Shen, the Eye of Twilight, is a melee tank champion. In fights Shen is a very durable champion who deals magic damage while supporting the team, with shields in the kit. Here are the augments Shen players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Each takedown adds bonus Health, which also makes your Ki Barrier (passive) shield bigger, so you get harder to kill as the round goes on.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
The extra Health makes you sturdier while you stand in front of your team, and it also raises the shield from Ki Barrier (passive).
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 3.5% of your max Health.
Every Attack, including the empowered ones from Twilight Assault (Q), adds physical damage based on your own max Health, so a tanky build still hits hard.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Shen players take it.
