Introduction
Let me give you an idea who I am:
Shaco is easy to play and makes a lot of fun. Nonetheless it is very hard to master him and make plays on high elos. This guide shall help you to play Shaco with an optimal setup of runes and masteries. Furthermore I want to give you some ideas of an effective itemization for Shaco.
Last but not least I will give you some hints how to play in different jungle matchups to maximize your success with Shaco jungle. Sometimes I play with my smurf "030 j0ker".
If you follow my guide exactly you can have a streak like this easily ;)

How to use Hallucinate within ganks/dives?
Click here for detailed information
You should maximize Hallucinate since it is your Ultimate which does 600 magical damage at rank 3. This is pretty much and a high source of damage. Since most people do not expect that an exploding Shaco clone will do such an amount of damage.
Afterwards you should spend all your points in Two-Shiv Poison to maximize your damage output. Maxing (R) and (E) is pretty standard on Shaco, because it increases your burst damage.
Should I max JITB (W) or Deceive (Q) next?
Many High Elo Shaco players prefer to upgrade Jack in the Box over Deceive. What is the reason behind maxing W over Q? Let's compare the benefits of maxing both skills:
At level 12 you will have either JITB or Deceive at rank 4. Maxing Deceive will offer you less mana costs for your Q and dealing 200 % dmg on your next autoattack after using this ability. 200 % additional damage is equivalent to landing a critical strike on your enemy.
If you upgrade JITB first, you will do additional damage with your boxes at rank 4. 35 AP damage at rank 1 and 80 AP damage at rank 4. Furthermore your boxes will fear the enemies for 1.25 seconds instead of 0.5 seconds at rank 1.
Considering your role as a sneaky assassin and great counterjungler there should be no doubt that maxing JITB is clearly superior to upgrading Deceive. Your (counter)jungle Speed increases significantly by maxing W. Moreover you get a boost for your killing potential since additional 0.75 seconds fear duration can be the decisive factor if you kill someone or if you escape successfully. On the other hand maxing Q over W allows you to escape more often in dangerous situations because it reduces the mana costs of your Deceive. Therefore both options are legit and viable. You should decide on your own which playstyle you prefer more. Actually I proceeded to max Q over W since it is my only escape and I need as low mana costs as possible on it, while maxing W increases mana costs or your boxes, maxing Q reduces mana costs, so in terms of effective mana management maxing Q over W is superior.
WIKIPRO'S SHACO RUNES
I tried almost any imaginable rune setup for Shaco and found out that these runes provide a perfect mix of attributes which are beneficial for Shaco in the early game:
Armor is required in S5 due to the fact that jungle monsters do increases damage and you need every source of damage reduction.
Taking Attack Speed runes is beneficial because it is a nice addition to your item build which has only Statikk Shiv as a source of AS, since Shaco scales pretty nicely with this stat.
Attack Damage is a good overall stat on assassins, while Ability Power works perfectly on Shaco due to his 100 % Scaling on his Two-Shiv-Poison (E). So it increases your early game burst damage on your E 1:1, which can be the decisive factor in getting early game kills. Furthermore the damage of your Jack in the Boxes will be increased slightly. Since there are no good offensive runes at Glyphs, AP seems to be the most beneficial way of maximizing Shaco's damage output.
RECOMMENDED RUNES
VIABLE RUNES
NO-GO RUNES
All other types of runes are usually not recommended, especially AP Quints. Although AP works with Shaco's (W) (E) (R) you have to consider that Shaco is mainly an Auto Attacker. JITB (W) are useless in fights since they get one shoted. Two-Shiv-Poison is a single target spell which scales same for Ad/AP, but if you use it, you will lose your AA-slow on targets. Your ult does only AP damage when it explodes! If you build AP on Shaco only your (E) and the explosion of your clone (R) will benefit from it. The explosion of your ultimate can be easily dodged. You will deal like no AA damage when you focus on building AP, so you would waste the AA slow from your (E) aswell as the high damage attributes of your clone by focussing on AP-runes and AP-items. AD is way to good on Shaco, so I would never go for Hybrid or AP-Shaco.
As I mentioned in the viable runes section already, only Glyph of Ability Power could be an alternative to increase your early game burst damage a bit since there are no good offense glyphs right now.
CONCLUSION
If you combine these runes with the masteries suggested in the following chapter you will get a very nice setup for S5 Shaco. After a lot of testing, and I really mean a lot I found out that the suggested rune setup is pretty good to carry the early game.

RECOMMENDED RUNES
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed: Probably the best Quints for Shaco right now. So worth, if you focus on a fast jungle clear.
