Guide to Synergizing Zilean and Shyvana

Tips for Playing as Zilean with Shyvana

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

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.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Shyvana?

There is no top ally for Zilean that will 100% of the time be his top ally. Yet, overall, Shyvana is a terrible ally for Zilean. By locking into the same team as Zilean, she drops their win rate by -3.1% to 47.6%. This proves that there is a terrible bond between Zilean and Shyvana that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Shyvana has a lower difficulty than Zilean. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Shyvana allies to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by pairing Zilean and Shyvana together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a great deal of crowd control. Make sure to have other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
