As Shen

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.

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.

// 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.

Notes

The Spirit Blade spawns with Shen, teleports closer to him if he gets too far away, and instantly blinks to him if he uses any global blink (Teleport, Recall, or ). It will also dissappear if Shen dies and reappear upon respawning.
Enemies see an arrow pointing from Shen to the location of his Spirit Blade even if it is not visible.
will grant the shield if the Spirit Blade reaches Shen. If it is stopped, no shield is granted. It will grant the cooldown reduction upon hitting an enemy champion.
will grant the shield and/or the cooldown reduction after the protective zone disappears. It does not need to block attacks to trigger the cooldown reduction, just touch an ally champion at any point of the duration.
will grant the shield when the dash ends. It will grant the cooldown reduction upon hitting an enemy champion.
If the dash is interrupted, the shield will instead be received the moment the crowd control source is applied, before damage calculation (if any).
will give the shield and/or the cooldown reduction upon completing the channel.