- Greater Mark of Attack Damage: AD is pretty strong in the early game, because it will increase your burst damage. Best Marks on Shaco in my opinion.
- Greater Seal of Armor: Gives you additional sustain during your jungle clear and in duelling situations. It is obligatory in S5.
- Greater Glyph of Ability Power: Only take this in combination with Mental Force and Arcane Mastery from offense tree. They are superior to many other Glyphs which are available.
VIABLE RUNES
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: AD is pretty strong in early game, because it will increase your early game burst damage. Solid alternative for AS-Quints.
- Greater Mark of Attack Speed: AS increases your jungle clear speed, your trading potential and in general your damage output. It synergizes very well with your Two-Shiv-Poison Passive. Nonetheless AD marks are a better option to get early game damage.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Good against heavy AP combos to increase your early game trading potential.
- Greater Seal of Attack Speed: AS increases your jungle clear speed, your trading potential and in general your damage output. It synergizes very well with your Two-Shiv-Poison Passive and is one of the key stats for Shaco. Armor runes are superior in S5.
- Greater Glyph of Attack Damage: Only Good if you run movement speed quints to be able to apply the extra damage onto your target. Combine it with attack damage seals.
- Greater Glyph of Attack Speed: AS increases your jungle clear speed, your trading potential and in general your damage output. It synergizes very well with your Two-Shiv-Poison Passive and is one of the key stats for Shaco. AP Glyphs superior for increasing early game damage, while AS-Glyphs scale better into lategame.
- Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: Gives you decent defense stats for mid-late game. Solid runes, but I would still prefer flat MR since you want to make plays before lvl 6 so flat MR will help you more. But if you think you cannot make plays in early game for some reason you can also take these runes since they are superior to flat runes due to the buffed scaling.
- Greater Seal of Attack Damage: Only Good if you run movement speed quints to be able to apply the extra damage onto your target. Combine it with attack damage glyphs.
- greater Mark of Armor Penetration: Armor Penetration is a great choice for auto-attackers since you apply noticeably more damage.
- Greater Glyph of Armor: Gives you additional sustain during your jungle clear and in duelling situations. Not really worth compared to CDR/lvl or flat MR.
- Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: MS is very important for Shaco, because it allows him to apply more autoattacks on the enemy, which will result in a greater damage output. Therefore MS synergizes very well with your Two-Shiv-Poison Passive (E), which allows you to slow the enemy permanently while AA them. It can also be useful for escaping from volatile situations.
- Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction: It's viable but scaling CDR is superior since you won't have much benefit of 10 % CDR (5% runes +5% masteries) in early since mana will be the limiting factor in most cases. In Mid-Lategame scaling CDR runes will make your ultimate and your Deceive fast available which is very helpful.
- Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction: Make sure to spent 4 points in Sorcery for the 5 % CDR from Masteries. You will get 20 % CDR at level 18 without any items. Get blue buff + blue potion and you get 40 % CDR in lategame which is amazing on Shaco.
NO-GO RUNES
All other types of runes are usually not recommended, especially AP Quints. Although AP works with Shaco's (W) (E) (R) you have to consider that Shaco is mainly an Auto Attacker. JITB (W) are useless in fights since they get one shoted. Two-Shiv-Poison is a single target spell which scales same for Ad/AP, but if you use it, you will lose your AA-slow on targets.

My current masteries look like this:
BENEFITS OF THE OFFENSE TREE
Following there will be an analysis of pros and cons of all mastery trees to find out which ones are most beneficial for Shaco.
