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 Udyr
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his stun
Once Blazing Stampede (E) has stunned you, take your trade: he can't stun you again for a while.
- No CC while he's awakened
If you have CC, don't use it when he awakens Blazing Stampede (E): he's immune to immobilizing effects then. Wait for the effect to end.
- Stay away from his storm
Keep your distance from Wingborne Storm (R): it damages and slows nearby enemies every second, and once awakened, it follows the last enemy he hit.
