This Guide is based on life steal, attack speed and critical damage.

This guide has been made so that I can give something back to the lovely community that has given me so much, I really do hope that this guide will teach you new shaco players how to play shaco, and for the veteran shaco players I hope the guide polishes and gives you a wider view of the different ways you can play shaco.

Wriggle's Lantern - Must have, it gives you a boost in armor, damage and lifesteal! But the most important part of this item is how cost-effective it is, for 1600g with a steady build-up makes this pure gold. Not to mention the ward, to help you always have eyes on baron or dragon.
Boots of Speed - The choice of boots are very situational, get Boots of Mobility if you feel like you will be roaming more and need the speed in stealth to reach your target. It is useful against certain mobility champions such as Kassadin and Riven.
Zeal will give you much needed mobility and also boosts the speed of auto-attacks which will help you deal damage faster. The critical strike will not show as much but when it does, it will be a very noticeable burst! If you are lucky enough to get a critical after [Deceive], with the addition of the sheen effect. Lol gg damage.