Wikipro's Offense Tree
|
|
REMAINING OFFENSE TREE MASTERIES
- Warlord : Only useful if you have a full AD rune page, because you will already get some bonus AD from it in early game. Huge in late game when you build a lot of AD. Both of my new mastery pages benefit from spending 3 points into it. (+)
- Feast : Since we don't skill Butcher, we won't skill Feast aswell, because it depends on skilling Butcher. Nonetheless good sustain since they buffed it. (+)
- Blade Weaving : Not useful on Shaco since only your E does immediate spell damage. Same like Expose Weakness. (-)
- Sorcery: 5 % CDR. Compared to S3 you get 1% additonal CDR, same like I told before about AS. Pretty nice on many champions. I tried it out together with 5 % CDR from glyphs, that you start with 10 % CDR on Shaco. This is not worth since CDR isn't that good for Shaco in early game. If you use CDR/lvl Glyphs, you will have 20 % CDR at lv18 (15% runes/5% masteries). Thats amazing since you can easily stack them up to 40 % by using a blue potion and getting blue buff or by building Spirit of the Elder Lizard. This is incredible in mid-late game where you rely heavily on having your Q and your R as fast available as possible. Take this if you run CDR Glyphs, either scaling or flat, otherwise spent these points somewhere else. (+)
- Archmage : You are neither AP Shaco nor Hybrid Shaco. No reason to even think about it. (-)
- Arcane Blade : Nope! Useless on Shaco, since you don't build AP. (-)
CONCLUSION
In my opinion Shaco benefits a lot from the Offense Tree, because it increases his overall damage a lot. He benefits most from "Executioner", "Devastating Strikes", "Frenzy" and "Fury". Take 25 points for maximum damage output ;)
BENEFITS OF THE DEFENSIVE TREE
- Block : Damage from autoattacks is reduced by 2, if you spend 2 points into this mastery. Decent against autoattackers. Take this to increase your trading potential in early game. (+)
- Unyielding : Reduces all incoming damage by 2 (from Melees) or by 1 (from Ranged). Decent against other junglers and for ganks. Take this to increase your trading potential in early game. (+)
- Tough Skin : Reduces damage from neutral monsters by 2, if you spend 2 points into this mastery. If you want to have save start and initial clear, these 2 points can help you. (+)
- Veteran Scars : 3 points offer you 36 additional health. Great deal. Take it! (+)
- Juggernaut : Increases your maximum Health by 3 %. Sounds like a mastery for Olaf (Health Stacking champions), but can save your life in early if it is a close duell and be the decisive factor if someone has skilled it or not, that's why almost everyone is spending a point into this. (+)
- Oppression : Reduces damage taken by 3 % from enemies which have impaired movement speed. If Shaco autoattacks and therefore slows the enemy due to his Two-Shiv-Poison-Passive (E) he would receive 3 % decreased damage from the slowed enemy. It is like you would neutralise the havoc mastery point (3 % increased damage) which was spent by the enemy. Would rather take this on Shaco as Juggernaut.(+)
- Recovery : 2 Health per 5 seconds. Rather useful on Tanks ;). If you are forced to spend points then i would rather get these 2 points than Enchanted Armor. So I would take these points if I would spent more than 5 points in the Defense Tree. (+)
- Enchanted Armor : Increases bonus Armor and MR by 5 %. Well your only source of bonus armor will be Guardian Angel and Wriggles Lantern. Since only your bonus Armor and MR gets increased, this mastery is really not worth. (-)
- Bladed Armor : Not worth at all.(-)
- Resistance : 2 MR if you spend the 9th point into this Defensive Tree. Rather spend your 9th point into Oppression, since it scales much better into late game. (-)
- Hardiness : 2 Armor if you spend the 9th point into this Defensive Tree. Rather spend your 9th point into Oppression, since it scales much better into late game. (-)
CONCLUSION
Get the maximum out of the offense tree and spent the other points wisely in defense and utility for maximum early game potential.
BENEFITS OF THE UTILITY TREE
Wikipro's Utility Tree
|
|
REMAINING UTILITY TREE MASTERIES
- Vampirism : 3 % LS and Spellvamp for 3 points. Spellvamp works with your Two-Shiv Poison Active and with Smite. This is amazing! You will get sustain by autoattacking and by using your spells aswell as Smite. Decent amount of early game sustain. (+)
- Summoner's Insight : Summoner CD's reduced by 10 %. It's not great, but ok.(+)
- Wealth : This mastery gives you additional 40 gold at the beginning of the game.(+)
- Meditation : 3 Points offer you +3 Mana Regeneration. Shaco needs a lot of Mana and getting increaes regeneration can help you a lot. (+)
- Runic Affinity : This can be a key factor for your early game success. Your buff duration will be increased by 20 %! (+)
- Scout : The cast range of your trinket items is increased by 15 %. This can be very useful if you need this little range advantage to ward through walls or brushes from a save angle or if you want to reveal wards from a save spot. (+)
- Alchemist : This mastery is decent. The duration of potions and elixirs is increased by 10 %. It's a new mastery which increases your early game sustain and helps you slightly in late game by increasing the duration of elixir. (+)
- Culinary Master : Your Health Potions will be upgraded to Cookies which provide additional 20 Health and 10 Mana after Consumption. Great for additional early game sustain. (+)
- Strength of Spirit : Shaco's Manapool is soo low, you will never seriously benefit from the additional health renegeration from this mastery. Don't waste a point. (-)
CONCLUSION
Get the maximum out of the offense tree and spent the other points wisely in defense and utility for maximum early game potential.
IMPORTANT STATS ON SHACO
As you can see Shaco has good ratios on Attack Damage (AD) and Attack Speed (AS). It's obvious that both stats should be your prime selection in terms of itemization, because you want to build the stats on Shaco which are most effective on him. Let me give you an idea about the important stats on Shaco for a better understanding of my itemization.
