Hey, I'm a Shaco onetrick in Plat. My accounts are Kitty Delivery and Sir Omi. I started playing Shaco around last year and quickly climbed from Silver to Plat with him. This guide is essentially what i think when i play Shaco and what items I usually take and in what situations. LMK if you have any tips as well, i'm always willing to learn and improve!

Now Runes are tricky on Shaco, a lot work. The two main keystones Shaco takes are Dark harvest and Electrocute. I take electrocute in this meta because it gives Shaco more early game power. Dark harvest is still fine, it just takes a lot longer to get online. I take either precision or sorcery second tree. I like transcendence and scorch on Shaco because of the AD transcendence gives because my build gives a lot of cdr and scorch because of the little bit of extra damage it gives. Precision can also work, it offers faster clears and compliments Shaco's already high base attack speed. You should take alacrity and coup de grace if you do decide precision.

Shaco is one of the most item dependent champs in the game so the items you pick are very important. Shaco can go multiple build paths which is why I love him. However Trinity is almost always a must have. It is Shaco's strongest item. When to build it is up to you but it is usually my second or first item. Okay, i start with a hunter's machete and Rejuv bead. I start Rejuv bead because it builds into tiamat and you don't really need refillable as Shaco. I usually buy Mobi boots after i get a Dirk for easy gank and map pressure. My first complete item is Duskblade, it gives a lot of early game power with your clone. Second item is Trinity force. Like i said Trinity force is Shaco's best friend. It gives so many stats that are good on Shaco. Youmuus gives a lot of movespeed with Mobi boots so it is always a nice buy on Shaco. Guardian Angel is also really nice because of the passive which allows you to dive the backline and then be able to Q away to safety. I usually finish my hydra or sell it for another AD items like death dance or edge of night. At this point though any item should be able to kill their carries if you are ahead. Now IF the team has a lot of CC or is heavy AP then switch some items out for Maw and get some Merc Treads.

Now This is a recent build i've been testing. I found a pretty good success with it so here it goes. First, RUNES: Yes, i go either fleeting footwork or press the attack. Electrocute can also work but i've been finding more success with precision tree for some reason. You start the game off like standard Shaco and go the normal jg routes. However after tiamat you go cinderhulk/Redsmite. Red smite is really good for dueling. Next go Trinity force because again, it is Shaco's best item. Now the next item obviously depends on the enemy team. IF they are heavy MR go Merc treads and get an either early Maw Or Spirit visage. IF you are ahead just get a Maw but if your team has loads of damage get a Spirit. Next either go thornmail or deadmans. If they have like a auto attack heavy champs then thornmail is probably your best bet.

Despite what people think, Shaco has a pretty weak early game. His lvl 1 Q is only 1.5 seconds and his e is pretty much a liability. RED SIDE: If you start red side of the map then i start red buff then ward their blue. This way while i'm doing scuttle I can see if I can cheese their blue buff or an early kill on them. If i take their blue and block them from their top side then i will also take gromp and scuttle. I then go to my blue and take bottom scuttle so i deny two scuttles. BLUE SIDE: I also start red but don't go for their blue because they probably start that side. I go do wolves-Blue to scuttle OR do scuttle first if i suspect they will try to get an early scuttle. Boxes are good for scuttles, use your box to ZONE and vision on their enemy jgler when taking scuttle. Look for ganks lvl 4 when your q is rank 2.

In mid game, if you didn't fall behind you should be pretty strong. Duskblade Trinity damage is very high with your clone and you should be able to 1v1 pretty much anyone. Shove sidelanes to try and get carries to farm those waves. You should have a red trinket by now so sweep for vision. In team fights what you wanna do is go in and place boxes around the area you believe a team fight can occur. Try to get on their carries but if you cannot then run away and try to clean up when fights are over. Try to get carries out of the fight, if your team is even, it's worth for you to give your life for a carry.
Late game is kinda difficult. Here you really need to kill a carry or at least take him out the fight. You can't really frontline so look for flank positions with your oracle lens.

Overall, the world is your oyster with Shaco. You can go tanky, bruiser or assasin with Shaco. I plan on trying to hit diamond this season with Shaco and will update the guide if i discover something new. Give me feedback and tips if you feel like you can make me or the guide better at Shaco. Peace <3
