Emberstrike

Cooldown: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6Cast time: noneEffect radius: 275

Passive: Shyvana's basic attacks on-hit will reduce Emberstrike's current cooldown by 0.5 seconds, and deal bonus magic damage equal to 1% (+ 1.1% per 100 bonus AD) of the target's maximum health. Against non-champions, this effect deals a minimum of 10 and is capped at 200.

Active: Emberstrike can be cast twice in Human Form and thrice in Dragon Form. Each cast empowers Shyvana's next basic attack within 6 seconds to have an uncancellable windup and trigger an additional exclusive effect. After 1.5 seconds of using an Emberstrike attack, or immediately following a basic attack, the ability can be recast within and up to the next 4 seconds each time, before it incurs its cooldown. Shyvana gains 50 bonus range on all of her basic attacks while Emberstrike is active. The attacks deal 10 bonus physical damage against monsters.

First Cast: Shyvana slashes her claws, blasting a cone in the target's direction that deals modified physical damage to enemies hit. The damage to the primary target is affected by critical strike modifiers.

Area Physical Damage: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 110% AD) (+ 30% AP)

Second Cast: Shyvana slams her tail, dealing the same damage to the target and surrounding enemies.

Dragon Form Bonus — Third Cast: Shyvana takes a bite out of the target, dealing modified true damage. This damage cannot critically strike.

True Damage: 15 / 22.5 / 30 / 37.5 / 45 (+ 165% AD) (+ 45% AP)

All casts reset Shyvana's basic attack timer.

Targeting input: AutoAffects: EnemiesDamage type: See NotesDamage sub-types: Physical, MagicSpell shield: Not BlockedParries: Missing

Notes (8)

Applies spell damage to the primary target (attack target) and area damage to secondary targets. The passive on-hit damage applies proc damage.
Spell shield will not block any damage nor be consumed by the strikes.
The true damage is always equal to 150% of the pre-mitigation physical damage.
Blind will negate the damage to the primary target, but not to any secondary targets.
PENDING FOR TEST: Interaction with parrying effects ( dodge, block).
Only the last cast of Emberstrike puts Shyvana's basic attack on cooldown.
In Human Form, only Q2 will put it on cooldown; in Dragon Form, only Q3 will.
This results in the same functionality as Leona's Shield of Daybreak and Volibear's Thundering Smash, effectively being a triple/quintuple attack reset.

AD ratio changed to 100% AD.

Inferno Aegis

Cooldown: 13 / 12.25 / 11.5 / 10.75 / 10Cast time: noneEffect radius: 350 • 2000 • 600

Active: Shyvana shields herself for 2.5 seconds, with the shield strength increased by 30% for every nearby enemy champion. For the same duration, she gains 25% bonus movement speed, increased to 43.75% while facing visible enemy champions.

Shield Strength: 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 12% bonus health)
Increased shield per champion: 18 / 24 / 30 / 36 / 42 (+ 3.6% bonus health)

After 1 second, Inferno Aegis can be recast while the shield holds and does so automatically after it expires or is broken.

Recast: Shyvana consumes the shield to explode, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies.

Magic Damage: 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 (+ 65% AP)

Dragon Form Bonus: If the explosion hits an enemy champion, Shyvana heals herself for 60 – 104.71 (based on level) (+ 4% – 8.47% (based on level) missing health).

Molten Burst

Cooldown: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8Cast time: 0.25 • 0.3333Range: 800 • 1000Effect radius: 150 • 300Width: 120 • 100Speed: 1500 • 1600

Active: Shyvana launches a fireball in the target direction that explodes upon colliding with the first enemy or reaching maximum range, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 30% for 2 seconds.

Magic Damage: 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110 (+ 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80% AP) (+ 5% of target's maximum health)

Dragon Form Bonus: The fireball is wider, can pass through enemies, and deals 25% increased damage. Upon hitting an enemy champion or large monster, and after reaching maximum range, the fireball sets an explosion upon the targets struck and at the location that applies the same effects. Molten Burst will also scorch the ground it touches beneath for 2 seconds. Enemies within a scorched field are dealt 3.75 / 5 / 6.25 (based on level) (+ 1.25% AP) magic damage every 0.25 seconds, for a total maximum damage of 30 / 40 / 50 (based on level) (+ 10% AP). Enemies may be damaged by only one scorched field at a time. Subsequent explosions against the same target deal 40% damage.

