Shyvana Jungle guide

Shyvana jungles as a farm-and-fight champion: Emberstrike (Q) strikes an area and can be recast, Inferno Aegis (W) shields her with movement speed before detonating nearby, and Molten Burst (E) explodes on large targets and slows them. Dragon's Descent (R) is her only gap-closer, transforming her into a Dragon that sends enemies fleeing along her path and empowers all three basic abilities.

The build

Rune page: Press the Attack, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Emberstrike (Q) into Molten Burst (E) then Inferno Aegis (W), maxing Emberstrike (Q) first. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Trinity Force, Spear of Shojin, Death's Dance, with Kraken Slayer, Dusk and Dawn, and Sundered Sky as later options.

Ability mechanics

Scalemail (passive) grants stacks from takedowns on enemy champions, large minions, and large monsters, improving her defenses. In Dragon Form, Emberstrike (Q) gains an additional recast for a single large burst of damage, Inferno Aegis (W)'s explosion heals her if it strikes an enemy champion, and Molten Burst (E) passes through and explodes on large enemies, leaving a trail of fire.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Master Yi, Jarvan IV, Kayn, Viego. Best matchups: Lee Sin, Nocturne, Graves.
