Playing the duo

Stand United(R) shields Katarina and teleports Shen to her, while Shadow Dash(E) can taunt enemies near her engage; Katarina's Voracity(P) reduces cooldowns after a takedown and her dagger pickups reset Shunpo(E).

How to play as Shen

Use R when Katarina commits to a dive or skirmish, then taunt the nearby targets with E after you arrive to give her time to secure a reset.

How to play as Katarina

Coordinate your entry with Shen's R and wait for his arrival or taunt before channeling Death Lotus; use the shielded window to secure your first takedown.
