Dun Shan

• His passive shield blocks a huge amount of projectile damage while braced, absorbing hits meant for his team.
• His charge knocks back and throws the first enemy hero hit, disrupting the enemy backline.
• His ultimate can fuse with a friendly turret, reinforcing it and healing both himself and the structure.

• Passive · Shield of Heaven and Earth — While braced, his shield can block a large amount of projectile-skill damage and grants 30% damage reduction; basic attacks deal bonus physical damage. The shield starts with base durability plus a bonus from his max HP, consumed 1-for-1 by blocked hits, and gains more durability each level.
• 1 · One Man, One Pass — Braces his shield in front, losing 50% move speed; enemies who touch the shield are knocked back and take physical damage.
• 2 · None Shall Pass — Charges forward, knocking back minions/monsters in his path for physical damage, and throws back the first enemy hero hit, restoring energy; the thrown hero takes a 1-second stun and physical damage on landing. Can be used while his ultimate is active, which immediately retracts his shield.
• Ultimate · Standing Firm — Flips nearby enemy units for physical damage, then slams his shield into the ground for physical damage and a knockback, with the shockwave pushing enemies further at reduced damage; restores energy on cast. His 2 empowers this shield to 150% durability while it's active.
• 4th Skill · Hold the Line — Fuses with a nearby friendly turret, granting it bonus physical and magic defense while regenerating both his own and the turret's HP over 7 seconds, restoring energy each second.

Build 1: Vanguard · Redemption → Boots of Resistance → Ominous Omen → Warlord's Plate → Witch's Cloak → Glacial Storm

Tip: Dun Shan is fairly clunky while shielding and can't always initiate cleanly, so some HP items give him the room to set up his engage properly.

Build 2: Vanguard · Redemption → Fleetfoot Boots → Glacial Storm → Warlord's Plate → Witch's Cloak → Sage's Sanctuary

Tip: A high-move-speed Dun Shan can use his skills to easily toss enemies back into his team for a kill.

Inscriptions: Fate, Void, Harmony

Tip: Thanks to his passive's damage reduction while braced, stacking max HP gives him the highest overall value from this set.
