Evelynn vs Shen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn must survive early jungle pressure and avoid early river fights before level 6 to safely reach her stealth power spike.
Focus on using stealth and AP burst to punish isolated targets post-6 rather than direct dueling or early invades against Shen.

Jungle Plan

Use full clear and path through fog of war to set up post-6 flank ganks on pushed or isolated lanes.
Avoid early river fights and invades; instead, focus on counter-jungling after reaching level 6 and when lanes have priority.
Prioritize objective control by leveraging stealth picks to secure dragons and Rift Herald after creating pick pressure.

Danger windows

Early game before level 6, Evelynn is vulnerable to Shen's strong early dueling and potential invades; avoid isolated river fights.
Forced smite fights around early dragons or Rift Herald can be risky if Shen has lane priority or numbers advantage.
Be cautious when lanes lack priority, as Shen's global (R) can create unexpected counter-ganks or objective plays.

Early game

Prioritize a clean full clear to hit level 6 quickly and avoid low-health river paths vulnerable to Shen's counter-invades.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks.
Track Shen's jungle pathing to anticipate his early pressure and avoid forced fights before you have camouflage and burst.

Power spikes

At level 6, Evelynn gains camouflage and high burst, enabling strong flank ganks and pick potential; use this to force fights around objectives.
Shen's level 6 global shield and teleport can turn skirmishes; respect his ability to join fights and prepare vision accordingly.
Evelynn's AP scaling makes her a late-game threat; focus on reaching item power spikes to outscale Shen's tankiness.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure and reach level 6 to unlock stealth and burst potential for pick-oriented ganks.
Use stealth to flank and punish overextended or isolated enemies before major objectives.
Leverage pick pressure to secure dragons and Rift Herald, then scale into late game where Evelynn's AP burst outdamages Shen's durability.
