Guide to Synergizing Gwen and Shyvana

Tips for Playing as Gwen with Shyvana

Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.

Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.

Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.

Advice to Understand How Shyvana Will Play

It can be valuable to purchase one of the items that can slow enemies: Frozen Mallet, Dead Man's Plate, or Entropy.

Shyvana's abilities all benefit from attacking units. As a result, Attack Speed items are more valuable on her than most champions.

Burnout is an ideal choice for jungling. Monsters will be hit by the full duration, and the speed boost improves her ganking potential.

Flame Breath is great to level-up against difficult lane opponents.
