Passive - Ki Strike

  • Every few seconds, Shen's next attack deals bonus damage and restores some energy.
  • Further basic attacks ready his next empowered attack sooner.

Q - Vorpal Blade

  • Throw a blade, damaging and marking the targeted enemy. Any time Shen or his allies attack the marked enemy, they restore some health over time.
  • If the blade kills the target outright, Shen gets a partial heal.

W - Feint

  • Gain a shield. While it persists, attacks refresh Ki Strike faster.

E - Shadow Dash

  • Dash in a straight line, taunting and damaging all champions Shen collides with and restoring energy for each one.

R - Stand United

  • Target an allied champion anywhere on the map to grant them a shield. After a few seconds, if they're still alive, teleport to that ally.
