Elden Ring Build Turns Player into League of Legends' Shyvana
An Elden Ring player managed to deck their Tarnished out in gear inspired by League of Legends character Shyvana. Elden Ring's impressive character creation tools have allowed players to insert many pop culture favorites into the Lands Between. One build brought Lord of the Rings' Gandalf to the FromSoftware experience, for example. Meanwhile, other users have designed characters that resemble The Witcher 3's Ciri, some of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Nigel Thornberry of The Wild Thornberrys fame.
Elden Ring hit store shelves almost exactly one month ago and still remains the talk of the town. While some players are just venturing into the Lands Between for the first time, countless others have already beaten the game and become Elden Lords. And as developer FromSoftware continues to improve upon the experience with post-launch updates, discussion about the highs and lows of Elden Ring will undoubtedly persist for quite some time to come. Needless to say, the character creator will ensure the title continues to receive plenty of mileage online.
Elden Ring player and Reddit user thecrittman managed to mold their Tarnished after League of Legends' Shyvana, the Half-Dragon best known for her fiery powers. Thecrittman's Dragon Priest build notably incorporates the use of the Dragonfire spell and Grafted Dragon Fist weapon, both of which lets the player character emulate Shyvana's innate dragon abilities. It's quite an impressive sight to behold, too. See Tarnished Shyvana in action via the gameplay video linked below:
Evidently, the Dragon Priest build in Elden Ring permits a lot of flexibility. And thecrittman's use of some League of Legends Shyvana inspiration serves as the icing on the cake, evidenced by the video above. It's a shame the clip doesn't show how formidable this version of the Tarnished can be in combat against equally formidable foes.
The latest from publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer FromSoftware has already proven an incredible success story. Within three weeks of launch, for instance, Elden Ring managed to shift a staggering 12-plus million units worldwide across PC and consoles. Of course, the two companies are well aware of the special IP they have on their hands. Bandai Namco noted in a recent press release that Elden Ring will expand beyond gaming into other mediums of entertainment, though the publisher's specific plans on this front presently remain under wraps. Regardless of what ultimately comes to pass, fans will no doubt want to simply explore the mythos a little bit more.
Elden Ring is out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
