Shen
Patch changes
Patch 26.16Aug 11, 2026
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.
