Common ban nowadays. Jax is so strong, early, mid and lategame. You can kill him on his jungle if you see him using his E to farm or to avoid damage. Make sure he doesn't get kills early. Countergank him and push lanes a lot to get as much gold advantage as possible.

Introduction - Be ready for Shaco madness

Hello, Mobafire users!
I'm White crow here in Mobafire and on Youtube, and I'm an user who plays LoL like other millions of people.
"Why should I read your guide, you random guy who is probably a virgin(NO) and I don't know at all?".
After playing thousands of games with him and testing many different builds/strategies, I consider myself a pretty experienced Diamond
Shaco player, who's playing level is a little above the Shaco players average.
In addition, I got featured on Riot's Summoner Showcase as a good Shaco Master and Teacher! Yay, thanks. Also I have had the top 1 Shaco guide in Mobafire for 7 YEARS! Yep, I need a life.
SO, What can yoy teach me, "so pro White Crow"?
After seeing many strange(BAD)
Shaco usage, and as I started being epicly insulted and blamed for picking him on ranked, I thought it would be a good idea to create my first Guide Ever on Mobafire to explain why Shaco IS still viable in solo queue and why, plus an in-depth guide of HOW he should be played to be efficient. Nowadays, Shaco has changed a lot, and the recent rework on season 9 brought an insane amount of changes that affect our mad jester.

Pros / Cons of Picking Shaco
Pros
+ Strong pre-6 Ganks. + One of the best counterjunglers out there + So good splitpusher + One of the most fun champ to play with. + So Slippery and annoying. + He is the most mental champ out there. + You can easily win people with Coulrophobia. Shaco has evolved over the seasons. While he it hasn't the best assassin, his kit is designed for tilting enemies and attacking them while they less expect it. Be sure to never fight alone early game unless it's an easy 1v1. With his built in dash with invisibility, Shaco is one of the most terrifying Champions of the Rift. |
Cons
- Weak early ganks if not used to them. - Hard to play. Extremely hard to master. - You MUST stay focused and calmed to play him. - You'll get flamed sometimes for picking him. - Squishy champ. - He have troubles against ![]() ![]() Shacos weaknesses relies of how different he is. While his one-shots and plays are rewarding, a single mistake can make you throw a huge lead. It's important that you stay focused on him and you master all of his kit in order to feel as much confortable as possible with the mad jester. |
Why Shaco instead of Elise/LeeSin/Whoever

Many people ask me which is the actual role of




Is he a carry?No.
Is he an initiator/engager? No.
Is he a tank? No.
Is he a support jungler? No.
Is he an assassin like

Is he a bruiser that can fight for a long time? No.
So.. What can this little funny guy do for my team? Is it there anything he can do better than anyone?
Shaco Roles

Shaco Skillset - In Depth



![]() ![]() Aaaah... Deceive. This is probably ![]() ![]() IMPORTANT: WITH THE RECENT REWORK, DECEIVE CAN CRIT WHEN STRIKING WHEN BACKSTABBING. |
We will grab this Amazing heaven gift at lvl 2 and is gone stay as youre one-point-wonder ability.

Tips and Tricks
- Placing a
Jack In The Box in the feet of an enemy during a 1vs1 can make you win the fight. Never forget it.
- In teamfights use it to protect your carry. Place a
Jack In The Box near your
Varus, so when that
Kha'Zix jumps into his face to burst him he will get feared and you'll be able to burst him down.
- Place one or two boxes before a Teamfight, they'll grant you and your team an escape route if things go wrong.
- It not only grants vision to you, but your teammates. Gift the lane you ganked with a Box in that bush without a ward. If you are low and the ganked one died, their jungler may be coming. Put a box, save a life.
- You can place a box in front on you when
Blitzcrank is grabbing you. If the box is still visible when the grab reach it, it will take the box instead of you.
- Always take care of your mana. If you are in middle of a fight and you have less than 150MP, dont be a suicidal machine and use that mana to place a box that will probably die in secs. You'll may need that MP to
Deceive to safety.
- Red trinket reveals Shaco boxes, but it doesn't deactivate them anymore.
![]() ![]() An amazing ability that will work both as a finishing nuke and as a perma-redbuff. With the recent chagnes, TWO-SHIV POISON DEALS BONUS DAMAGE WHEN STRIKING FROM BEHIND. |
Since the slow power, the damage and the miss % increases with the skill level, you're going to want to max out

