6)outro



1) INTRO

Shaco is one of the heroes in this game that really screw with ppls mind.
his jack in the box is able to deal almost 200 dmg/shot as soon as its lvl 5
atleast if u have farmed for a few items. loads of ppl in this game are (sry to say) stupid
and this is where Shaco really get to his full potential.

when i first played Shaco i went for physical dmg (as most playes does)
this however ISNT the best way of playing him. the only skill that really syncs
with attack power is his stealth that "uhhh op crits alot"
but his stealth in my opinion isnt an offensive skill.
i use it as a defensive skill.. and further more i use it to tickle noob balls

2)SKILL BUILD

Skill build is IMPORTENT!
and should look like this:

Jitb (jack in the box)
Deceive (stealth)
Jitb
Two-Shiv-Poison (nuke/slow)
Jitb
Hallucinate (ulti)
Jitb
Two-Shiv-Poison
Jitb
Two-Shiv-Poison
Hallucinate
Two-Shiv-Poison
Two-Shiv-Poison
Deceive
Deceive
Hallucinate
Deceive
Deceive

3)MASTERIES

Masteries really doesnt matter much
use whatever u use on other Ability power based chars.

4)SUMMONER SPELLS

THE MUST SPELL: SMITE

quote from online games: "ZOMFG noob smite sux on shaco
u should use ignite or something more usefull then smite"

But NO! this isnt noobish.. let me explain.
first of all this will boost u very soon in the game form forrest creeps
before ur creeps even get past the tower, u will have killed the medium creeps
(lesser Golems/wolves) to do this u will have to get our there as fast as possible
to put op some Jack in the boxes, make sure to smite down one of the creeps as fast
as possible, to make this effecient. ex. u geta golem spawn u own it
with 3 Jack in the boxes+smite u run out on ur lane u see the first enemy creep die
*DING* u are now lvl 2... what a jumpstart!
Furthermore smite allows u to solo the buffcreeps earlier on.. and beleive me
Golem buff ROX on ap shaco.

Second summoner ability: what ever u like. i use teleport to be effecient when i need to shop
and if in the rare case where i die to early i use it to get back on the lane fast.

5) ITEMS
u have two possible items as ur first item

1. item
MY FAVORIT:
Meki Pendant
Null-Magic Mantle
finish Chalice of Harmony
or
THE OTHER POSSIBLE ITEM
Meki Pendant
Regrowth Pendant
finish Philosopher's Stone

2. item
Boots of Speed
Amplifying Tome
finish Sorcerer's Shoes

3. item
Amplifying Tome
Blasting Wand
finish Mejai's Soulstealer

from now on it isnt so importen what u buy but i this is what i use
if the game last longer then the first 3 items. ofc depending on my enemies.
u might need hp magic resist armor and stuff like that.

4. item
Rod of ages

5. item
lichbane

6. item
zhonyas ring


6) OUTRO
I should mention that ur best time is early and mid game..
so u need to try and finish it as fast as possible..

well i could give u a guide on "how to play ap shaco" but i wont
the reason for this is simple.. if u develope ur own playstyle
u will get a better resault.. in the long run this will be the best
that gives u a chance to learn how to be a better player
as i said in the item part (5) after the 3 basic items u should really
learn to read the situation and play after that. AP shaco isnt a real carry
he is more like the annoying dude that keeps u down so that shacos team can roflface u
without any concern.

Peace out

it actually works ... just played a game with this build, 6/2/1 after 13 minutes .... then when we hit 15 minutes my team surrendered, because they fed the other team to 30 kills >_> ... jesus christ i hate noobs!

i always thought two shiv should be maxed first... just me?

p.s. we don't hate noobs, we hate pros who play like noobs and mess up our teams.

I've always been a fan of Jitb, but then again I rarely played shaco and when I did AP was the preferred flavor. Now that its atk dmg, you might be right.

Sry OP I think atkdmg is the way to go now on him

here is IMO:

AP is stronger than Atk shaco til roughly 15-20 minutes in. Both are equal (strong) til roughly 30-35 minutes in. Atk shaco then outpaces AP shaco pretty significantly.

So yes, it does depend on how you want to play. If you're looking to end the game quick, go AP shaco. If you're willing to take a minor early game hit for lategame insurance (which imo is the smarter choice, even if you want a shorter game), go atk.
