Great poke throughout the game if she has gone for the AP build.
When AD, she is really good in extended trades thanks to her W and her Q which is an auto-attack reset.
Post 6, and whenever her Ultimate R is up, she has a “get out of jail free card” as she can use her Ultimate R to disengage.
Shyvana relies on her Jungler to secure objectives so she can get additional stats.
When her Ultimate R is down, she is quite vulnerable and doesn’t have any real disengage, although her W can help her escape a little.
She has so many counters in the top lane. It can be really difficult to play Shyvana in a lot of different matchups.

Look to go for short trades with your Q and W but only when the enemy champion's main damage or CC ability is down. Avoid shoving the wave in either unless you want to recall.
The lane brushes can be used during duels as you may be able to drop vision in them. You may also be able to E enemies easily from them as the enemy won't see it coming.
Once you get your Ultimate R, you should be able to dish out a lot of damage. It will allow you to take over fights easily and act as a disruptor.

In the mid-game, focus on stacking your items and see if you can help your allies in getting kills around the map. It will help your team a lot, especially if you can catch enemies out of the fog of war.
Look for picks during the mid game. It should be quite easy for you due to your W and E. Don't forget to use your Ultimate R frequently.
While sieging Baron or Dragon, or whenever you’re pushing the enemy under their tower, look for a pick with your abilities. If you can catch someone out of position or blow them up, you’ll be able to take the objective for free.

When you try to all-in enemies with your Ultimate R, make a note of your carries. Your job will be to fall back and peel for them if they aren't safe enough.
Depending on the build you go for, you will have different jobs in the team. If going for AP, focus on the backline, else, focus on keeping the enemy frontline off your team.
If the enemy is grouping, look to group with your team too. In team fights, continue to focus on the squishiest and easiest to kill high-priority targets in the backline. Your Ultimate R will help you a lot with that.
Shyvana’s early game strength depends on the matchup she is in. She can either be quite strong or really weak.
At level 6, Shyvanaa will unlock her Dragon R form. She truly comes online at this stage of the game as she basically gets access to a free escape tool and 3 additional abilities.
When Shyvana has completed her Mythic item, her trading potential in lane increases and she can start to look for frequent trades with the enemy laner.
Her first ability will be maxed out at level 9. This is a massive spike for her and will allow her to deal tons of burst damage to her enemies.
She is an excellent team fighter, especially if she manages to get on top of the enemies from the fog of war. Flanking will help her a lot during team fights.
The second point in her Ultimate R will increase the damage she can deal to her enemies. Again, she will need to rely on flanks to ensure that she can get the most out of that ability.
Her overall power increases with the number of drakes she has captured during the early and the mid-game. Hence, she must prioritize them.
Level sixteen is a decent power spike as well. It will bolster her Ultimate R's damage in the game, and she can blow up enemies with ease now.
Her overall strength will depend on the build she goes for. She can either blow up enemies from far away with her AP build, or she can dive into the enemy team and act as a bruiser.
