Playing as Shen
Tips to maximize your impact
- Place your blade behind your opponent
Place your spirit blade behind your opponent before a trade, then cast Twilight Assault (Q): if it passes through them on the way back, your autos hit much harder.
- Start your trades with a spell
Start a trade with an ability: Ki Barrier (passive) then gives you a shield, and hitting champions lowers its cooldown.
- Taunt through the wave
Cast Shadow Dash (E) through the wave to surprise your opponent: the taunt forces them to come to you, and the spell restores energy if it hits.
- Keep your blade near your carry
In teamfights, keep your spirit blade near your carry: Spirit's Refuge (W) forms where it is and blocks autos against your allies there.
- Don't wait on your R
Cast Stand United (R) as soon as an ally is in danger: the shield already maxes out at 60% missing health, and the channel delays your arrival.
Playing against Renata Glasc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.
- Step up after a missed Handshake
Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.
- Spread out from your carries
Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.
- Don't hand them a kill
When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
