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 Qiyana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Check her weapon's element
Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.
- Back off when she changes element
Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.
- Stay away from walls and the river
Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
