Shen lore:

Among the secretive, Ionian warriors known as the Kinkou, Shen serves as their leader, the Eye of Twilight. He longs to remain free from the confusion of emotion, prejudice, and ego, and walks the unseen path of dispassionate judgment between the spirit realm and the physical world. Tasked with enforcing the equilibrium between them, Shen wields blades of steel and arcane energy against any who would threaten it.

Shen tips:

  • Keep an eye on allies and be ready to save them with your teleport.
  • Leverage your Energy to get a long-term advantage over Mana users.

Playing Against Shen

  • Be ready to dodge Shen's taunt and punish him if he misses.
  • Once Shen reaches level 6, watch out for his global-range ultimate, which can turn fights quickly.
