MUST KNOW SHACO TIPS & TRICKS | Shaco Guide

[@Nauxististicx]

One trick id share is when u press ult and u disappear from the world, the right click commands u do in this period will be instructed to your champion when you re-appear. After which, spam R to control your clone so it looks like theres 0 lag time for both clowns. this will confuse enemies
E.g. Cast Ult > right mouse click enemy/ move to a certain spot 1 time > Spam R to move your clone the moment it re appears > both clowns re appear
= seamless movement of 2 clowns in opposite directions. very good mind games
Like so other fellow clown can see this tip

I don't get it :(

[@gerardmenjouis4095]

@SaffronTown @Kirabeatz - @Others - How to do it :
1 - Press R
2 - During the cloning time :
[Right mouse click] to order what you want to do when you reappear + [Spam R] to control the clone

[@raresdobrinean1583]

Or use r and control the clone first, and then move yourself, to make it look like the clone is actually you

3:41 this also works for attacking. Sometimes you can just run straight at them. And you can aa all day long. They are to afraid to pop the clone for some reason xD

Ah finally ive been waiting for 1 year lol when you said you were gonna make a new shaco tips and tricks video

[@DesperateShaco]

glad you like it :)

[@keqz9580]

one great trick i started using after watching pinkward play ap support is walking the clone in to tower when for example chasing an enemy after a gank instead of autoattacking with it that way especially in early game the clone dies after just 2 tower shots abd fears the enemy usually somewhere around the edge of the tower range giving u around 2 extra seconds to hit the enemy before they can reach the safety of their tower (kinda hard to explain but if u know what i mean its a nice little trick)

[@DesperateShaco]

yeah thats something i picked up like a year or two from watching chase, really good tip, thanks!

[@Yoshimtsu]

[@samalamaduma2557]

the clone dance trick is the most cool and useful

[@DesperateShaco]

agreed

[@ignaciogarciagarcia9176]

Great video, but there's a thing that isn't in the video and you might not know, if your r it's tanking a turret (alone), and, in the exact moment it dies, put a box under the turret, the turret will kill the boxes of the copy, but the box that you did put will be bugged and the turret doesn't kill it (try it and tell me, ty for the video)

[@DesperateShaco]

that sounds interesting, thats more like a bug then right? do you have a clip of that happening by any chance?

[@graybarron7695]

i did this in practice tool a few weeks ago lol I thought it was a bug

[@TheAngryEgg1]

great video man, thanks :D
use to play shaco support alot 7 years ago but this was a very solid refresher :D

[@DesperateShaco]

glad i could be of help :)

[@egirlvanilla5504]

Shaco otp since 2014, Nice tip well.. More like bug is to Q and insta R after, it actually launches your clone towards while teleporting your original body to where you Q from. Also remember that blocking spells works only right after placed, if box goes invisible it wont block it. When you Q to gank lets say botlane, always place box before you go in like couple of inches behind enemy, just not in the way of minions. Another cool aspect people tend to not know is when you Q from bushes, the smoke that comes of is only on your screen, enemy wont actually see that smoke 😊👍🏻 Im glad theres more Shaco players so nów maybe Riot will take care of so many bugs there are (I even feared myself with own Box, happend multiple times or my clone after being killed didnt explode spawning no boxes 😅) im sure youll run into couple of those bugs, Shaco is especially good and underrated as support but not many realize how hes an amazing anti gank machine, you always have box on way from river and just chill 🤣 Also, always prefer to go all in lvl3, its his first spike, then 6. In jungle with all honesty, take all kills, Shaco when snówballed is extremaly deadly but if behind without kills you fall behind very very badly. Last thing : Try Bruisco or Tanco, actually fun builds to run on him 🤣 Especially with new stride that slows and let you just stick to enemies like glue 😊 Dont forget, we are the reason hail of blades, crit builds and most new items are always changed/nerfed 😁👍🏻 All hail Shacos.

[@egirlvanilla5504]

Ah, and you let tower aggro big minion because League targeting works like that : Closest thing or champion gets focus but not after it already is targeting smh 😉 Its same in jg.

[@egirlvanilla5504]

I would gladly make some videos with routes, when you can cheese for lvl1 steal, and especially how people can counter you because not many know but smite works on Shaco boxes, so dont always go for your 5box raptor red clear, on higher ranks people often invi your jungle to stop you and watch out for goddamn oracles 😩

[@DesperateShaco]

ive actually been working on a bug list over the last few months, feel free to take a look and let me know if you have any clips of a bug that is not already on the list docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uw3CqH-5O_SrHBqyMffyCv1hl7Q3ITlSDDV9WlqRv88/edit#gid=0

Shaco 1 trick here, tips: even if red trinket and control ward reveal your boxes champs can still prock the fear. So don`t get tilted or intimidated sweeping lenses of control wards

[@krisztiannagy6760]

There is a tip i wanna give i have not seen anyone mention it honestly. Whenever a lane is pushed in and enemy attack tower, u can garante 1kill. q in to ur tower so they dont see u place the box behind them so when u appear enemy will go into it thats it free autoattacks.

