Yuumi most often accumulates a lot less CS relative to Shen. Champions who typically don't earn much CS typically don't need much CS to be valuable teammates, such as supports. These kinds of champions are capable of scaling properly off of their abilities and first items alone. Yet, champs with large amounts of CS, such as hyper-carries, typically have to have several high cost items to be effective. In either situation, try to do better than the values shown here to do well.

The most crucial items to use in your Yuumi versus Shen build include Ardent Censer, Dream Maker, and Staff of Flowing Water. When Yuumi incorporated at least these three items in her build, she did significantly better versus Shen than with most other common counter builds. In fact, Yuumi boasted an average winrate of 44.7% when playing against Shen with this build.
