Riot Games has officially given the details of the full Shyvana Rework kit. The release is set to be released in March, and the rework brings an end to one of the longest waits in League of Legends history for a rework.
The rework has been in the works for nearly a decade, being announced alongside Volibear, Udyr, and Fiddlesticks.
Shyvana Rework: Abilities
Passive – Scalemail
When Shyvana secures takedowns on enemy champions, large minions, and large monsters, she is granted Scalemail stacks. Permanent stacks that grant Armor and Magic Resist.
Q – Emberstrike
Human Form – Shyvana’s new Q will deal damage to the primary target and those in the area around her. The attack will also reset her auto-attack.
Dragon Form – An additional recal that deals increased single-target damage, rather than the current design.
W – Inferno Aegis
Human Form – Grants a shield and increases movement speed before detonating in an area around her after a short delay.
Dragon Form – The explosion from the shield will now also heal Shyvana if it hits an enemy champion or monster
E – Molten Burst
Human Form – A fileball that now also slows enemies when hit
Dragon Form – The fireball now passes through targets and explodes at the end of the cast. This leaves a trail of fire from Shyvana.
R – Dragon’s Descent
Human Form – Transform into a dragon and leap forward, fearing enemies along the path.
Dragon Form – All basic abilities are now empowered
One note on the Syvana Rework in Riot Games’ video is that Shyvana is a dragon now. As such, she will use all parts of her form to attack, like her claws, wings, etc.
Speaking about the rework, Riot Games talks about working with fans to make sure their favourite champion wasn’t changed too much. They noted, though were not specific, about times in the past where this had happened and upset champion mains. This included flying out Shyvana mains to the Riot Games HQ in Los Angeles to provide feedback on changes and the design.
Shyvana Rework Release Date
The rework will drop with patch 26.6 on March 18th. We have Patch 26.5 still to come, meaning the Shyvana rework is just two patches away at the time of publishing.
