cooldown, which a takedown only resets once the spell is evolved.

  3. Ward his paths

    Ward his paths: out of sight, Unseen Threat (passive) empowers his next auto against a champion, which damages and slows.