Increased/Explosion Magic Damage: 62.5 / 81.25 / 100 / 118.75 / 137.5 (+ 75 / 81.25 / 87.5 / 93.75 / 100% AP) (+ 6.25% of target's maximum health)
Subsequent Explosion Damage: 25 / 32.5 / 40 / 47.5 / 55 (+ 30 / 32.5 / 35 / 37.5 / 40% AP) (+ 2.5% of target's maximum health)

Targeting input: Direction / LocationTarget out-of-range override: While in Dragon Form, target at maximum range (clamped)Affects: EnemiesDamage type: See NotesDamage sub-types: MagicSpell shield: BlockedProjectile: Blocked

Notes (4)

The fireball applies area damage. In Dragon Form, the explosion applies area damage and the scorched field deals persistent area damage.
In Dragon Form, both areas of effect will be centered on the first champion struck, not at the location the missile collided with them.
Molten Burst will fail to go on cooldown if its cast time starts in Dragon Form and ends in Human Form.(bug)
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Map-specific differences (4)

Explosion base damage changed to 75 – 195 (based on level).
On-hit damage health ratio changed to 2% of target's maximum health.
On-hit bonus AD ratio changed to 0.5% per 100 bonus AD.

Dragon's Descent

Cost: 3.3 Dragon Fury every 0.5 secondsCast time: 0.25Target range: 400 - 1050

Passive - Fury: Shyvana generates Dragon Fury every 0.5 seconds while in Human Form. Her basic attacks and abilities also generate 1.25 Dragon Fury for each enemy damaged, up to once per enemy per cast instance and increased「 by 200% 」「 to 3.75 」during Dragon Form. Against non-champions damaged by abilities, the generated amount is reduced to「 25%. 」「 0.3125 and 0.9375 Dragon Fury during Human Form and Dragon Form, respectively. 」Shyvana gains 1% bonus Dragon Fury generation from all sources per 1 ultimate haste. Shyvana gains 100 Dragon Fury upon learning Dragon's Descent.

Dragon Fury Generation per 0.5 Seconds: 0.25 / 0.375 / 0.5
Dragon Fury Generation per Second: 0.5 / 0.75 / 1

Active: Shyvana transforms into Dragon Form and flies with displacement immunity to the target location, breathing fire in a cone along the way that deals magic damage to enemies hit and fears them for 0.75 seconds, as well as slows them by 99% for the same duration.

Magic Damage: 150 / 250 / 350 (+ 100% AP)

Dragon Form: Shyvana gains bonus health, bonus attack range, and increased size. Her basic abilities are empowered to apply an additional effect. She maintains Dragon Form at a recurring cost of Dragon Fury, returning to Human Form once all Dragon Fury has been depleted.

Bonus Health: 150 / 250 / 350
Bonus Range: 25 / 50 / 75
Size Increase: 5 / 12.5 / 20%

100 Dragon Fury is required to cast this ability.

Targeting input: LocationTarget out-of-range override: Target at maximum range (clamped)Affects: Enemies, SelfDamage type: Area damageDamage sub-types: MagicSpell shield: BlockedGrounded: DisabledKnockdown: Not Interrupted

Notes (5)

Dragon's Descent's displacement immunity begins from the start of the cast time.
Ultimate haste acquired while Shyvana is dead does not grant bonus Dragon Fury generation until she respawns.
Emberstrike's attack against the primary target will generate the full Dragon Fury amount even if they're a non-champion.
The attack's area of effect will generate reduced Dragon Fury for secondary targets damaged.
Death, unless protected by Resurrection

Tips & tricks (6)

Because of how ultimate haste interacts with Shyvana's fury generation, it has a bigger effect than haste has on abilities with a regular cooldown.
Dragon's Descent essentially has a cooldown of 200 / 133.333 / 100 seconds, reduced by 0.625 / 0.4167 / 0.3125 for each damaging basic attack and ability hit, increased to 2.5 / 1.67 / 1.25 against champions.
It also essentially lasts for 15 seconds, increased by 0.140625 for each basic attack and ability hit, increased to 0.5625 against champions.
Normally, with 100 haste, the only effect would be the cooldown getting reduced by 50% to 100 / 66.667 / 50, but because 100 ultimate haste grants Shyvana an extra 100% bonus fury generation from all sources, this also increases how much the "cooldown" is reduced by basic attacks and abilities to 1.25 / 0.8333 / 0.625 for non-champions and 5 / 3.33 / 2.5 for champions.
This is the opposite effect to abilities with cooldown reductions that scale with haste (e.g. Master Yi's Alpha Strike), which instead lower the reduction amount with haste. This happens because ultimate haste increases fury generation from all sources instead of only increasing her passive fury generation.
Additionally, this also affects the duration increase per basic attack or ability the same way, amounting to an extra 0.28125 against non-champions and 1.125 against champions.