Rework Changes
Good news: It deals enhanced damage according to enemy missing HP, but being the max already when under 30% (yay!),it scales with bonus AD (yay x2!) and now DEALS MAGIC DAMAGE (yay x3!)

Tips and Tricks
- Don't use your
Two-Shiv Poison to engage. NEVER, unless you're facing someone like
Sivir or
Nocturne that could block it.
Two-Shiv Poison does magic damage now. That means that even if we're building AD and enemy builds armor, they will take a lot of damage from it!
- You can use your
Deceive+Tiamat Active + AA +
Two-Shiv Poison combo, but just to finish a carry who is low. NEVER to initiate a full gank/fight unless your target is epicly overextended.
- Remember this skill PROCS
Backstab AGAIN. Always try to use it from behind, a knife thrown right between the eyebrows won't hurt as much as if it is thrown on the back.
![]() What is worse than one annoying ![]() ![]() |
Just take


Tips and Tricks
- Shaco's have 75% of your AD, but procs all on-hit sources of damage such as
Blade of the Ruined King and
Duskblade of Draktharr. Your Hail of Blades will proc on Shacos Clone, too!
- Controlling your Clone (alt+click) is an art to be mastered. Think as if you were using two champs at once, don't use your main shaco and clone shaco by turns.
- It's really easy to bait with
Hallucinate. If someone is chasing you and your
Deceive is on cooldown, enter a bush, use
Hallucinate and make the Clone go out to the path you would normally take if you were fleeing. If they chase him it will explode and damage your follower, while letting you deceiving out to safety (if you are low and he high on hp) or deceiving in (if you think you can kill it) for the WOMBOCOMOBO of
Hallucinate explode +
Deceive + Tiamat active + AA +
Two-Shiv Poison + Thunderlords.
- If you are 1vs1ing and someone fights you back (and is facing you), position your clone at his back and make him attack from there, so he procs
Backstab.
Itemization!

