Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q empowered autos and E poke, as Shen lacks sustain and damage to match your early trades.
- At level 6, you become significantly stronger with Maiden providing constant pressure and damage that Shen cannot effectively answer.
How to Trade
- You should look to land E to trap Shen, then walk up for Q auto and W cage to extend trades while your ghouls deal damage.
- Always try to have 3-4 graves ready before engaging, as the ghoul damage is crucial for winning extended fights.
Wave Control
- You want to slow push early waves to build up graves, then crash for recalls or roam timings when you have Maiden advantage.
- Avoid hard shoving without vision, as Shen's taunt can set up easy ganks when you're overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not waste your W cage on minions or use it reactively after Shen has already engaged on you.
- Never fight without ghouls up, as your damage output drops dramatically and Shen can easily win trades with his shield and sustained damage.
