Shaco Build
the Demon Jester
Crafted long ago as a plaything for a lonely prince, the enchanted marionette Shaco now delights in murder and mayhem. Corrupted by dark magic and the loss of his beloved charge, the once-kind puppet finds pleasure only in the misery of the poor souls he torments. He uses toys and simple tricks to deadly effect, finding the results of his bloody “games” hilarious—and for those who hear a dark chuckle in the dead of night, the Demon Jester may have marked them as his next plaything.
The most played Shaco Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Hail of Blades with Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos and Relentless Hunter, plus Coup de Grace and Legend: Alacrity from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Ignite. Start with Gustwalker Hatchling and Health Potion, then build Blackfire Torch, Berserker's Greaves and The Collector, followed by Infinity Edge, Lord Dominik's Regards and Guardian Angel. Max E (Two-Shiv Poison) first, then Q (Deceive), then W (Jack In The Box). It has a 49.7% win rate and a 5.4% pick rate.
