Starting Item: dorans-shield


Core Item: mercurys-treads sunfire-cape aegis-of-the-legion


Final Item : mercurys-treads sunfire-cape aegis-of-the-legion force-of-nature guardian-angel thornmail

Usually you will not be able to get a guardian angel or a thornmail unless the game turns out to be very long .

I see people with warmog for extra Health but I think its unnecessary to buy warmog because your don't need alot of hp. You will rather get thornmail or guardian angel instead.
Introduction
Shen is a Support Tank who can't really do damage. Don't worry if you can't do damage or get kills because the point of a Support is to get assists. Help your lane partner by taunting your opponent or pop in your ult when your teammate is in need.
Masteries
I use the mastery 1/21/8.

1 on Offense for stronger Exhaust.

21 on Defense for stronger armor.

8 on Utility for stronger Ghost.
Summoner Spells
[summoners/exhaust.png][summoners/ghost.png]

Explanation:



[img=summoners/exhaust.png

Great Spell for Chasing or Running Away


[summoners/ghost.png]

Great Spell for Running Away




[summoners/flash.png]

You can use flash instead of Exhaust, but your E Shadow dance works similar as flash so I take Ghost instead of Flash.
Skills
[skills/shen/p.png] Passive: Ki Strike

Every 8 seconds, Shen's next attack deals bonus damage.

Explanation:



Great for early game fights, but gets useless at late game.


[skills/shen/q.png] Q: Vorpal Blade

Deals 50 / 95 / 140 / 185 / 230 (+65% of ability power) magic damage to target unit. That unit becomes life tapped for 5 seconds, healing any champions who attack it for 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 (+20% of ability power) health over 3 seconds.

Cost 70
/ 65 / 60 / 55 / 50 energy

Range 475


Explanation:



Use this to harass your enemy or use it on minion to gain hp. Hitting the big minion with Q and attacking it will regenerate about 100 hp.


[skills/shen/w.png] W: Feint

Shen enters a defensive stance, shielding the next 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (+60% of ability power) damage. Lasts up to 1.5 seconds.

Cost 45 energy

Range 20


Explanation:



Great spell to keep yourself alive. Use it before taunting your enemy so that you won't get damaged. Also Great when somone ignites you use this skill for the shield to take the damage for you.


[skills/shen/e.png] E: Shadow Dash

Shen rapidly dashes to a target location, Taunting enemies he collides with for 0.8 / 1.1 / 1.4 / 1.7 / 2 second(s).
Restores 50 Energy if you hit a champion.

Cost 120 / 115 / 110 / 105 / 100 energy

Range 25000


Explanation:



This skill is one of the skill that makes Shen a great champion.

You can use this to taunt any enemy for a kill .
or
You can use it to run away from enemy. (You can Shadow Dance through walls.)


[skills/shen/r.png] R: Stand United

Places a shield on both a target allied champion and Shen, absorbing 200/475/750 (+100% of ability power) damage for 7.5 seconds. After channeling for 2.5 seconds, Shen teleports to the target's location.

Cost 50 energy

Range 25000


Explanation:



One of the most annoying ult for opponent. When your teammate is about to die, use your ult and then taunt them to let your teammate escape. You can also make a 1v1 fight into a 1v2 fight for your partner to win the fight.

(Make sure your not getting attacked by your opponent when you're using your ult.You can get killed before you are using your ult !!!)


Early Game
Starting item: [items/dorans-shield.png]

Great Starting item because of the extra Health, Armor, and Health Regen.

Early game you don't do any damage but use your taunt[skills/shen/e.png] on enemy for your laning partner to attack them and harass them with your [skills/shen/q.png]
Mid Game
On your first time back to your base buy [items/boots-of-speed.png] , [items/sunfire-cape.png] and 1 or 2 [items/health-potion.png] .




Since Shen is a bad farmer, Sunfire cape[items/sunfire-cape.png] will help you farm minions better.


Mid Game you have your Ult[skills/shen/r.png] ready. Every 5-10 second check your teammate if they need your ult.
Late Game
By late game you should have [items/mercurys-treads.png] [items/sunfire-cape.png] [items/aegis-of-the-legion.png] [items/force-of-nature.png]


Late game you will have alot of hp and armor. You can start tanking the turrets or Baron.


If it becomes Very Late Game you can get [items/thornmail.png] and [items/guardian-angel.png] with [items/elixir-of-agility.png] [items/elixir-of-brilliance.png] [items/elixir-of-fortitude.png] if you have extra gold :)
Team Fights
In team fights keep taunting[skills/shen/e.png] and [skills/shen/q.png] your opponents and if you find one of your teammate dieing use your ult[skills/shen/r.png] to save him.

Your [skills/shen/q.png] in a teamfight can help you teammate because of the amount of Hp they will gain by attacking them. Little Hp will still help ALOT in teamfights.
Final Comments
I hope you will start getting good record using my Shen guide.

    why don't you get warmogs on shen, helps great with shen's vorpal blade, when healing ally units with it, that way you have some health instead of just armour.

    Firstly, you have 6 points in Feint... Also, you say in your first trip back, buy boots and a sunfire in MID game. Also, you dont explain runes or masteries NEARLY enough. Please put more effort into your guide.
