The buffs we gave this Kinkou in Patch 3.5a have pushed him over the line in the Jungle. We’re reducing some of the bonus damage that he deals to monsters with Twilight Assault in order to reduce his clear speed and knock him down a peg.
Twilight Assault
- Damage against monsters reduced from 200% to 150%.
- Maximum damage against monsters reduced from 250 to 225.
Baron Lane Shen is performing well, but we’re looking to give his jungle a bit of a boost so we’re bumping up his primary damage method against monsters.
Twilight Assault
- Damage against monsters increased from 100% to 200%.
- Maximum damage against monsters increased from 125/150/175/200 to 250 at all ranks.
We’ve noticed that Shen players have been struggling to push waves, in ways that we don’t believer are appropriate even though he isn’t intended to have very strong waveclear. To open up more build paths for this stealthy kinko, we’re adding splash damage to Twilight Assault itself, which should also make the ability more satisfying to use.
Twilight Assault
- New effect: Applies 50% damage to Melee attack cleave.
The champion Ultimate Cooldown reduction changes in Patch 3.3 have favored Shen more than we expected, making him one of the most powerful champions on the Rift. To restore balance back to the Baron Lane, we’re pulling back on his overall dueling potential.
Ki Barrier

Twilight Assault
- Empowered health ratio reduced from 5.5/6/6.5/7 maximum health to 5/5.5/6/6.5%.
Stand United
- Cooldown reduced from 130/115/100 seconds to 110/100/90.
Shen’s energy regeneration is currently lacking in comparison to his ninja brethren, so we’re increasing his passive energy regeneration while cutting back on some of the energy he gains from his passive to bring him more in line with other energy based champions.