THIS CHAPTER IS BEING UPDATED FOR SEASON 12. READ CAREFULLY. PERIOD.
If you are OK with this, let's go on this guide. Enjoy![/color]
NOW YES, ITEMS
You must understand that Shaco doesn't have a fixed item setup. You need to adapt to the team you have and the team you're facing in order to take the maximum profit from the gold you spend. Don't stick into a fixed build, or you will find yourself failing in a game while you actually played nice and you won't understand why.
So lets start with the items:
Starting Items
![]() |
|
emberknife: Standard start. Better exp, better farm, better sustain, basically a must for every jungler out there. We're taking this little guy at lvl 1. Ember is usually better than ![]() |
Core Items
![]() |
|
Tiamat:Used to be a core, not that strong anymore since Riot Removed the Active and it only works for a slightly faster clear now. Our boxes deal AOE damage now, so we should be clearing fine without it. Don't use tiamat. |
![]() |
|
Eclipse: I love it. Nice mobility, nice stats, nice shield. Eclipse is a wonderful tool for moving around a fight without being a super-duper-easy target to melt, and for counterjungle-obsessed players like me. |
![]() |
|
Duskblade of Draktharr:Amazing for Assassin Shaco. Duskblade will make your enemies explode in a little fart. It sinergyzes TOO GOOD with Shaco's passive, Deceive and ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
|
Essence Reaver:Essence Reaver is a blessing for Shaco in season 11. Not even a mythic item, this little guy provide us with everything we need: plnety of AD, haste, Crit, MP and a wonderful passive that will melt carries when coupled with other items/runes. Definetely a must nowadays after our Mythic |
Situational Items
![]() |
|
The Collector: Collector is a wonderful item when you're facing squishier teams. it's letalithy and passive will enhance your snowball, and the Crit will rush your Infinite Edge build. While is not that good against tanks, this can be your 3th item in 40% of your games |
![]() |
|
Lord Dominik's Regards: I'm in love with this item. Armor melting to kill bruisers and tanks, critical chance to kill squishies. I've become a dominik's lover for a while, and you should definetely get this if there is at least 2 armor users in enemies Team. |
![]() |
|
Infinity Edge (needs testing): The old Infinity Edge is back. The old Shaco kit is slightly back. With them, it's viability for Shaco. Shaco's passive, Deceive and two shiv poison proc it. There are better items for an early game, so focus on getting a lead and let Infinite Edge become the icing on the cake of your build. |
![]() |
|
Guardian Angel: Guardian angel brings great aid when facing bursty AD champions. Being able to survive the first combo can be the difference between winning or losing, but you shouldn't be the one engaging in the first place. GA is a wonderful choice when an enemy saves his combo specifically for you. |
![]() |
|
Maw of Malmortius: You are not going to use Malmortius a lot. It's a situational items that can work wonders in certain situations, and be useless and a waste of money in others. Take it when you're fighting a Fed AP burster (annie/Karthus+nunu, Katarina) and you need to burst her faster than it bursts you. |
![]() |
|
Mortal Reminder: Like Maw of Malmortius, Last whisper and Mortal reminder are situational items. Extremely strong in some situations and pointless in other ones, you'll have to use your brain in order to decide if to purchase it or not. Mortal is an AMAZING choice when you have tanky, sustainish champions as enemies (Fiora,Vladimir,Mordekaiser,swain) as you will melt them. Useless against squishy targets. |
Worth Mentioning
![]() |
|
Bloodthirster: Interesting lategame item. While earlygame the shield is kinda "meh", in lategame it's huge and it has great stats. Overall an offensive-defensive item that fits Shaco quite a lot when he gets a duelling role. |
BOOT CHOICE
![]() |
|
Boots:Even after the nerf, they still are a must for early ganks. Don't do your second back if you can't afford them. |
![]() |
|
Berserker's Greaves:I used to hate this boots. A lot. Not only I used to hate them, but I thought they were the worst option for Shaco. However, with the new jungle and new runes, I still have the mobility I used to have with ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
|
Boots of Mobility: Some Shaco players still use these. Too bad this boots got nerfed and you now lose speed while in combat. IMO They are meant now for AD casters who can just go in fast, explode someone in 0.5 secs (yo kha'zix) and run away. |
IMPORTANT: Remember that we creators rely on you readers to grow. If this guide somehow helps you out, PLEASE VOTE IT and comment so I can keep improving!
Season 11 Runes
90% of AD Shaco players use Hail of Blades. 90% of AP Shaco players use Dark harvest. Some random people use Electrocute and thats OK.
✦ ![]() Hail of blades has recently become the main choice for Shaco Players. HoB now brings a wonderful tool for ![]() |
✦ ![]() Electrocute is a safe, wonderful choice for newbie Shacos. Similar to the old Thunderlords, it gives a little burst to your combo that people doesn't usualy expect. Those of you that come from playing other assassins like Kha'zix will enjoy using this for a while. |
✦ ![]() Dark Harvest is the greedy choice for those Shaco players that expect a lead. Shaco's kit doesn't include a lot of direct damage, so getting Harvest stacks is going to be hard. This is, however, an amazing choice for AP Shaco. |
Summoner Spells

Summoner Spells
Smite hands down. This is one of the best spells of the game! Not only cause it let you finish the jungle buffs faster and safer, but allows you to counterjungle and steal every single monster in game including baron and dragon. With the new buffs, Smite is also a part of your burst combo. |
Amazing for finishing people and extra damage. The other choice instead of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The spell everyones loves. I'm not an exception, I think ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Jungling as Shaco

