Runes
Greater Quintessence of Health Regeneration: // Health regeneration quintessences allow
Shen to have insane sustain. The heal from
Vorpal Blade combined with the heal regeneration gives Shen the ability to shove the opponent out of lane, while staying at high health yourself.
Greater Mark of Attack Speed: // I grab attack speed marks in order to proc Shen's passive,
Ki Strike more often, as
Ki Strike's cooldown is reduced by 1 every time
Shen attacks an enemy. This allows for higher damage output.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: // Having some extra magic resist is always important to have, especially because
Shen is a tank. Get these even if the enemy top laner has no attacks that do magic damage.
Greater Seal of Armor: // Armor seals are very useful. The majority of top laners that you will face will use attack damage. Even if the enemy is ability power based, grab these runes anyways. They will help you survive throughout the whole game.

Ability Explanation






Tips and Tricks
- Use
Vorpal Blade on enemies during team fights to let your teammates life steal some extra health.
- Using
Vorpal Blade with
Ki Strike will give you a nice chunk of health and do some moderate damage at any stage of the game.
- At rank two of
Vorpal Blade, the ability will come off cooldown before the debuff disappears on the enemy champion.
Feint: //
Feint gives you a very nice shield that absorbs damage. This ability is useful for soaking up damage during team fights and trading damage in lane. Level
Feint up last. However, if you're having some trouble in lane, you can level this up second.
Tips and Tricks- While on the run from enemies, try to spam
Feint, as it could save your life.
Feint is also great for baiting enemies into thinking that you're about to die. Bait them into a dangerous situation and pop
Feint. Sometimes, this can lead to a kill.
- Use
Feint in lane to win trades and absorb damage.
Shadow Dash: //
Shadow Dash is one of the most versatile abilities in the whole game. Shen dashes rapidly in a direction, taunting every opponent he collides with. This ability has many different uses. Use
Shadow Dash to set up ganks, chase opponents, escape perilous situations, and catch enemies off guard.
Tips and Tricks- //
Shadow Dash causes enemies to do 50% less damage to you. There isn't a large chance of you dying if you taunt an enemy.
- // Use
Shadow Dash to dash through walls to catch opponents or escape them.
- // Spamming
Shadow Dash at the end of
Stand United will allow you to sometimes cancel the ultimate.
Stand United: //
Shen's ultimate gives an allied champion a shield and teleports
Shen to them after three seconds. This ability is what makes
Shen feared and banned in solo que. This ultimate will have your allies saying, "OMG THIS SHEN IS SO PRO." A great
Shen player can provide global map protection with
Stand United. Using
Shen's ultimate correctly can allow you to win in team fights by protecting the carry. Max
Stand United the moment you're able to at levels 6, 11, and 16.
Tips and Tricks
- // Spamming
Shadow Dash at the end of
Stand United sometimes cancels the ultimate, allowing you to give an allied champion a shield, but stay in the same position.
- // Using
Stand United correctly takes some practice and coordination. Don't be bummed if you mess up a couple times.
- //
- While on the run from enemies, try to spam
