Introduction
Hello all readers, i'm CriticalShokku, a LAN ![]() ![]() ![]() |



Pros
+ Unholy burst + Stealth + Fear potential + Missing %HP damage + Build flexibility + Outplay potential Shaco is a great solo queue carry that can assure your team does well in the early game. The enemy team has enough pressure already knowing Shaco is the jungler on your team, because they will be scared to push, even. Shaco is a jungler about pressure, and he certainly does apply it well with his stealth and counterjungling power. |
Cons
- Falls off lategame. - A bit hard to learn completely. - Poor counterjungling can be punished. - Is useless if he doesn't snowball early game. - Does not bring a lot of CC as a jungler. - Not so fast clear times. Like any other champion, Shaco has his set of weaknesses, and is not perfect, he falls off hard late game, you can be punished for counterjungling without enough warding or box placement, and if you don't snowball early game you're not gonna be relevant at any point in the game. |

Deceive (Q): The reason we all love the Demonic Jester so much. We outplay with this, we backstab with this, we get out of sticky situations with this. It's the defining ability of Shaco besides his ultimate.![]() |
![]() |
|
Jack in the Box (W): The thing that allows your first clear to be so healthy, and what makes you escape most situations along with your Q. The fear is awesome.![]() |
![]() |
|
Two-Shiv Poison (E): The Poison Shiv is a great ability, because it passively slows on your autoattacks and when you use it you will deal missing HP damage. Try to use this in every gank, but save it for last or you're not gonna be using this at it's max potential.![]() |
![]() |
|
Hallucinate (R): We've reached this point in the abilities already. The beautiful Clone, the reason i love Shaco so much besides his Q. This ability can allow you to duel the other jungler late game, dive, fear the enemy back into your team, bait, etc. It is great. Also gives you a small invulnerability window when casted. It can avoid Lux ults, Amumu ults, any stun, can avoid death by ignite, Shaco just removes himself from the game for half a second. ![]() |

18 CUNNING + 12 into Ferocity // Awesome tree for Shaco, but keystone masteries aren't that good in ferocity so we take TLD for the burst. Q: What do i take depending on my build? // It's mentioned on the guides up there. Every build must have Thunderlord's, except DPS Shaco. Thunderlord's is too good on this clown to not be using it everytime. |




Q: How can i counterjungle?
A: You must put boxes as escape routes on the entrances of the jungle. Have good vision on the part you're invading and try to save Q as a last resort. More about counterjungling later, on a chapter i will add soon.
Q: How can i juke?
A: You basically use Deceive anywhere unpredictably. You can even do it behind the laner / champion who's chasing you.
Q: How do i use the R?
A: It does have many uses. You can use it to trick everybody into thinking you are the clone. For example, you can throw the ult and stay still and move your clone. That always works for me, you can also avoid Lux ult with it and a lot of other ults too, due to the cast animation that actually removes you from the game half a second.
