LoL: Wild Rift Shyvana Guide: Best build, items, runes
Everything you need to know about Shyvana in Wild Rift
In this League of Legends: Wild Rift Shyvana guide you'll find everything you need to know about the champion, from her skills and how to allocate them to her build, skill combo, and runes. Here is what you will find in the Shyvana guide below:
Shyvana, The Half-Dragon is one of the Wild Rift champions that can shapeshift, gaining a new set of skills whenever she does so. This can be seen in champions like Gnar and Jayce (who have not been released yet), and that only means one thing - her kit can vary depending on what form she's in. In Dragon form, Shyvana has slightly different effects than in Human form and is a tad more powerful.But there's something more - Shyvana gains additional benefits from slaying the Drakes. Her skills get empowered depending on which Drakes spawn in the game, and if you manage to secure them, your skills will receive additional stats. From true damage to increased movement speed and on-hit crowd control, she can be extremely versatile.
In terms of difficulty, Shyvana is a pretty easy to play champion. Most of her abilities are auto-attack reliant, except for Skill 3 which you have to target (but has a pretty big area anyway). That makes her a fun champion to play, and a pretty powerful one too.

How to combo as Shyvana
Most of Shyvana's skill combos are easy to execute and don't require too much training beforehand. That's exactly what makes her such an appealing pick to many players. - Skill 4 (ultimate) -> Skill 3 -> Flash -> Skill 1 -> Auto-attackThis would be your main engage tool - you will ultimate onto the opponents, then quickly Flash towards them and start auto-attacking.
- Skill 2 -> Skill 3 -> Flash -> Skill 1 -> Auto-attackThis would be your pre-level 5 combo - you can start a fight using this because by using Flash you'll extend the range of your Skill 3.
- Skill 2 -> Auto-attack -> Skill 3 -> Skill 1 -> Auto-attacksThis combo is another simple one that will just rely on your sticking to your opponent and taking them down with normal attacks.
In what order to level up the skills?
For Shyvana, you want to max your Skill 3 first, then continue by levelling Skill 2, and finally Skill 1.- Level 1: Skill 3
- Level 2: Skill 2
- Level 3: Skill 1
- Level 4: Skill 3
- Level 5: Skill 4
- Level 6: Skill 3
- Level 7: Skill 3
Keep levelling Skill 3 until it's maxed, then focus on Skill 2, and lastly on Skill 1. Of course, whenever you can, you want to add 1 point into your Skill 4 (ultimate).
