When playing mid, I like to start off by picking


With




And then, in third level I can begin different combinations by choosing




This is the order of priority in which I get my abilities.




Pros

+ Extremely good at ganking because of

+ Stronger when enemies attempt to flee thanks to

+

+

+ Dangerously fun to play xD
Cons
- Because

- Fairly hard to master
- People may often argue that

- Might have trouble getting last hit on minions early game























































You could either start with a
Doran's Ring, with the bonus health, ability power and mana regeneration I think it is the best choice but it is true that then you would have no way of regenerating your health. Or, starting off with
Boots and
Health Potionx3 is also a good choice making it easier to dodge skill shots and you'd be able to recover your health in case of an emergency. Regardless, I think you should have both in your build once you have enough gold.
Soon enough you'll be able to buy
Ionian Boots of Lucidity and
Fiendish Codex, these too are mainly going to boost your cooldown reduction early game giving you a chance to spam your abilities and annoy your opponent. Also,
Fiendish Codex grants you a bit of ability power which will give you more power.
Immediately build
Nashor's Tooth off of
Fiendish Codex. This will give you a major boost in attack speed, cooldown reduction and ability power. This is an amazing item and AP
Shaco should definitely carry one around.
Now this is a familiar item, is it not? While building an ability power champion this is one of the most used and most feared. Not only does it grant an amazing amount of 120 ability power, this item increases your total ability power by 25%!! That means that no matter what ability power item you buy from now on, you will have more ability power than expected. Keep in mind that
Shaco's
Jack In The Box,
Two-Shiv Poison and
Hallucinate deal magic damage and are affected by how much ability power you have.
What an amazing item this is. Have you ever seen a
Teemo with one of these? probably. And you probably were being murdered by his basic attacks too. Well,
Shaco can also murder using this. Let's put into play
Nashor's Tooth's attack speed and
Malady's attack speed; that is a total of +95 attack speed. Now,
Malady's UNIQUE passive makes your basic attack's to deal 15 plus 10% of your ability power as bonus magic damage.
Rabadon's Deathcap comes into play here as well, knowing that it increases you ability power by 25%, the same ability power from which
Malady will take 10% and convert it into bonus magic damage for your basic attacks which are being way faster thanks to the bonus 95 attack speed (
Malady=45 atk spd,
Nashor's Tooth=50 atk spd).
Nice, a new item; not that it is any less popular than the other ones. Well, this is an impressive item on it's own but with AP
Shaco it makes a remarkable effect. First of all, it grants ability power and health. The bonus health will allow you to stay in a fight longer. Now, it also grants 15 flat magic penetration, which combined with
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration it is a total of 22.83 magic penetration. Now, that's not all, when you deal spell damage to an enemy it will burn 5% of their current health over 3 seconds as magic damage. That means that no matter if you are using
Two-Shiv Poison,
Jack In The Box or
Hallucinate, you will be destroying your target. BUT that's not all! If the enemy's movement is impaired, this item will deal 10% of their current health instead! Let's think about it; just attacking a target will make them be slowed thanks to
Two-Shiv Poison's passive, which means that while they are slowed any spell damage that you deal will burn the target for 10% of their current health. Impressive, huh?
Now to finish the items off,
Rylai's Crystal Scepter to the rescue! This grants you quite a LOT of ability power and health. Also, your spell damage will slow the target by 35% for 1.5 seconds. Do you have any idea what this means? It means that NO MATTER how you attack your opponent, you will always slow the target! (Considering that your
Two-Shiv Poison is not on cooldown which causes your basic attacks to not slow the target until it is available again) And that means that your
Liandry's Torment will always burn the target for 10% of their current health instead of 5%! That is AP
Shaco for you.



Soon enough you'll be able to buy



Immediately build

Now to finish the items off,




You can place a Jack in the box anywhere you want and since you'll be getting cooldown reduction, you don't even have to worry much about saving them for the right occasion. But, I might as well show you were I put my boxes when I'm trying to ward off the place in case of invaders.

Now keep in mind that
Jack In The Box only lasts 1 minute, so you should not go crazy putting boxes everywhere like
Teemo with his
Noxious Trap. But, you can definitely use them when you are farming top to watch for gankers, or when you are taking blue to watch your back.
Jack In The Box Can be useful in so many ways I'm sure i'm going to miss a few. But you can use it's fear at your advantage when ganking someone, or when running away from someone. It can also interrupt a champion's channeling such as
Nunu & Willump,
Fiddlesticksor
Twisted Fate's ultimates. It can also interrupt a champion's teleport or even
Master Yi's
Meditate.
Jack In The Box is definitely Death in the box.

Now keep in mind that













Q and E Combination
Anyways, let's start off with





Ganking
Now lets talk a bit about ganking, there are countless ways you can achieve a beautiful gank. Starting off with top, you can go around your jungle and use



Laning

Remember that your





Well it was really fun typing this guide for you guys and I'd be really glad if this helps at the very least one of you out there, I hope more than that find this guide helpful though. Typing this was almost as fun as playing AP
Shaco mid... That's a lie, playing him is way more fun!
While playing
Shaco and building him with ability power, you can destroy your enemy not only with your spells but also with you basic attack thanks to
Malady. Your abilities will have such a short cooldown that you'd be able to spam and spam and spam your abilities. Enemies will be furious! They'll be typing
Well in CONCLUSION, AP
Shaco is amazing xD
