Ethereal Blades

This Set 11 Shen hero augment makes him a late game threat to most boards. Watch him scale up his ability and one-shot tanks during fights!

Final Board Setup

Shen transcends his usual support role and becomes a monster of a carry with the Ethereal Blades Augment. As with the other hero augments, a Shen without Ethereal Blades will land you a solid top 8 ranking. By stacking Behemoths, you allow Shen to scale up his rageblades and 1v9 the round.

Early Game

Your early game board should revolve around playing Behemoths or Ghostly to support Shen. Double Rageblade on Shen is a must have. Once you get to level 6, start slow rolling for Shen and Yorick 3*.
