Shout out to Ae-rie on Deviant Art for this amazing picture.

Welcome to my first Mobafire guide, I am ImAnOpenFanFic, also known as IMainIrelia. I'm a Silver 1 Fill Main, but I mostly play Jungle and Top lane. Shyvana was the second jungler I played, after Warwick, and I fell in love with her versatility, split push potential, and tank play style.

"I have proven my might to dragonkind—what challenge shall humans pose?"
― Shyvana

Currently, I have 180k Mastery with Irelia, 110k with Shyvana, and 100k with Ahri. I have Mastery 7 with the first two.

"What do you get when a dragon sneezes? (Chuckles) Out of the way."

I've participated in Colligate Overwatch Tournaments, a couple of Halo 3 amateur tournaments in my younger years, and I aim to start participating in Destiny 3 v 3 tournaments. I love competitive play, there is no bigger joy I feel than winning a game with my friends in a professional setting.

PRO'S

Mana-less
AA-canceling, double On-Hitting Q
Tank Shredder
Versatile. Tank, Tank Shredder, Split Pusher, Teamfight Winner
Dragon shredding passive
Snowballs harder than people expect

CON'S

Mana-less, many items should not be bought
Less than adequate AP ratios
No hard form of CC, Ult is a knockback
Passive is only useful if you can get Dragons
AA-Reliant

Simple, it goes as follows
Red Buff > Krugs* > Rift Scuttler > Gank or continue > Wolves* > Blue Buff (Can give to Mid Laner if you got a kill or assist on your gank) > Gromp > Scuttler

(*) = Smite

"By the blood of my father, I will end them."

Hopefully, you are level 4 or 5 and bought Stalkers Blade, two longswords, and a control ward. Any extra gold can be used on a Rej. Bead or a Health Pot.



Immediately tell your mid and bot that you will solo dragon, and to keep track of their enemy laners. Control Ward in front of the dragon, and begin the Dragon v Dragon fight. Remember to AA cancel with your Q and Smite early if you are not confident in your sustain, trust me, you should be fine.
Hopefully, you got Dragon, and now you will power farm until you hit 6 or a lane is pushed back. Do what Junglers do and get your laners ahead.

A kill for your laners is one step closer to victory.

Alright, into the huge point of why I love Shyvana, her teamfighting capabilities. Oh man, here we go!

"They are nothing before me."

First off, Shyvana is a front-line powerhouse. If an enemy tank gets too close, Shyv can so easily E > Q them for a free 5% of their max health as MD (without resistance). If the enemy team spreads out, that allows Shyvana to EASILY ult into the carry and get a ton of damage off before the rest of the team can come to the rescue. BUT if the enemy team is bunched up, then you can trigger your inner Malphite and ult in for a free HUGE shield from Courage of the Colossus!

Once in the middle of the enemy team, your job is simple, focus the carry. You gotta pick to focus the mid-laner or the AD carry because you won't live long if you try to balance the damage. With Titanic Hydra, the damage will already be spread out.

Shyvana, with her W and Titanic Hydra, will always be hurting the enemy team in a team fight if they try to fight her. But your focus is making their carry **** themselves that a huge dragon is about to destroy their health bar. As long as you can keep the carry occupied, the more time your allies have to take care of their tanks or come assist you in taking out the Raid Boss.