- Critical Strike Chance (Crit): Why is Crit so important on Shaco? Well, you are an assassin and you want to kill squishy targets as fast and effective as possible. You have a passive which gives you a 20 % damage boost when attacking the enemy from behind. Furthermore your Deceive (Q) will make your next basic attack deal Crit damage. Critical strikes deal 200 % damage. If you have a high amount of AS your chance to Crit increases dramatically. Thats the reason why AS and Crit synergize so well.
- On-Hit-Effects (OHE): Why should I concentrate on those OHE? Shaco has a very unique ultimate called Hallucinate. It generates a clone of Shaco who deals 75 % of his damage. Furthermore OHE increase the damage of his clone significantly since they work on him aswell and deal 100 % of the damage dealt by those effects, e.g. Ravenous Hydra, Statikk Shiv or Blade of the Ruined King.
- Lifesteal (LS): LS is pretty important for many AD-Champions, because it is often your only source of sustain. LS can also be used by your clone to sustain himself.
- Movement Speed (MS): Shaco is an early game playmaker. You need to gank a lot, counterjungle heavily and help your lanes as much as possible. You have already a high base MS with 350, but you need additional MS to fulfill your role at the best.
BEST ITEMS ON SHACO
Great wave clear. Amazing passive, which can also Crit. Especially with Deceive (Q) and Shaco's Passive you can make tons of damage! Should be part of every Shaco Build in my opinion. |
This item is mandatory. It is the best item you can get on a Shaco because its passive increases your overall Crit damage. This item should be a part of every Shaco build. |
Possibly the best item in the game if you focus on AS and Crit. Can be bought as an addition to Statikk but should not replace it, since the unique passive on Statik Shiv is pretty strong on Shaco. |
NO-GO ITEMS
Good item to assassinate targets. When it's on CD you lose a whole item slot. Definitely not worth, because with my suggested setup you can already kill squishy targets effectively. |
CONCLUSION
You might have realized that many items are strong on Shaco, but only a few items are really OP in the current meta and therefore allow Shaco to carry matches almost singlehanded. That's why I reduced my suggested builds to the only one I would recommend to play Shaco successfully.

When is Mid Game? Well it's not easy to define. One indicator can be the end of laning phase. When one team lost 2 turrets it's very likely that the roaming, grouping and team fighting will start. The early game in contrast relies heavily on the laning phase. So what is Shaco's role in Mid Game?
I already mentioned Shaco's job in early game is ganking as much as possible and counterjungling when it's reasonable. In Mid Game you should concentrate on saving objectives for your team. The main objective should be drake!
DRAKE CONTROL
SPLIT PUSHING

Yolo queue games will not reach late game in most cases. Most games will end around the 30 minute mark.
Late game is usually all about Baron Control. Split Pushing in Late Game can be risky because every teamfight can decide the game. So if your team gets engaged while your split push, this could mean that you will lose the game. So what to do in Late Game as Shaco?
It is really situational and depending on the course of the game. Late Game is usually starting at 40 Minutes and as a Shaco your primary goal should be rushing Guardian Angel.
You simply need the ability to participate at baron fights. In the following chapter I will elaborate on Shaco's role in team fights!

I did an experiment. I played with my unrated level 30 Smurf Account Shaco only in Ranked Games. Step by step I managed to buy runes to get at least one standard rune page with 15 AD 13 Armor 12 MR. When I reached Platinum V, I finally got this single full rune page.
Many people argue that Shaco is useless and that he is not viable. I made it to Diamond V within 109 games. I started unranked and won 8 of 10 games. Then I was rated in Gold V and played Shaco every single game. Of course I never trolled my team and adapted to other roles when it was necessary, but within these 109 games I played 107 games Shaco in the jungle and only one game as Shaco Support and another game as Shaco MID (AP-Shaco).
I would never recommend any of you guys to play Shaco as Support or on Lane. There are just better champions to fullfil these roles ;)
But as I want to show you with my little experiment Shaco is still a beast in jungle. I picked him every game no matter which team combo we had and it was possible to win. Nonetheless this experiment does not say anything about his viability in team ranked matches. But that's neither the point.
My goal was to demonstrate that Shaco is viable in solo queue and it is possible to carry every single game with him. I mean some games are not winnable no matter which champion you would have picked since there are other special solo queue factors, which make some games unwinnable.
Don't get dispirited by people spamming that Shaco is useless or flaming you for picking him. The more experience you gain with Shaco the merrier your results will be.
