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 Support 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 Ignite and Flash. Start with Health Potion, then build Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Blackfire Torch and Ionian Boots of Lucidity, followed by Liandry's Torment, Imperial Mandate and Morellonomicon. Max W (Jack In The Box) first, then E (Two-Shiv Poison), then Q (Deceive). It has a 49.1% win rate and a 1.3% pick rate.
