To Be Shen What You Must Know?

Well this is my first thread and I want to make this clear. I have played _Shen_for so long now that I want to main it. Well to begin I have started using the normal item set which is usually recommended. However, as I used _Shen_not only I've learned the potential of this mighty character but I have also learned a bit of jungling with him. Here are some of the facts I have noticed.

Pros > 1. _Shen_has very poor movement speed > 2. He has poor health regen > 3. He has very low damage input > 4. He's attack speed is also very slow

Cons >1. He has high health at level 18 >2. He has high armor value >3. He has high magic resist value >4. He has no man but instead he has energy

Now to level Shen for Jungling, you need to know couple of facts that I have learned while Jungling. For example what items we should use for Shen jungle and how effective they are while usage. As I have played tens of games with Shen, I realized it is not potentially strong to use him as Jungler. However, it is not impossible to do so. So here we are with my best strats as a Jungle Shen;

• Items: Well considerably, items are essential to any champion in the League. However, what items is used is important. One has the opportunity to use all of the following items. However, a good player always keeps in mind that a jungler's need is money.

So out of all these which one should we pick? Depending on the situation of course our itemset changes dramatically. For example if you are laning against high **Magic **valued enemies you would definitely need : >

Also, against Damage based enemies you would like to have the following set: >

Well let's conclude to this it is impossible to be tank and not to have all these awesome health based items in our inventory. Now I want to point out a perfect sequence of itemset that I would always use as Shen:

> This Item Is A Necessity For Jungler Shen needs Health, and Magic Resist or Armor; :This set would provide enough health, armor, and magic resist for Shen to survive combat. Health Value: +1100 Magic Resist Value: +70 Armor Value: +50 Additional:

• Increased healing by 20%
• Given momentum at 100 stack which will provide movement speed and would discharge upon attack slowing the enemy which has been targeted

> Shen needs damage along with Health, Magic Resist, or Armor; : Buying these items would not only increase your survivability but also would increase your damage input. Attack Damage: +150 Attack Speed: +40% Health: +750 Magic Resist: +40 Health Regen: +100% Additional

• Upon attack reduced enemy's Armor by +5%, max 30% for 6 sec
• Dealing physical damage increase Movement Speed by 20 for 2 sec
• Deals 40 Magic Damage
• Reduces enemy's Magic Resist by 5, stacks up till 30
• Deals extra Damage of 5+1% / 40+1% of champion's Max Health to the enemy targeted

> And as for boots I always recommend to buy Armor Boots

• Summoner's Spell: : definitely the option of smite is always possible for the Jungle but what else can we pick? : If you have the ability to mix your "E (Taunt)" with Flash, get flash for sure as it provides you with escape and invade abilities. : If you are new with Jungling and do not know if you can survive invading the jungle monsters get Heal

Now let's cover some Jungle facts:

1. Never kill a monster with smite: You would get more experience if you could kill a monster with your attacks. This is very handy when invading the Blue Buff in the Jungle.
2. Get the Blue Buff if starting on bottom base or get Red when starting top base: You need to always keep an eye on the bottom lane so get the monsters of the top lane first and then move to the buttome lane which you have to secure kills for allies.
3. Ult, Dash, Kill: Always remember when an ally is in a fight (not necessarily low on health) ult to them when the time is right and taunt the enemies so you would secure Kill, Fame, Reputation, and of course GOLD.
4. Taunt enemies under turret: Offense is the best defense, so let the taunted enemies attack you while you could stay under the protection of turret and Kill.
5. Your W needs to be PRIORITY: when invading jungle, your "W shield" is always important to reduce the damage of the enemy monsters. It is always a good way to mix it with the "Q mark" which would help you regain health.
6. Invade after Invade: because of your ult you may be able to invade to lanes in the same time. Just Ult to the champion of the other lane after helping push another lane.

That was it all that I could think of was gathered and posted above. Please let me know if you had any other experience with _Shen_or if you have any recommendation for Shen I am always happy to learn new things and to discuss.
