Shen Ability

Reality Tear

Reality Tear

20 / 70
Passive: On cast, attacks gain 25/40/777 stacking bonus magic damage. Starting from the third cast, gain true damage instead. Active: Gain 0.15 Shield for 3 seconds, then slice open a rift on the largest group of champions dealing the Passive's bonus damage to all enemies within. Enemies have their Attack Speed slowed by 50%/50%/99% while allies within gain 80%/80%/999% Attack Speed, both rapidly decaying over 3 seconds. Shen always gains his rift's full bonus for this duration.

How the Shen page is built

Where the data comes from

This Shen page is built from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Ladder games are sampled across regions and ranks, read, and filtered to the current set and patch. The performance numbers, recommended items, synergies, and comps shown all come from how Shen was actually played in those games.

What this page shows

The summary shows how Shen performs, with its average placement, top 4 rate, and pick rate, and the insights break this down by star level and by item. Further down you see its traits and synergy partners, the items it is built with most, and the comps that run it, ordered by how often each one appears.

This Shen data is a snapshot of the current meta and shifts with patches and balance changes. Use the page as a starting point and adapt items and positioning to your lobby.
