Arena has been out for a week, and the game is getting a few changes with Patch 26.6. Alongside the full release of Shyvana, Riot is adding an exclusive Augment for the half dragon.

Arena has been a popular mode since it was added back to the game. With Riot Games is clearly looking to have the “Fortnite” style of “keep them playing” mentality. With normal Draft, Ranked, quick play, ARAM, ARAM Mayhem, and now Arena, LoL has become a one-stop shop for people.

Now, with Patch 26.6, we get our first set of changes to Arena since it was released.

Arena Changes – Shyvana Gains Exclusive Augment

First up is Shyvana, who is getting the first exclusive character augment in Arena. Arena is due to last until April 28th, so this celebration of Shyvana’s rework is a great excuse to try the game out. Plus, Arena is a “fun mode” meaning you can pre-pick Shyvana before the game starts.

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.
