This guide will be updated, this isnt the definitive guide. Feel free to ask me any doubt or tell me any suggestions in the comments :)

First of all I'd like to say that when I wrote this guide I was Platinum 2, but now I reached Diamond using this build and a bruiser/assassin one. I may post it later on.







Hi everyone, i'm Shaclowne, I am an OTP High Platinum Tank Shaco player With 700k Mastery Points on Shaco. Before telling you about the build and the reasons why I think tank shaco is actually strong I'd like to know that I have a Youtube Channel in which I upload guides about taking objectives, countermoves, tips in the jungle, etc. I think that they will be very usefull for you, so take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIQebFu9TnAHqMW1pg4IpmA

Pros:
- You are not useless as Assassin Shaco when he is not able to Oneshot
- Not counterable with Zhonyas or Guardian Angel as assassin shaco
- Easier to comeback from a bad early game due this cheap and usefull build
- Easier to play
- Cleans extremely well with Tiamat and Cinderhulk
- Can Shield your ADC with Solari and make weaker enemy ADC with Exhaust
- Clone applies Cinderhulk and thornmail damage
- With your Clone you have 2 tanks
- Great Damage with cinderhulk, red smite and Dark Harvest being Tanky

We are gonna take Dark Harvest Instead of Electrocute because Electrocute scales with 50% AD and Dark Harvest with 25% AD + Souls. So with Tank Shaco we will be able to be tanky, usefull and deal a decent amout of gamage thanks to Dark Harvest since it deals damage depending mostly on souls instead of AD

We take Resolve because Demolish is Actually good for destroying towers and the extra armor and MR from conditionating goes really well

We will start with Jack In The Box, obviously to place the Boxes. If you want to take the enemy buff at lvl 2 you should take Deceive insetad of Two-Shiv Poison to have an scape if there's need.
If you prefer to farm until lvl 3 or 4 upgrade your E to clean faster.

At lvl 4 I recommend you skilling your E because it doubles your E Damage. Then, at lvl 5 skill your Q to have a good gank potential.

Skill your R when it is possible and at lvl 7, 8 and 9 Upgrading E is the best because it increases base damage, and we will need base damage with a Tank Build. 2 points on Q are enough to gank really well :)

On tank shaco we don't really want an ignite... Why would you want it? To have a better early game?

It's not worth to have a better early game with Ignite because at late game it will be a summ less for you and your team. With Tank Shaco you want to be usefull, and Exhaust is really good on Teamfights. Definetly go for exhaust on Tank Shaco.

Lets talk about the items and what makes Tank Shaco so good x)

Tiamat is really good to clean faster and for resetting your Auto. It also applies Atack Effect with the clone so you apply more Damage

Skirmisher's Sabre + Enchantment: Cinderhulk Red smite will help us to deal more damage to enemy carry and cinderhulk it's great for cleaning faster the jungle, it works actually well with tiamat. It will give us alot of hp and our clone also applies cinderhulk damage :)

Trinity Force Take it if you are strong since it is expensive and if you are not stronger than enemies you won't take proffit from it. It would be better to go for Armor/Magic Ressist if you are behind or as strong as them. It gives shaco Atack Speed and as shaco has a lot of base atack speed it works great. It will also give us other interesting stats :)

Dead Man's Plate Go for it if the enemy team has ADC + Another AD Champ

Randuin's Omen It will be very usefull if the enemy team has critical strike damage or champions based on Atack Speed

Thornmail Really good item on shaco because his clone also applies the passive damage!

Spirit Visage Will give us Magic ressist. I recommend you to take it if enemy team has 2 heavy AP champs

Adaptive Helm It's better than spirit vasage against champs that spam a lot of habilities and habilities that deal damage for a short time. Also take it even if you have spirit vasage against a heavy AP team

Locket of the Iron Solari This item is pretty good when you have hyper carries in your team such us Tristana, Twitch, Kog'Maw, Vayne. Don't underrate this item!

Titanic Hydra Upgrade Tiamat into Titanic Hydra. You can rush it after trinity if you are really strong, because it will give you more damage. The clone also applies the passive :)

Ninja Tabi Almost always

Mercury's Treads Against tones of CC or a Heavy AP team

Ornn Trinity Fusion If you have Ornn in your team always go for this amazing trinity that will give you a great late game
