Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and sustain with Q poke, but Shen can trade back effectively with Q empowered autos if he positions well.
- At level 6, you maintain the advantage since your R provides massive healing and damage while Shen's R is primarily utility-focused for teamfights.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q1 or Q2 for poke, then immediately backing off to avoid Shen's W zone and Q-empowered auto trades.
- When committing to extended trades, use E to reposition for Q sweet spots and save W for when Shen tries to disengage or all-in you.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish priority and deny Shen's ability to use R for map plays.
- Maintain a slow push or freeze when ahead to zone Shen from CS while staying healthy through passive healing on minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E aggressively early game as it's your only escape tool against Shen's taunt engage.
- Avoid fighting inside Shen's W zone as it negates your auto attacks and reduces your damage output significantly during trades.
