So I decided to try and put together a Shyvana build in advance, here they are,

Shyvana build (I put this together for once I unlock her):

Start:

Hunter's machete and refillable potion

Finish first:

Skirmisher's - Bloodrazor Titanic Hydra Merc's treads

End: Banshee's Black cleaver Randuin's

Keystone: Strength of the ages

Runes:

9 Mark of Armor pen. 9 Seal of armor 9 glyph of MR 3 Quint of AD

Does this work? Or is it a bit static?

I have also a pure tank build here:

Thornmail, Randuin's, Warmog's, Banshee's, Skirmisher's - Cinderhulk, GA and Titanic

Start with Hunter's Medallion instead of Machete. Shyvana's AoE sustains better with Medallion because she is constantly damaging all the camps.

Boots are always game dependent. Merc boots are only good vs AP Heavy or CC heavy teams. Ninja Tabis are better for AD auto attackers.

Black Cleaver seems like it would be good, but its meh. Shyvana doesn't really benefit from Armor pen. The items you are building does, but that is only half your dmg.

Viel is only good vs Burst mages, otherwise get Visage every time.

I would do Skirmishers - Bloodrazer, Titanic, Boots, Deadmans (Shyvana needs the ability to stick to people, deadman's helps with that. Stick with Randuins if you want to focus on Teamfights), Visage, and Blade of the Ruined King

If taking Bloodrazor, I wouldn't suggest Hydra. With hyrda you need atleast 3K hp to make the damage count (like >60AD). With your build you'll have that hp later in the game not early on. Also bloodrazor +bork is all abt AS so go fervor or bloodlust.

AS Damage dealer. item 1416 , item 1001 --> item 3153 --> item 3742 --> item 3156 --> Banshee/randuins/visiage/ anything you want to be tanky or just go more AD item 3072

For pure tank, build is good. take Grasp of undying instead of Strength of Ages. You need sustenance as well, GoU gives 2.5%max hp lifesteal, that is good to keep you alive in team fights.. unless you want to ult and runaway.

my usually tanky build item 1401 / item 1413 , item 3748 , item 1001 ( depending on team i pick ), item 3065 / item 3102 / item 3742 , item 3512 , item 3083 , item 3153 . Based on enemy team, AP/AD/ AS or crit (e.g. jhin), burst, mobile champs etc. gives decent stats +split pushing/pressure. I don't take thornmail becuz shyv with drag is tanky enough, she needs more hp to do damage (hydra) and 2.5% lifesteal.

Edit: I have 30% AS from runes, i don't need to worry abt AS items.

If I may ask, what should I work the boots into?

If you are ahead and they lack AD/Magic damage go item 3009 - to catch every mobile champ.( when w is activated your MS will be 500+) If their team has good Magic damage ( usually mid and sup) + CC get item 3111 . If you want more AS item 3006 , if you get these then bloodrazor+bork should give you ~1.8 AS. So don't build any more AS items ,go for more AD or Sustenance
