Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.
Shen Sivir Synergy Stats
How to Play with Sivir as Shen in LoL
The Shen Sivir synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Sivir, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sivir. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Sivir helps Shen perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Sivir, he sees a marginal improvement in his complete damage output. This difference could demonstrate that Sivir provides protection for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Sivir on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Sivir.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Sivir on the same team, he often receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Sivir does a poor job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Sivir?
There is no one best companion for Shen that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. Yet, overall, Sivir is a very bad teammate for Shen. By locking into the same team as Shen, she lowers their win rate by -5.8% to 43.9%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Shen and Sivir that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Sivir has a lower difficulty than Shen. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Sivir allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
When playing alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by aligning Shen and Sivir together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates much magic damage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that offsets this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of your Sivir ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
