Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE KI BARRIER

After casting a spell, Shen gets a shield. Affecting other champions reduces the cooldown of this effect.

1 TWILIGHT ASSAULT

Shen recalls his spirit blade to attack with it, dealing damage based on the target's max health. The attacks are greatly empowered if it collides with an enemy champion, and all collided enemies are slowed while running away from Shen.

2 SPIRIT'S REFUGE

Shen sends his spirit blade to an ally, creating a zone that blocks enemy attacks.

3 SHADOW DASH

Shen dashes in a direction, taunting enemies in his path

ULTIMATE STAND UNITED

Shen shields target allied champion from incoming damage, and soon after teleports to their location.