[@DesperateShaco]

oh i could have added that, i forgot about that

You can also have the clone attack inhibitors by initially casting R with your mouse on the inhib.

are you 100% sure? ive never tried that LOL

I just tested it in practice tool and in a bot game, it didnt work in either.. im just so confused now because ive done so many times and it seemed to work...

Just to be sure, you cast R on the inhib without touching anything else. cant move the clone and then do it. its weird

[@xeno_.33]

when i play shaco i like to q and then ult between enemies because they will think that i m the clone and when i reapper i can kill them

@2:55 you should ult right before the dragon knocks you back so that it doesn't knock you back anymore.

[@bemtheman1100]

been getting into shaco, do you have any tips or tricks on how to control both yourself and the clone at the same time. When i fight i always just end up either focusing to much on my clone or on myself and end up either making it obvious which one is real by having one just standing still the whole time or something dumb like having my clone run away while i tank damage because I just wasnt paying enough attention to which was doing what. I feel like I just dont have the brain capacity in a fight to control two characters lmao. Is there anyway to just get better at piloting bothing your shacos at the same time or at least something you do to make it easier to manage?

[@DesperateShaco]

from what i remember your brain cant do 2 things at the same time so you just gotta get better at swapping between your clone and yourself as fast as you can and limit your moves (especially with your clone) as much as you can, so no excess clicks, keep them as low as possible so it requires as little multi tasking as possible

[@nicholasbelangermartin6269]

Learn so much thanks !!

I'm a month old player and started jungle like a week ago (I didn't know about smite so I had big issues) so I started playing shaco about 2 days ago and my two hardest things in my team and me hitting my back stabs. My team almost always leave me to get low when I gank, so Is their a way for me to make my ganks more effective/efficient with shaco. The backstabs part is something I get eventually but if there's any tips for m to improve on that feel free too tell me

[@DesperateShaco]

about the ganking part thats something that is really hard to tell withotu seeing what you are actually doing. about backstabing, just watch lots of shaco gameplay and see how the good shaco players walk around the camps to get backstabs in

[@Karomix3]

Me watching this video and just having played a few Shaco games and still hasn't figured out how to make the clone move independantly from you, like the opposite direction or going somewhere while I stay there, I must learn the basics and then go destroy my opponents.

[@DesperateShaco]

you can press the "S" key and then your character will stop moving, then you can simply use the "R" key or "ALT + Right Mouse Button" to control your clone :)

So, I've been a playing shaco since he came out, Have you noticed that they've changed how your boxes work on dragon? It seems in the last year they've made it so dragon doesn't randomly turn around and one shot your box anymore. With the buffs to his ap aswell I've been hard climbing ap shaco.

Anyone got any tips?

[@DesperateShaco]

still works just like i describe it in the video

[@xxBxCxxAmAzInG]

Since his Q is a teleport I know it has a bit of a delay on displacing you but can you Q straight through a skill shot the way you can flash through one? For example if morgana or lux throw a snare can I Q straight towards them without being affected?

[@DesperateShaco]

yeah, timing is very precise though

[@pablodiegosilvacosta]

One thing that really get me tilted is when the clone doesnt attack the baron if i use r to command it. When this bug happen, i must move the stupid clone a little bit with alt right click and then click on baron, otherwise the clone doesnt attack at all

neither, depends on your and the enemy team comp, i made a video on that a while back called "when to go ad or ap shaco"

@@DesperateShaco you said at start ask in comments if you want the math for the shiv damage

[@DesperateShaco]

@@Solarious ok there are 4 scenarios that can happen if you Q into Backstab
1. You DONT crit and you DONT have Infinity Edge. The damage you deal will be your auto attack, your Q damage and your Backstab multiplied by 1.55
2. You DO crit and you DONT have Infinity Edge. The damage you deal will be your auto attack, your Q damage and your Backstab multiplied by 1.75 (regular crit multiplier)
3. YOU DONT crit and you DO have Infinity Edge. The damage you deal will be your auto attack, your Q damage and your Backstab multiplied by 1.95 (1.55 from Backstab and +0.4 from Infinity Edge)
4. You Do crit and you DO have Infinity Edge. The damage you deal will be your auto attack, your Q damage and your Backstab multiplied by 2.15 (1.75 from crit and +0.4 from Infinity Edge)
hope that explains it. onhit effects like bork or sheen procs like trinity force dont get multiplied, only your auto attack damge, your Q and your Backstab damage.
