Everything You Need to Know About Frozen Shen

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Shen? Let's dive into everything you need to know about Frozen Shen, a unique skin for Shen. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 520 RP

Released: 2010-03-24

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2010-03-24, this Common tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Frozen Shen worth your RP. At 520 RP, you're getting a budget-friendly option that still gives Shen a fresh look, so you can stand out.

Here's what you get with Frozen Shen: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Shen a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Frozen Shen keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Frozen Shen?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear Frozen Shen in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Keith Silverstein, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Xi Zhang, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of Frozen Shen.

The Story Behind Frozen Shen

Enduring the bitter cold, Shen roams the ice caps with his twin blades, hunting the terrifying demon hidden deep underneath.
