Shyvana, after being left out in the jungle role, has made a strong comeback to the top lane in League of Legends solo queue.
Shyvana seemed to have disappeared from the solo queue mode of League of Legends, but now she is back in a completely different role: A top laner, so why is Long Nu suddenly popular with Koreans? so used. Let’s take a look at how the players on the Korean server use this card.
Shyvana overview:
Shyvana is a champion that straddles the line between a Tanker and a fighter, she has good resistance and great damage from E Dragon’s Breath. She also has the ability to go lane and hold turrets very well, the set of moves helps Shyvana push lanes and trade hits without fear of wasting energy like other champions. In teamfights, Shyvana will have the ability to dash with a wide range of skills along with increased resistances when in dragon form, so the amount of damage “Dragon Maiden” causes is also “not medium” to the team. enemy formation, even if the target is a champion that is resistant to buffalo or the main damage ((Sniper, Mage, Assassin) with low health.
Skills, Summoner Spells, Gems, and Equip:
1. Technique:
Starting with the skill E – Dragon Breath right from level 1 Shyvana even if only on the defensive item of Doran Shield, Shyvana can deal more than 100 magic damage to enemies if she uses her moves correctly (80 instant magic damage + 3.75% of target’s max health becomes Shyvana’s magic damage per hit after hitting her E.In the case of top lane champions with 700+ health at level level 1, they must take close to 30 magic damage). Causing more than 100 HP of enemies to “fly” right from the first trade phase of the game is really profitable, with any champion in the top lane, it should be known that each health pot costs 50 gold only heals you 150 health ( It takes 15 seconds to cool down) only. Right in the first phase of facing Dragon Breath, you can blow away an enemy’s health pot that will create a huge premise in taking advantage of laning. Next is the skill W – Flaming, which helps Shyvana increase movement speed, as well as attack damage to help “Semi-Dragon girl” optimize her strengths in the chase phase of the enemy.
2. Summoner spells:
Speed: with Shyavana, carrying a flash is extremely redundant when she already has W-Burning and the ultimate ability to turn Dragon to dodge ganks. Speed will be the perfect choice to increase Shyvana’s dash and mobility.
Teleport: Classic summoner spell for top laners. Teleport will help Shyvana stay in lane better and easily be everywhere on the map.
Ignite: If you like being a Fire God Dragon why not try Ignite – an early heal reduction and decent damage early game.
3. Gem Board:
The rune board is perfect for Shyvana as it provides everything she needs from damage to resistance. You can also make small tweaks to suit the game, such as taking Second Wind or Bone Armor for better laning or using Tenacious when the opponent has too much control.
4.Equipment:
Doran’s Shield (450 gold): A suitable starter item for Shyvana, giving her a large amount of health early in the game and the ability to heal to fend off her opponent’s pokes. An interesting fact is that Doran’s Shield is the most powerful of the starter items as it provides up to 300% of the gold value, compared to about 130% for Doran Sword and Doran Ring. “:
Glamor Gloves (2800v): Too great for Shyvana, just in terms of stats, it’s very good and comprehensive, from health, armor, magic resistance, cooldown. The Sacrifice passive helps her push minions faster, while the Snow Frost passive allows Shyvana to have an additional control ability that her kit is relatively lacking. Try to go to the Bami Ruins on the first return to push the minions faster.
Warmog’s Blood Armor (3000v): A terrible item in Shyvana’s hands, it provides a minimum of 4 times the value when activating her passive and will increase as Shyvana has more pages. more blood. With the Glove of Fire providing 100 more health with each legendary item, right at the milestone of 2 items you can activate the passive for healing and turrets for as long as you want.
Cursed Helmet (3000v): When there is too much health, this equipment will convert us into AP, at the 3 item mark you will have nearly 60 more AP with an oversized stick that costs 1250 gold. Cursed Helmet’s passive will also give Shyvana more discomfort and a bit of a poke with scorching damage over time.
Optional equipment:
Boots (300 gold): You can build Mage Boots, Ionian Boots, Barbed Shoe, and Mercury Boots depending on the match situation. Mage boots for pushing an advantage, Ionia boots for pushing minions, and tank boots for early green carry.
Great Serpent Ax (3300 gold): Simply Cursed Helmet physical version, if you need more split push, this is the right equipment. Only go up when you are too green because its price is not cheap.
Raduin Ice Shield (2700 gold): Gives health, armor, slow ability, and reduces critical damage quite well if you have to rush into combat. Prioritize when the other party plays critical gunner and generals like Yasuo, Yone, Tryndamere, etc.
Armor of Thorns (2700 gold): In a meta where the healing becomes too strong, it is not bad to invest in a healing reduction, but you should not go straight to spike armor because the stat it gives is only about 70% the amount of gold spent, when you are losing, just the Cloak of Thorns is enough.
Nature’s Armor (2900 gold): Gives Magic Resistance and Movement Speed, suitable stats for Shyvana, is a “hack game” item that when maxed out will give 117% of the gold spent along with Passive reduces magic damage. Get up early when the opponent is nasty generals like Mordekaiser, Lilia, Leblanc, ..
Tips for playing Shyvana:
The Normal Attack-Dual Dragon Player combo will immediately activate Ready to Attack, take advantage of this combo in every trade. While using the ultimate move Dragon Transformation, you will be immune to control, if timing is good you can completely outplay the opponent’s retention moves.
The Power of Shyvana Gladiator
Shyvana has the ability to clear the jungle quite quickly, so if you can push the minions to go to the jungle to find a monster field to farm, with Burning W you will also return to the lane very quickly.Conclude:
Shyvana is a tank-carrying general, she still has the death point of a tanker that is easy to fly a kite, you should only choose when meeting less mobile or tanker generals. This equipment path only provides Shyvana with health, so if you encounter champions with a percentage of health like Fiora, Vayne, Mordekaiser, etc., you should not choose the Dragon Lady. Make sure to enter the fight when you have the necessary equipment because Shyvana is only really strong in a chaotic fight.
