Playing as Shyvana
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step up when he misses Q
Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.
- Spread out from your allies
In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.
- Watch your early jungle
Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
