Abilities

Ki Barrier

Ki Barrier
STATIC COOLDOWN:	10

Innate: After completing an ability's effects, Shen shields himself for 50 − 101 (based on level) (+ 14% bonus health) for 2.5 seconds. If the triggering ability successfully affected at least one champion, Ki Barrier's  cooldown is reduced by 4 − 7.5 (based on level) seconds.

Shen's power manifests as a Spirit Blade that he can control with his abilities.

• The Spirit Blade spawns with Shen, teleports closer to him if he gets too far away, and instantly blinks to him if he uses any global blink ( Teleport, Recall, or Stand United). It will also dissappear if Shen dies and reappear upon respawning.
• Enemies see an arrow pointing from Shen to the location of his Spirit Blade even if it is not visible.
• Twilight Assault will grant the shield if the Spirit Blade reaches Shen. If it is stopped, no shield is granted.
• Spirit's Refuge will give the shield after the protective zone disappears.
• Shadow Dash will give the shield when the dash ends.
  • If the dash is interrupted, the shield will instead be received the moment the crowd control source is applied, before damage calculation (if any).

Edit

Twilight Assault

Twilight Assault
EFFECT RADIUS:	Global
WIDTH:	160
SPEED:	2000 - 5000
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	140 / 130 / 120 / 110 / 100 energy
COOLDOWN:	8 / 7.25 / 6.5 / 5.75 / 5

Active: Shen recalls his Spirit Blade to his location. Enemy champions within its path are slowed for the next 2 seconds while moving away from Shen.

Slow: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35%

Once it arrives, Shen empowers his next 3 basic attacks within 8 seconds to gain  75 bonus range and deal bonus magic damage.

Bonus Magic Damage: 10 − 40 (based on level) (+ 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4% (+ 1.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health) Total Damage: 30 − 120 (based on level) (+ 6 / 7.5 / 9 / 10.5 / 12% (+ 4.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health)

If the Spirit Blade collides with at least one enemy champion on its way to Shen, the empowerment is enhanced, dealing increased bonus magic damage and granting Shen  50% bonus attack speed while it is active.

Increased Bonus Damage: 10 − 40 (based on level) (+ 5 / 5.5 / 6 / 6.5 / 7% (+ 2% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health) Total Increased Damage: 30 − 120 (based on level) (+ 15 / 16.5 / 18 / 19.5 / 21% (+ 6% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health)

Empowered attacks against monsters instead deal 100% bonus damage, but their total damage is capped.

Maximum Monster Damage: 120 / 140 / 160 / 180 / 200

• The Spirit Blade will stop in place upon colliding with Wind Wall or Unbreakable. If this occurs, Shen will not receive the empowered attacks.
• When it is called, the Spirit Blade also checks for units which's gameplay radius it overlaps which (equal to a 0 radius check) before flying off, allowing it to hit enemies whose center is behind the missile origin.

Edit

Spirit's Refuge

Spirit's Refuge
EFFECT RADIUS:	350
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	40 energy
COOLDOWN:	18 / 16.5 / 15 / 13.5 / 12

Active: Shen primes his Spirit Blade, creating an area around it. If Shen or an allied champion enter or are within the area, or after 2 seconds, the Spirit Blade creates a protective zone around it for 1.75 seconds, blocking all non- turret basic attacks that hit Shen or allied champions in the area.

• Casting Flash during Shadow Dash will end the dash prematurely, but the end-of-dash collision check will hit enemies at the blink's location still.
  • This still cannot affect the same enemy more than once.

Edit

Stand United

Stand United
TARGET RANGE:	Global
CAST TIME:	none
COOLDOWN:	200 / 180 / 160

Minimum Shield: 140 / 320 / 500 (+ 135% AP) (+ 17.5% of his bonus health) Maximum Shield: 224 / 512 / 800 (+ 216% AP) (+ 28% of his bonus health)

Upon completing the channel, Shen and his Spirit Blade blink to the target ally's location, placing himself and his Spirit Blade between them and the nearest enemy champion. Shen also destroys any projectiles targeting him at the time of completion.

• Stand United can target allies via the mini map or on their portraits or by using the F2 - F5 keys (none of this can be done if Shen is affected by nearsight or his target is untargetable).
• Shen will turn to face towards his target ally at the start of the channel.
  • If the target is stealthed, enemies could, in theory, use this to estimate their location.
• Shen will channel so long as his target is alive (even if the granted shield is broken). If his target dies, the channel is canceled and Stand United goes on full cooldown.
  • Interrupting Stand United's channel will not remove the shield prematurely.
• The target's screen will glow purple to telegraph that Shen has targeted them with Stand United.
  • It will change back when the channel ends.
• The following table refers for interactions while Shen is channeling:
