Aggressively contest river vision and Scuttle when lanes can collapse to deny Shen objective control.
Invade Shen's jungle before his first reset if lanes pressure, focusing on punishing his slower clear and scaling reliance.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to hit level 3 before Shen can respond.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can assist; otherwise, secure safe clears.
