Ethereal Blades “Hero's Core”
In TFT season 11, Shen possesses a “Hero's Core” named Ethereal Blades, allowing him to become an extremely reliable primary damage dealer for the team composition. Its effects are as follows:- Acquire 1 Shen.
- The strongest Shen unit in the team receives an additional 3 attack range and his abilities will now deal an extra 100% damage.
Ethereal Blades core enhances Shen's attack range and adds significant 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% bonus true 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 optimal efficiency. However, you can refer to the rolling probability chart in season 11 below to determine the most accurate rolling timing.
Rolling probability chart in 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 withstand damage and eliminate as many opponent's chess pieces as possible. Here, we can aim for 4 Colossus for additional armor, 2 Shadow for a thin shield layer, and slot in 2 Ethereal for some extra damage for Shen.- Composition: Malphite - Darius - Caitlyn - Yorick - Shen - Thresh
- Race/Class: 4 Colossus - 2 Ethereal - 2 Shadow
Level 6 Shen Carry Composition in TFT season 11Level 8 Composition
Since Shen deals bonus true damage, we don't need to focus too much on damage output. We should activate the 6 Colossus set to enhance durability, giving Shen more time to unleash his damage freely.Moreover, since the bonus true damage occurs every 3rd attack, we should optimize attack speed items for Shen. In my opinion, we can use 2 Zeke's Herald and for the last item, consider using Red Buff if the enemy team has a lot of healing capabilities or Giant Slayer if facing a team with high durability.- Composition: Malphite - Yorick - Shen - Thresh - Illaoi - Ornn - Sett - Udyr
- Race/Class: 6 Colossus - 2 Ethereal - 2 Shadow - 2 Vanguard
