How to Play Shen in ARAM Mayhem

You play Shen as the frontline that keeps your carries alive: stay near them and place your blade where fights happen so Spirit's Refuge (W) blocks attacks on allies around it. Commit with Shadow Dash (E) to taunt divers, then pull Twilight Assault (Q) through enemy champions for its empowered attacks. Goliath and Heartsteel give you a huge health pool, and Thornmail punishes attackers who hit you.
