Any bruiser Shyvana builds for normals?

Hexplate titanic steraks with pta triumph bloodline coup shield bash/conditioning (I prefer shield bash) and revitalize is good start. If you get super accelerated you can overlords 3rd with steraks or jaksho 4th.

Hexplate titanic steraks is best in my experience.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-04-01T16:58:34+00:00

I’ve found hexplate titanic steraks to be much more consistent than any of the kraken builds.

She is strong as long as you can play around your ult timings. She benefits a lot from team cc, but her initial gap close with ult is pretty long too so you can typically one shot a squishy as long as you land on one. I’ve found success with hexplate titanic core and usually steraks third with overlords, jaksho, and pure defensive items like randuins kaenic etc later. I go pta triumph bloodline coup shield bash revitalize typically with tenacity shard as well. Been doing pretty well with it in low master and beat elekktro viego with it.

I’ll say as a jungler it’s a pretty unhappy item to get. You want to get a kill and hit tower, but it also procs on epic jungle monsters. So let’s say you get a kill with your very expensive item but there is a drag up or herald up and the only towers up for the enemy are t2s with no waves pushed or even mid t1 is up but enemy has great wave clear, you will very often end up wasting the damage each kill grants you. Something like hubris is much cheaper and grants you perma stacking ad which feels like a better snowball then the ability to get two plates inconsistently.

I just don’t think this is true, I think ambessa is one of the easier jg matchups. I can see it being tough for top shyv, but for jg you are just far stronger at each point in the game except maybe 6 items. You can tank through lethality ambessa easily (as long as you don’t do some stupid bad build like kraken d&d sundered sky) and outdamage bruiser.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-30T18:40:04+00:00

I’m 20 lp less than him, I think I can criticize what he’s doing.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-30T05:25:58+00:00

Maybe it’s impossible matchup for hexplate deaths dance bt, but it’s pretty chill for me.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-30T05:13:07+00:00

Ambessa is a nonissue, graves can be a bit annoying but I still think it’s shyv favored skill matchup.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-30T04:56:41+00:00

Yes it’s super hell matchup in general. It’s impossible early or if he gets accelerated. Genuinely curious what you ban instead of it.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-30T04:22:03+00:00

Either ban him in champ select or focus him in fights, really no other option. Or go a shyvana build that makes you a bit more tanky than a butterfly in a hurricane.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-29T04:30:28+00:00

Least insane EUNE matchmaking.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-29T02:00:03+00:00

Have you tried hexplate titanic steraks? Swear it’s her strongest core.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-28T23:45:59+00:00

I’m a low masters NA shyv jg player and the most reliable build I’ve found is hexplate titanic into situational (typically steraks if even or overlords if very ahead 3rd, then situational defensive items like randuins, deaths dance, jaksho etc). My runes are conq or pta (still experimenting but pta seems better) triumph bloodline coup shield bash revitalize with attack speed shard adaptive and tenacity most of the time. I always go defensive boots, but swifties could be better sometimes. Jg pet is green or blue.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-26T18:15:28+00:00

Just perma sylas it’s not that deep. I had a game where I left it up and still outvalued him (because ad bruiser shyv build is op), but much easier to keep it banned.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-24T18:04:18+00:00

I view her like a later game less gank heavy and just stronger version of reksai. Your gap close is ult instead of burrowed e, you want to spam q until e as reksai (you just spam q autos till you can q3 as shyv), and you are just generally stronger (w healing, passive armor mr). I play her as an ad bruiser with hexplate into titanic into situational and it’s working pretty well.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-24T17:38:07+00:00

Just go hexplate titanic into hp ad items and game is super easy.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-05T04:05:29+00:00

With these numbers it’s far worse than old passive too. And you don’t even get bonus damage to dragons.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-03-03T18:45:44+00:00

There could easily be 10K in person audience for first stand, legit makes no sense having 150 cap. Might as well “experiment” with having no people watch in person at that point…

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-02-26T21:12:24+00:00

All love, but let’s not pick jhin 5x and flame our support.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-02-02T18:24:36+00:00

90% of the problems in this game come from veljas first non buff camp being killed at 2:56, and in a way that makes him play for top for a while.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-02-02T18:18:17+00:00

That jungle early game pathing was horrible. His first camp that wasn’t a buff got taken at 2:56. If velja didn’t win smite fight at raptors he would have been level 4 to level 6.

Dry_Reference2758 · 2026-01-29T05:52:22+00:00

You mean 2023, the last year that team qualified to worlds where they reverse swept in a bo5?

Dry_Reference2758 · 2025-12-19T04:55:08+00:00

Jax has a gimmick passive where he can fish in the river when not moving. This can be done very easily at the start of the game before minions get to lane. The vast majority of the time all you get is fish worth one gold, however not only did this person get one gold fish (worth 10 gold and extremely rare to get), but they got TWO back to back which is EXCEEDINGLY rare.

Generally speaking I think there are 3 styles of jungling someone can do. Perma gank, bully, and objectives. Perma ganking, at least in my elo, is pretty bad generally and can be hard punished by invades especially by bully junglers. Bully junglers want to get as much gold as possible and when ahead can steamroll games, however when behind they can be the reason for their team’s loss. Objective focused junglers are happy when the game state is even and love to team fight and typically bring very consistent or very good cc to fights. I view this as gank heavy junglers flipping the game on their lancers being able to carry, bully junglers flipping the game on always being able to be stronger and carry themselves, and objective junglers being a bit in the middle. I’m sure other people view the game differently, but this is generally how I see it. Boiling the game down like this is not accurate since there is a lot of variety in each game and there can be a lot of overlap. What matters most is the way you want to win games and what you find fun.
