Difficulty: Hard
Playstyle: Fast 9
Carries: Tahm Kench, Miss Fortune—Lucian

Strengths

2. Shurima Shuffle—High Cast Speed Shyvana
Difficulty: Hard
Playstyle: Fast 9
Carries: Azir, Lucian, and Renekton

Strengths
Shyvana casts much faster thanks to Seraphine and Swain giving extra mana. Azir adds strong AD damage to balance your team’s DPS. Renekton and Vi also create a steady frontline, giving Shyvana space to deal damage safely.
When to Play
- Play this comp when you start with early Shurima units or when you find strong AP items.
- Additionally, it performs well if the lobby is not heavily contesting Azir or Shyvana.
3. ShuriMoon—Shyvana with Diana and Xerath
Difficulty: Medium
Playstyle: Fast 8
Carries: Xerath, Seraphine, Diana

Strengths
Diana and Xerath provide strong crowd control and early pressure, giving Shyvana more time to cast. The comp deals both AP and mixed damage, which makes it harder for enemies to itemize. Seraphine also boosts cast speed and adds team utility.
How to Play
- Slow-roll a bit at level 7 to stabilize
- Then go to level 8 and finish your board with Shyvana, Xerath, and Seraphine.
Conclusion
Overall, Shyvana is a very flexible AP carry in TFT Set 16. She deals steady and strong damage in both Fast 9 and Fast 8 comps. Moreover, she becomes even stronger when you pair her with champions that give extra mana, such as Seraphine or Swain.
