Shen vs Bel'Veth

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shen should focus on disrupting Bel'Veth's fast farming jungle tempo by targeting early invades and river control to slow her scaling.
Prioritize controlling Scuttle and early river vision to set up counter-ganks and deny her safe objective access.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing through river camps and Scuttle to control vision and deny Bel'Veth early jungle tempo.
Invade after first item power spike timing or when lanes have priority to force fights and slow her farm.
Use (R) to assist side lanes for counter-ganks and convert kills into Rift Herald or dragon control to leverage your global impact.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights before level 6 where Bel'Veth's mobility and (E) damage reduction can punish isolated Shen.
Avoid forced smite fights on dragon or Herald without lane priority or vision control, as Bel'Veth can convert objectives into map pressure.
Be cautious after using (R) as your side wave and tower can be punished if not properly prepared.

Early game

Start with a full clear to match Bel'Veth's high clear speed and avoid early health deficits.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and prevent risky 1v1s.
Avoid early invades unless you have lane priority or can force Bel'Veth off camps quickly to disrupt her scaling path.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for global shield and teleport impact; prepare waves before using it to avoid losing jungle tempo.
First tank item improves durability, allowing more confident (E) taunt engages and short trades against Bel'Veth's dueling.
Respect Bel'Veth's first item spike where she can sustain longer fights; avoid extended duels before disrupting her farm.

Win conditions

Use early invades and Scuttle control to disrupt Bel'Veth's fast clears and delay her scaling.
Convert (R) global plays into objective control like Rift Herald and dragon to snowball map pressure.
Leverage taunt engages and empowered (Q) trades to secure kills and deny Bel'Veth free farm, forcing her into unfavorable fights.
