Interactions

  • Using Q and E with Reverberation can trigger it three times instantly, which leads to high damage.3
  • An augment that increased Q damage appeared to leave Shen’s Q damage unchanged while increasing its cooldown.4
  • Shen’s Q damage counts as passive damage for an augment.5

Bugs

  • Using Shen’s taunt with Force of Entropy and Reverberation can trigger an infinite loop that one-shots the entire enemy team; this interaction has not been reproduced.6