Now listen kids, Remember your roles as

Your job is to make your team incredibly fed and strong, and enemy team incredibly useless and weak so your team can stand a 4vs5 lategame while you splitpush like a beast and destroy all the turrets.
And to do this you have to do things that solves both missions:
- Abuse your strong ganks early.
- Steal enemy jungle creeps so they get tilted and underleveled.
- Let your mid have your raptor whenever possible so he get ahead in gold.
- Steal enemy buffs whenever possible (care with wards)
- If your midlaner is mana-dependant, make him have always your Blue buff.
- Shaco traps are strong early. Try to kill enemy jungler to make him stay behind.
If you do these jobs correctly, you'll get as much Gold as you would if you kept farm your camps over and over. Now lets see how do we do all those things.
Minion Spawns
- Minor Monster Spawn: 1:30
Respawn time: 60s
- Major Minion Spawn (Blu & Red buffs): 1:30
Respawn time: 300s/5m
- Dragon Spawn: 2:30
Respawn time: 360s/6m
- Baron Spawn: 20:00
Respawn time: 420s/7m
Jungle routes
The most efficient route to start as Shaco is, for me,the one that lets Shaco be level 4 at 3:20. Which is a huge lead in comparison to other junglers.
STEPS:
- Buy a
Hunter's Talisman and refillable potion/bead.
- Head your RAPTORS. Ask your teammates to cover.
- Place 3 boxes on the camp in a triangle.
- You don't need help, but ask for your teammates to pull a bit if you want, at this point they will be wondering WTF is this
Shaco doing.
- After cleaning the chickens, go after your red buff and clear it with your box tanking it.
- Get those Krugs.
- If you do it right, you will be level 3 at 2:35 aprox. Your job now is to make a decision: Gank your closest lane or go to farm/counterjungle.
REMEMBER that Krugs give more experience than any other camp in the jungle, so be sure to clear them (both yours AND enemy krugs).
Try to steal enemy little neutrals as much as possible. As always, kill all but an small one (p.e. 2 little wraiths and the big blue one, leaving 1 little alive) to max the gold losing for enemies and preventing the respawn.
When you reach lvl 11 and get yourTiamat, start helping your team pushing lanes and destroy turrets. If 1 or 2 turrets have been destroyed already, start splitpushing.
Efficient Ganks
This is the other main part where I see many
Shaco players fail too. As we all know,
Shaco early ganks are incredibly strong. However, if they are not well performed they can be easily evaded by an skilled player. If the enemy you gank have an escape mechanism (
LeBlanc,
Ezreal,
Riven...) this is even more important.
So lets say you are on a game, you took your Wolves and Blue Buff and stole enemy Red like a baws. Now Seems that it's the perfect time to gank a lane and score a first blood. But... sh1t, you enemy in top is a
Riven and she warded river bush. How could you gank her without her noticing it, and good enough to score the kill?
Where to
Shaco is one of the few junglers who can avoid being discovered by wards if well played, specially river ward, the most common one. When you're ganking as
Shaco you should never gank from river. At least, taking the mid path. The 3.5 stealth and the jump
Deceive provides can make you gank from amazing positions. Here's a pic from where you should gank only:
As you see, you should never gank directly from river but from alternative routes. Your
Deceive lets you do it, and you should use it. This way enemies will be aware of your gank when you already hit them, not when they see your POOF red smoke.
The white spots are where you should
Deceive from, then you'll see the paths you should take when invisible. The blue ones are the paths that you'll do more often as blue team and viceversa. However, all routes can be done while playing in any team.
So we just Deceived in a gankable lane. How should we act now? It also depends on WHO ARE WE GANKING. Depending on it, our performing will be different on ganks:
Option 1: Baitable Trade
We will use this when we are ganking an enemy who is pretty strong in Early Trades. Most common cases are
Riven,
Darius or
Garen. They are so strong early, and they tend to bully his opponent to zone him and deny his farm. This also applies to epicly strong Botlane combos, like
Leona+
Ezreal.
How to do it:
Our objective is to bait a trade that will turn into a 2vs1.
We will deceive in, but we don't attack yet. Tell your teammate/s your intentions by pinging the target so he initiates it. Enemie/s will expose and initiate what they will think is a 1vs1 or a 2vs2 early trade, which they also think they'll probably win. After the engage and after enemy initiated (so often they do initiate with the escaping skill too, since "nobody is coming from river", he he he), go in and turn the battle into a 2vs1. They will panic, going back trying to save his butt.. so you will face his back. Do you know what does it means?
Backstab.
When going in you have 2 choices. If there are no minions, your most efficient move will probably be placing a
Jack In The Box between the enemy and his turret. So you make the fleeing even harder. The other option is to proc your Q from behind inmediately if the enemy is squishy and you think you can melt him, or if you think enemy is slow enough to place your jibt later.
with red, your passive E and with box fear you'll mostly get the kill. If the enemy flash away, use the active of your E to catch him up.
Option 2: Pwn da weak
We will use this when we are ganking an enemy who is pretty weak in Early Trades or doesn't like trades at all. Most common cases are
Nasus,
Vayne or
Veigar. These people hate engaging and just want to farm lategame, when they will be able to kill even the shop guy. We can't ask the ally that is laning with him to initiate, cause that will make our enemy flee and gank will be harder.
So what to do? Tell your teammate you're going to gank, but ask him to let you position behind enemy first ] so he can't flee that easy.
How to do it:
Our objective is to SURPRISE and instakill.
So we have a
Garen in our team facing an enemy
Vladimir. If our Garen pops his Q and go in to initiate the gank, Vlad will most likely go back to a safer position to poke instead of fighting back. We don't want this.
Instead of waiting, if our ally is in range we will just pop our Q from behind to proc
Backstab to full damage. If enemy doesn't have much hp, we can also combo it with our
Two-Shiv Poison active and place a
Jack In The Box between him and his turret.

