For the start item of MR Shen I choosed Mercury's Treads,when you really wanna play him on MR then choose this and non other boots.For his second item I take Force of Nature,its always good for his taunt,and gives you MR and HP Regeneration.His third item is Spirit Visage,its a good combination with Force of Nature.His fourth item is Guardian Angel,its becasue the same background as the Guardian Angel from the Shen below.Then comes Banshee's Veil,its everytime a good item versus Mages because of its Passive.And his last item is Aegis of the Legion like Iron Solari its a good support item,and gives you some armor and MR.
The start item for AP Shen is Ionian Boots of Lucidity,trust me you will need the Cooldown Reduction.His second item is Rylai's Crystal Scepter,it gives you a good Passive on your abillities and gives you a little bit from a Tank.As his third item I choosed Moonflair Spellblade,its the reason why you dont buy Mercury's Treads and it gives a litlle bit AP.For his fourth item I buy Mejai's Soulstealer,its the Item with the most AP in LoL,and at the end it gives you the needed Cooldown Reduction.His fith item is Zhonya's Hourglass,it gives you some armor to save Mejais and 100 AP so why not.As his last item I choose a Magic Penentration one with some Tank things too,so I choosed Haunting Guise.
The Skills for MR ShenAs a MR Shen you need to catch up skill shots, Feint and Shadow Dash are the best abilities for that.The damage from Vorpal Blade isnt important because youre just there to get the whole magic damage.
The Skills for AP ShenAs a AP Shen you will need the damage skills first,begin with Vorpal Blade and Shadow Dash and max them both first.
Normally I take Flash and Exhaust,Exhaust to slow the enemy and get away or slow the enemy to come faster with Shadow Dash on him.Flash is the same,get away or get faster to an enemy for the taunt.For other good Summoner Spells there are Teleport, Heal and Ignite.All other Summoner Spell arent good for Armor Shen.
The Summoner Spells for MR Shen
For MR Shen I would choose Flash and Cleanse,other good Summoner Spells are Teleport, Ghost and Heal.I take Cleanse because there often stuns from the skill shots you catch up so with Cleanse youre ready all the time for something like that.
The Summoner Spells for AP Shen
As AP Shen I normally choose take Ghost and Teleport,I take Teleport because I dont want that I waste my ulti for just teleport,on AP it guards for to much Damage that I would waste it.Other good Summoner Spells are Heal, Ignite, Exhaust and Flash.
The Runes for MR ShenThe runes for MR Shen are Armor and MR too
,but I improved a little bit HP Regeneration in here.Here the focus is on MR.
The Runes for Armor ShenFor the AP runes I choosed some HP Regeneration,Ability Power and Cooldown Reduction,but the most interesting are the Quintessences,I improve some Energy in there,thats because his Shadow Dash uses so much energy.
I wanna thank Phil Collins for his thread to look in jhoijhoi's Karthus guide and I wanna thank her too.
