Shaco's Abilities

Guides Builds Counters Skins Abilities Q&A To Top

Backstab Shaco's Passive

Self

Shaco's basic attacks and Two-Shiv Poison deal additional damage when striking from behind.

- Basic attacks deal an additional 20-35 (+0.3 per bonus attack damage) bonus physical damage (depending on level). This damage can critically strike.
- Two-Shiv Poison deals an additional 15−50 (+10% of ability power) bonus magic damage (depending on level).

Deceive Shaco's Q Ability

400

12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10

Shaco teleports and becomes invisible for 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 / 3.25 / 3.5 seconds. Using Jack In The Box or Hallucinate does not break invisibility. Shaco's next attack while invisible deals an additional 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 (+0.65 per bonus attack damage) physical damage. If striking from behind, this attack critically strikes for 55% (+45% with Infinity Edge) damage.

Jack In The Box Shaco's W Ability

425

70 / 65 / 60 / 55 / 50

Shaco creates a Jack in the Box at the target location, which becomes stealthed after 2 seconds. When an enemy comes near (300 range), the box will trigger, fearing nearby enemy champions for 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds and reducing their movement speed to 100, while fearing all other enemies for 2 seconds and reducing their movement speed to 60.

The box will also start firing at nearby enemies, dealing 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+12% of ability power) magic damage to them with each attack (increased by 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 against monsters, reduced by 50% against structures). If the box attacks only one unit, this damage is increased to 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (+18% of ability power) per attack.

A Jack in the Box lasts for up to 40 (+5% of ability power) seconds while stealthed, or up to 5 seconds once triggered.

Two-Shiv Poison Shaco's E Ability

625

Passive: While this ability is off cooldown, Shaco's attacks slow the target by 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30% for 2 seconds.

Active: Shaco throws a shiv, dealing 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 (+60% of ability power) (+0.8 per bonus attack damage) magic damage and slowing by 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30% for 3 seconds. If the target has less than 30% health, the shiv deals 50% increased damage.

Hallucinate Shaco's Ultimate (R) Ability

250

100

100 / 90 / 80 / 80 / 80

Shaco stealths for half a second and creates a clone of himself nearby, which deals 60% of Shaco's damage and receives 50% increased damage. The clone takes double damage from turrets and deals 35% damage to turrets and inhibitors. The clone lasts up to 18 seconds.

On death, the clone deals 150 / 225 / 300 (+70% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies, while also leaving behind a nest of three Jack in the Boxes which activate instantly, fearing nearby enemies for 1 second.

The nest lasts for up to 6 seconds, during which the boxes attack nearby enemies, dealing 10 / 20 / 30 (+10% of ability power) magic damage per attack. This damage is increased to 25 / 50 / 75 (+15% of ability power) magic damage per attack if the boxes attack a single unit.
