Shyvana has many build paths and can make use of a wide range of stats, items and augments, so she does not need to rely as much on finding particular ones.³⁴⁵⁶

• With Darksteel Talon, build Blade of the Ruined King for early wins, then Thornmail for its healing reduction and armor synergy. Look for Shield of the Molten Stone or Deathfire Grasp as a prismatic item, then choose items that work with the one you get.⁷
• Crit Shyvana can be hard to deal with when opponents do not buy Serpent's Fang to reduce her survivability.⁸
• Moonflair works well with Shyvana.⁹

• Shyvana's auto reset on-hit can count as two hits against a plant, letting her take one with one auto reset.¹⁰¹¹
• Shyvana can destroy the middle plant very easily.¹²
• Shyvana has one dash, on her ultimate.¹³

Shyvana can have nearly 100% uptime in Dragon Form while fights continue.¹⁴

Shyvana’s Q gains a third cast in Dragon Form, which deals true damage.¹⁵

• Big Dragon Energy starts combat with full Dragon Fury, stops Dragon Fury from decaying in Dragon Form, and makes Dragon Form Emberstrike’s final strike deal 150% true damage. The augment is exclusive to Shyvana.¹⁶ Patch unknown

Shyvana's Q3 does not benefit from Jeweled Gauntlet.¹⁷

• Typhoon's range only works near enemies, making it very strong on melee champions with on-hit effects, including Shyvana.¹⁸

• Since patch 26.11, Sylas no longer respawns as Shyvana in Dragon Form when he dies while polymorphed.¹⁹

Earlier formats

• Since patch 25.07, Shyvana’s burns no longer count as burns for Infernal Conduit.²² 8x2 duos
• Since patch 25.06, Shyvana gains stacks of her passive.²³ 8x2 duos
• Dragon Heart can continue granting Dragon Souls after the cap, allowing Shyvana's stats and shield to keep increasing.²⁴ 8x2 duos
• Twilight's Edge worked well with Shyvana, and Curse stacked easily. The Prismatic hit with abilities seemed to give two stacks each time she attacked because of Q.²⁵ 8x2 duos
• Master of Duality worked with Shyvana because her Q and Dragon Q true damage benefited from AD and AP. Mystic Punch or Moonflair as a bonus augment improved the build through repeated Q casts that granted AD and AP.²⁶ 8x2 duos
• A Shyvana build with high health and damage could be difficult to kill.²⁷²⁸ 8x2 duos
• Shyvana and Akali could be difficult opponents to fight together.²⁹³⁰ 8x2 duos
• When Sylas takes Shyvana's ultimate with Unshackled and remains in Dragon Form when the round ends, he cannot use the ultimate in the next round because he cannot gain Fury.³¹ 8x2 duos
• AP Shyvana could be satisfying, especially with an Ethereal Weapon build.³² 8x2 duos
• Marksmage does not proc on Shyvana's Q, even with Mystic Punch and repeated Q casts.³³ 8x2 duos
• Dragon Form's final recast of Emberstrike deals 200% damage with Big Dragon Energy.³⁴ 8x2 duos
• A hybrid tank build could use Heartsteel, Goliath, Raid Boss or Tank Engine, followed by Overlord's Bloodmail or Riftmaker and Rabadon's Deathcap. Dusk and Dawn or Kraken Slayer were also item choices, alongside Mystic Punch, Moonflair Spellblade or Master of Duality.³⁵ 8x2 duos
• Fan the Hammer or Dual Wield could consume Shyvana's empowered auto before it finished if a secondary projectile hit the target first, causing the attack to deal no damage.³⁶ 8x2 duos
• With Dual Wield, on-hit Shyvana could deal normal and bonus damage.³⁷ 8x2 duos
