Shen the Eye of Twilight

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.

MetaBot Tips

  • Shen is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Shen secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
  • Shen tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
  • Shen has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
  • Shen has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