If this don't happen or he just used flash before, your teammate will be able to help you to kill him thanks to your red buff +
Two-Shiv Poison OP slow. Even if enemy managed to escape, you helped your bully teammate to zone his enemy even more. Now he will be just too scared to try to approach and farm, specially if you ganked him in the middle of the lane.
Whatever you are facing, you should be keeping on with the pressure the whole game, even when lane phasing is over. You must give the enemy fear. Make enemies think they will never have a true XvsX since you could be anywhere, hiding somehwere preparing to rush in and turn the battle.
After few turrets are dead and you lead your team epicly ahead, change your role from epic counterjungler/ganker to splitpusher thanks to your
Ravenous Hydra, your Clone and your team.

Tips and Tricks
- Try to keep on the communication with your team. Ask them for the placement of enemy
Vision Ward so you can avoid them better.
Shaco is one of the best lane-gankers of the game. If there is a
Vision Ward on river 'cause the enemy laner knows you may come after him, try to gank directly from lane. Use
Deceive in your turret and run towards the mid of the lane to start a 2vs1.
- Remember that enemies can see your *poof* red smoke when you
Deceive, even trough fog of war. Be sure they aren't close enough to see it.
- The range of
Deceive has been nerfed recently (WTF RIOT), so if you used to play
Shaco and you want to play him back again, get adviced that jumping walls is harder now.
- Most junglers needs the lane somehow pushed to gank efficiently so the enemy cant escape even when they have seen you thanks to
Vision Ward. Shaco can't gank in any point of the lane, specially when both laners are trading at mid, since the enemy won't expect a gank yet.
How to gank
So we just Deceived in a gankable lane. How should we act now? It also depends on WHO ARE WE GANKING. Depending on it, our performing will be different on ganks:
