Shen Abilities
At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability Twilight Assault on Shen. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise Twilight Assault into Shadow Dash and at last Spirit's Refuge. Twilight Assault is a very strong ability of Shen in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called Ki Barrier and there is no need to set it manually on a Shen Build.
After casting a spell, Shen gets a shield. Affecting other champions reduces the cooldown of this effect.
