Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Karthus

Extreme

Can outfarm you however behind he is and end up dealing more damage and outscales you. However, good Karthus players are rare.

Nidalee

Extreme

If she hits her spear, she can see you through your invis. Her jungle clearing makes it harder for you to invade. Try and block her spear with your boxes.

Shyvana

Extreme

Powerfarms and throws fireballs to oneshot your clone from a distance. Try and build MR items like Banshees against this matchup.

Rek'Sai

Extreme

While burrowed, she can see you while invis with her passive, making it hard to sneak up on her. However, AP Shaco allows you to fight from a distance so it's a lot safer than if you were to go AD.

Rengar

Extreme

Super hard matchup, can bait your Q and your ult with his ult. And he can see you when invis. AP Shaco makes it a bit more safer but it's still pretty hard.

Ekko

Major

His E can follow your Q. Pre-6, your ganks are stronger and so is your counterjungling so just make sure you abuse him early. Post-6 you never really win fights because of his ult but AP Shaco makes it easier as you can fight him from a distance.

Kha'Zix

Major

Used to be a skill matchup. Now it isn't. His duskblade procs when he kills your clone which means the clone damage doesn't go through. He outdamages you even if your box is getting rid of the isolation buff.

Nunu & Willump

Major

This is a macro battle. He has better ganks, objective control, duelling, clear etc. You gotta try and outdo him on all those fronts.

Kayn

Major

Kayn can run in, use W > Q combo (as shadow assassin) and oneshot you, your clone and all the boxes you place. So you gotta fight Kayn before he fights you.

Fiddlesticks

Major

You don't really win 1v1s with this guy, he can outheal your damage. He always knows if you're near because his W can be used only when there are enemies nearby (like Trynd slow). You can beat him by popping.

Kindred

Major

Theoretically you beat her cos she's an ADC. But you're playing Shaco. She can easily kite you with her low cooldown Q. You gotta hold onto your Q so you can't engage onto her with your Q. She also deals insane damage with her 3-hit auto ability. When you gain the upper hand, though it should be an easy game.

Hecarim

Major

****ter's champion.

Graves

Major

Kinda cancer ngl. AP shaco should make it easier but is mostly still a skill matchup.

Lee Sin

Major

Has true sight to see your boxes and you. You beat him in mid-late game teamfights so the game should be easy as long as you avoid and countergank him early.

Ivern

Major

You don't win this matchup if you let it get to late game. Counterjungle his marked camps and try your best to crush the enemy team's morales as fast as you can.

Gragas

Even

Macro battle most of the time.

Evelynn

Even

She can avoid your clone's burst with her ult but you can do the same and can duel you pre6 after the buffs. AP is pretty decent. Just make sure you don't ult as soon as she charms you. Wait out the charm if possible.

Elise

Even

Block her ******* with your box. After that it's a battle of wits. Respect her oneshot potential.

Olaf

Even

You literally can't fight this guy and he can block your fear with his ult and outheal all your damage. Just try and countergank and get your team ahead. If they're strong enough they can kite him to death.

Lillia

Even

Kindof a nightmare. You can't kill her before you get your first item and even then you can only really chip away at her.

Zac

Even

He stuns both you and your boxes with his Q and you can't really duel him. Just try and outmacro him/get him when he's low.

Xin Zhao

Even

Dodge his ult with your ult and you should be fine.

Volibear

Even

Skill matchup. It's okay.

Amumu

Minor

Nerfs to both sunfires and him made him quite the troll pick. Invade his blue level 2 so he runs out of mana and carries on being the sad mummy that he is.
