How to beat Shen

Common role: Top

A peel tank who taunts your team and shields an ally anywhere with a global ult.

What makes Shen dangerous

Shen taunts enemies to attack him (E), blocks auto-attacks for allies with his spirit blade, and his global ultimate shields and teleports him to any ally across the map — turning fights and saving carries. He's a low-damage but extremely durable peel tank who enables his team map-wide.

How to play against Shen

• 1Ping his ultimate — when he ults, he's about to appear in another lane/fight with a shield. Collapse before it lands or back off.
• 2Dodge his E taunt dash — it forces you to attack him. Sidestep it and his lockdown/peel fails.
• 3He has low personal damage — you don't lose much by ignoring him. Kite him and focus his carries.
• 4Force fights when his ult is down or on the other side of the map — that's when his team lacks his peel.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Low personal damage — a pure peel tank.
• ✓E taunt is a dodgeable dash.
• ✓Strong when his ult is up — punish when it's down.
• ✓% health and magic damage beat his tankiness.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Shen's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  기 보호막

  스킬을 사용하면 쉔이 보호막을 얻습니다. 다른 챔피언에게 스킬로 영향을 주면 이 효과의 재사용 대기시간이 감소합니다.

• Q
  황혼 강습

  쉔이 기의 검을 불러들여 공격해 대상의 최대 체력에 비례한 피해를 입힙니다. 기의 검이 적 챔피언과 충돌하면 이 공격이 크게 강화되며, 기의 검에 부딪힌 적들은 쉔으로부터 달아날 때 둔화됩니다.

• W
  의지의 결계

  쉔이나 기의 검 근처 아군에 대한 공격이 차단됩니다.

• E
  그림자 돌진

  쉔이 지정한 방향으로 돌진해, 경로상의 적들을 도발합니다.

  Strong: a taunt dash that forces you to attack him. Weak: a dodgeable dash — sidestep it and his lockdown/peel fails.

• R
  단결된 의지

  쉔이 공격 받는 아군을 포착하여 해당 위치로 순간 이동하며 아군에게 보호막을 쳐 줍니다.

  Strong: a global shield + teleport to any ally, turning fights map-wide. Weak: it's telegraphed — ping it, and force fights when it's on cooldown.

Itemization

Shen is a peel/global tank. Dodge his E taunt, play % health/magic damage, and force fights when his ult is on cooldown or away. Ping his ult to warn allies.
