Shyvana Tips and Tricks

Power farm as much as possible early to hit your level 6 power spike quickly and unlock your R. This will give you a significant advantage in team fights and objectives. Always prioritize Dragons, as securing them provides valuable buffs for you and your team. If the enemy Jungler is on the top side of the map, consider taking the Dragon while they’re distracted. Before engaging in a team fight, use your E in Dragon form to poke down the enemy as much as possible. This can help delay the fight, giving your team an edge when you eventually engage.
