Ethereal Blades Hero's Core
In TFT Season 11, Shen possesses an Ethereal Blades Hero's Core, allowing him to become an incredibly reliable damage dealer for the lineup. Its effects are as follows:- Acquire 1 Shen.
- The strongest Shen unit in the team gains an additional 3 attack range and his abilities now deal an extra 100% damage.
The Ethereal Blades Core enhances Shen's attack range and adds a significant amount of damageThis means that now, with the Ethereal Blades core, Shen will become a long-range attacker with a range of 4. Additionally, Shen will deal 200/250/335% standard damage after every 3 attacks.Building a Shen Carry Composition
Since Shen is a 2-cost unit, we will opt for a slow-roll strategy at level 6 for maximum optimization. However, you can refer to the rolling odds chart for Season 11 below to estimate the most accurate rolling timing.
Rolling odds chart for TFT Season 11Level 6 Composition
This is the most crucial stage, as we will have to stay at this level for quite some time to slow roll for a 3-star Shen. Therefore, we should opt for a beefy composition to soak up damage and eliminate as many of the opponent's units as possible. Here, we can aim for 4 Colossus to gain additional armor, 2 Specters for a thin shield layer, and slot in 2 Soul Reapers for some extra damage for Shen.- Composition: Malphite - Darius - Caitlyn - Yorick - Shen - Thresh
- Origin/Class: 4 Colossus - 2 Soul Reapers - 2 Specters
Level 6 Shen Carry Composition in TFT Season 11Level 8 Composition
Since Shen deals standard damage, we don't need to focus too much on damage output. We should opt to activate the 6 Colossus trait for better durability, allowing Shen more time to freely deal damage.Furthermore, since standard damage occurs every third attack, we should optimize Shen's attack speed items. In my opinion, we can use 2 Zeke's Herald and for the final item, consider Red Buff if facing enemies with high healing potential or Giant Slayer against resilient compositions.- Composition: Malphite - Yorick - Shen - Thresh - Illaoi - Ornn - Sett - Udyr
- Origin/Class: 6 Colossus - 2 Soul Reapers - 2 Specters - 2 Vanguards
