TPA Shen reimagines the Eye of Twilight as a relaxed esports champ. Instead of his armored gi, he wears a red and grey hoodie with a bold TPA logo, blue jeans, a white cap under big headphones, and a purple face mask. His sword is replaced by a foam bat, which instantly shifts his silhouette and gives his attacks a playful look compared to base Shen’s steel katana.
In-game, the skin keeps Shen’s updated ability effects from his champion rework, so you get the modern clarity on the spirit blade, dash, and ultimate shield. Colors lean into cool purples and blues that match his mask and hoodie accents, while the foam bat adds a soft, sporty feel to autos. The skin celebrates the Taipei Assassins’ 2012 World Championship win and sits within the World Champions 2012 set alongside other team-themed looks. Shen was selected by the World Champion TPA Stanley to commemorate the win.
There are no unique TPA-specific particles or voice lines at this price tier, but the V6.2 update made the animations cleaner and refreshed SFX/VO across all Shen skins. The end result is a casual, playful take on Shen that still reads clearly in fights compared to his base model.
Release date: May 23, 2013 (Patch 3.8 period). It received a texture update in Patch 4.21 and, with Shen’s V6.2 champion update, got an adjusted model, new voiceover, updated VFX/SFX, updated lore, and an adjusted splash.
TPA Shen is part of the World Champions 2012 (TPA) skinline, which celebrates the Taipei Assassins’ Worlds victory with team-branded hoodies, casual gear, and playful props. Other skins in this line include:
TPA Shen is semi-rare. It’s a Legacy skin that isn’t always purchasable and usually shows up only during special Legacy or Worlds-related shop rotations. If you’re collecting Legacy sets, accounts with this skin can be more desirable. You can explore availability on Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. As a Legacy skin, TPA Shen can drop from Hextech/Masterwork loot, be rolled from skin shard rerolls, or appear via Mystery Gifts, though the chance is low. If you want an account that already owns it, check Buy LoL Accounts.
It depends on what you like. If you want modern effects and a high-tech theme, Pulsefire Shen offers a flashier look and custom effects. PsyOps Shen brings a covert ops vibe with striking VFX and a darker palette. For a full overview of his options, see All Shen Skins.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
