Shyvana
View on Wiki
Shyvana is one of the weakest full constellation champions, with a deck reliant on drawing 'dragon's while her starter deck only has two other 'dragons' both of which are expensive. This leaves her highly reliant on drafting additional dragons and cutting the rest of her undesirable cards.
'Overwhelm' is crucial because she has no other source of it.
Strategy
This build focuses on maximizing the value of Shyvana's champion spell, Confront. With constellation upgrades, this spell grants stats, Challenger, Barrier, card draw, and even creates another copy of itself. At burst speed, this spell is amazing and easily one of the best cards in any base deck in the game.
In higher star adventures, enemies will often start with bigger stats than Shyvana. 'Confront' allows Shyvana to stay on the board, survive hits, and eventually outscale her enemies.
Grants the 'Deathless' keyword.
In combination with 'Deathless', Shyvana always revives when killed.
Strategy
Voidborne is a great choice against Zoe because you can usually stall the game for long enough to get lifesteal from a poro. Especially if you have her c4 Tough nexus.
Deathless + Voidborne is an overpowered synergy that revives Shyvana every time she dies, activating her c3 strike in the process.
Generates a fleeting copy of her champion spell every round, providing consistent access to buffs and Barrier.
Forces Shyvana to strike the weakest enemy upon summoning, providing immediate board control and a potential Fury trigger.
Rallies upon leveling up, allowing Shyvana to capitalize on her increased stats with an immediate extra attack.
Strategy
This build utilizes rare relics to maintain board control and apply pressure. Stalker's Blade offers immediate removal when Shyvana is played, helping her level up quickly.
The Grand General's Counterplan ensures a steady supply of her champion spell to protect her during combat. Crownguard Inheritance creates a powerful swing turn by rallying the moment she levels up.

Her signature relic provides a strong early attack boost and Overwhelm, making it easier to secure initial kills and trigger Fury. However, it does not activate Starforged Gauntlets due to timing mechanics.
Can be unreliable depending on which spell it marks, but can be extremely powerful if it marks her champion spell.
Prevents Shyvana from taking damage while attacking, ensuring she can safely scale. However, builds focusing on her champ spell are more consistent because death's foil can't save her from being removed by spells or on the enemy attack turn.
Shyvana's base deck features expensive units, making her early game vulnerable. She relies heavily on constellation upgrades to smooth out her mana curve, improve her champion spell, and provide necessary scaling to compete in higher-difficulty adventures.

Grants the Nexus Tough. This is much more impactful than it might appear, allowing Shyvana to shrug off attacks by wide boards of attackers.

Call of the Brood
When allies attack, draw a unit. If it's a Dragon, summon it attacking.Review
Summons a unit from the deck on attack. This is a massive upgrade to Shyvana's power, especially with Echoing Spirit. This frequently lets you have multiple copies of Shyvana in play.
- Prioritize Dragon Drafts
Shyvana's deck relies heavily on dragon synergy, but her starting deck contains several non-dragon units. Aggressively draft dragons at reward nodes and use healer nodes to cut non-dragon followers to improve the consistency of her abilities, especially her 6-star power.
- Maximize Champion Spell Value
Hold at least one copy of Confront in hand on enemy turns, and ensure you have the two spell mana required to cast it. Don't get caught out and lose Shyvana to a random challenger unit.
