Ivern vs Shen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff-sharing to deny Shen camps without risking isolated duels.
Prioritize utility scaling by enabling teammates with shields and Daisy rather than fighting Shen directly.
Control river vision and objective setups to leverage Ivern's medium invade resistance and counter-jungle potential.

Jungle Plan

Use creative pathing to deny camps and share buffs with priority lanes that can capitalize on Ivern's utility.
Contest river control and dragon setups when your lanes can pressure Shen or follow up on your crowd control.
Track Shen's jungle pathing to counter-gank his early gank attempts and protect scaling carries with shields and Daisy.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights and contesting objectives when low on health or without lane priority, as Shen can taunt engage.
Be cautious around (E) taunt timing, which can set up empowered trades and force unfavorable fights.
Watch for forced smite fights where Shen's global (R) can swing numbers advantage unexpectedly.

Early game

Start with a safe clear path that allows marking camps early and avoids direct confrontations with Shen.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Shen's medium early agency.
Avoid fighting Shen alone early; instead, use pathing flexibility to share buffs and secure camps safely.

Power spikes

Respect Shen's level 6 (R) global shield and teleport impact; avoid fights when he can turn side-lane pressure into map advantage.
Use Ivern's utility scaling mid to late game by maximizing shield and crowd control uptime to protect carries.
Exploit Shen's weaker dueling before his first tank item by denying camps and forcing him into unfavorable fights.

Win conditions

Convert creative jungle routing and camp denial into objective control by coordinating with lanes that can collapse on Shen.
Use Ivern's crowd control and shields to enable strong ganks and counter-ganks, disrupting Shen's side-lane pressure.
Focus on scaling utility to protect key carries in teamfights and leverage Daisy's knockup to control clustered fights.
