WELCOME TO CRITVANA
THIS IS THE ONLY GUIDE YOU NEED FOR SHYVANA
WHY CRITVANA?
ITEMS
Sundered Sky is one of the best new item for Shyvana. Other than giving solid stats on its own, the passive is what we really want for this build. The passive gives a guarenteed crit on your first auto against an enemy champion, and heals you at the same time. However, for Shyvana, you DOUBLE CRIT with Q, and AOE DOUBLE CRIT in dragon form. It will not deal a lotta damage early on, but once you get your second item you will see the potential of this build.
Ravenous Hydra will be the second item in the build. This item synergizes well with Shyvana in her dragon form as it amps your AOE damage while also giving you healing. It also gives tons of AD which means higher crit damage.
Infinity Edge will be what truly makes you a monster. With Riot buffing the crit damage, 225% AD is no damage to scoff at.
As for boots, Berserker's Greaves are heavily considerable since the item itself is very gold efficient, plus more attack speed means faster fury gen. You will not get your Q CD low enough to matter with this build, as the idea behind the build is to deal as much damage in Q>AA. And since you will have a little bit of crit, more hits means more crits.
Boots of Swiftness is another good boots for our dragon. It helps one of her biggest weakness, which is being kited. And since it is cheap you can get it sooner.
Ionian Boots of Lucidity will be another option. More haste on everything is always a plus. This is usually what I run.

COUNTERS
You may be a dragon, but you still got to lookout. Primary counters to this build are champs that can kite you, like Vayne and Quinn champs that can tank you like Ornn and Sett and champs that can deny your burst, like Lulu or Zed since he does not even need to be in your AA range.
Shields will be a problem for you since you cannot build Serpent's Fang. (Well technically you can but it is honestly **** on shyvana). You can only hope to play around it and force their shields with your E.
As you are heavily AA reliant, anyone who can deny you that will also be a problem. Like Shen, Teemo or stealth abilites like Akali]'s shroud or Vayne's Q. For Teemo's blind you will have to wait it out or get a spellshield. If they are stealthed you can Q minions or other champions around them and let your AOE do the work.

PLAYSTYLE
With this build, you will not be playing the usual farm to 6 and play to objectives chicken shyvana. YOU ARE A DRAGON. AND DRAGONS HAVE TO EAT. Forget full clearing. Get level 3 and invade the enemy jungler. They won't see you coming. Enemy overextended? Gank. Crab spawned? Contest. Enemy low with wave pushing? Dive. 6 or not. YOLO every fight. This is how you learn your champion's limits. This is also why we run aggressive runes with Treasure Hunter and Ignite.
In fights, be sure to Q THEN AA or you will be WASTING HALF of sundered sky's passive. WALK UP/ULT, E > Q > AA > RAVENOUS. Then chase down with W while autoing.
Mig game is where this build shines. You will be dishing out tonnes of damage while being relatively hard to kill. This does not mean you can ult in an entire team. If you get focused down you will DIE INSTANTLY. And a dead dragon is a useless dragon. You also want to make sure you end this game at this point, since it really falls off late when everyone will kite you to oblivion.
Now go, and 1v9 with dragon mommy. o7
