Introduction
This is a build for AD Shaco, emphasizing his quick attack speed, hard hitting opener, Deceive, and focusing on stacking armor pen, this build is used mainly for 3v3, as I've noticed that's where Shaco has the best survivability, and with this build you can pick off champions before they even know what's hit em.
As with several builds/guides, this is not a "Do this or your ****ing head will explode from failure" this is simply how I play, and what seems to work best for me. Having said that, this is a slight change in a popular build that I've found seems to work a bit better, so let's get started.






Greater Mark of Desolation I go with 9 of these, since once you rip away someone's armor, their pretty defenseless (and naked XD)
Early game Shaco is pretty mana dependent, the combination of E harass, dropping Boxes, and stealthing like a ninja with Deceive can be pretty taxing, this helps you stay in your lane without having to worry about mana pots, at least long enough to get Sheen.
Nothing sucks more than running around Deceiving people left and right only to find it's on cooldown, or dropping your E down for some quick harass is always nice as well, 9 of these runes helps that out.
Greater Quintessence of Desolation Once again, it's all about stabbing naked people.

Start yourself off with
and 3
that should keep you in lane long enough to take any harass, since you've got the mana regen from your runes, you really only gotta worry about your health, once I hit 1000 gold I go back for
and
Feel free to go back and get your boots sooner if things start to get out of hand and you need the movement/attack speed bonus right away. Assuming your health pots are gone, the life steal from the scepter will help keep you in lane long enough to get
This item is just overall amazing for Shaco, the bonus damage, the armor, the higher life steal, the 500 damage to minions, and the free ward every 3 minutes basically makes this a must have.
Next we go for
this takes care of your mana problems for the rest of the game, and now your Deceive is gonna hit like a truck, let the ownage ganking commence! Once you've saved up enough cash you'll be going for
which shortly after, since it's relatively cheap *drum roll*
Stacked with the armor pen from your runes and the armor pen from this item, along with the speed bonus makes you a killing machine. Decieve behind someone and watch yourself tear them to pieces in only a few hits, even tanks drop down insanely fast.
The rest of the items are simply icing on the cake, get
for a nice movement, attack speed, and crit bonus, which will later become your
If for some odd reason the game is still going and you haven't decided to back door their turrets and/or Nexus, go for
and turn that into the always handy
if the game is STILL going on you can turn that sheen into
and have fun 3 shotting people (You will literally 3 shot them, tested it out in a custom game with my cousin XD oh and at that speed 3 shots is 1.5 seconds, enjoy the mayhem! :D)

Early Game
Start off with Two-shiv poison and go in for the gank, focus someone, hurl a dagger at their face, and help your team tear them to shreds, assuming you weren't focused yourself, your team should get an easy first blood if you pop Exhaust and Ignite. I alternate back and forth between top and bottom lanes, Shaco can do either quite well as long as you keep up the E harass, you pretty much don't need to worry about mana. Stay in your lane till your at 1000 gold and get your boots and vampiric scepter, and keep an eye out for anyone who appears gankable, a quick Deceive followed by a Two-Shiv Poison can take out half health on some of the squishier champions early on.
Mid Game
By now you should have your Lantern, and working on Sheen or already have it if things have be going smoothly, start farming that dragon, and every time it pops back up, ninja your way through the jungle, Deceive past the wall and burn it down in moments before the other team has probably even said "Shaco mia" That extra gold will go a long way toward your build, also feel free to jungle for more buffs and keep your Lantern ward on the red buff Lizard as that's the most trafficked area in a 3v3.
End Game
Now this is where the fun begins, unfortunately this is also where most games end as well, once you've got your Black Cleaver, it's time to burn down anyone who crosses your path or that of your team, assuming your team isn't a complete failboat, you can take on just about anyone, and use those Jack in the boxes! One of the first games I tried this build, I got Master Yi and Jax to follow me into a bush with a Jack in the box, popped Deceive and burned down Yi by the time the fear was over, and Jax went down shortly after. Once the other team sees you've got Black Cleaver, they'll be too scared to leave their Base, and anyone who does, wreck em.
