“Why so serious?! Feeling delirious. Mysterious! You’re wondering ‘How does he keep shivving us and killing us?!’ I think that joker is carnivorous! Deliver us from evil demon jester put the fear in us”-Badministrator

• All champions are chosen at random via Ultimate Bravery

  • Shaco is a menace many a league player fears the second his face shows up in champ select whether it be from being bamboozled or being obliterated from this plane of existence before even being aware he showed up behind you. In that spirit, this build especially in later stages like to play things quick and clean. Raising hell and getting out before enemies have time to register the fact they became living flesh kebabs.

  • Lore
    • 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.
    • No short stories or cinematics… kind of a waste imo. Shaco’s pretty cool

  • Single Target Burst. 7d6 Sneak Attacks on top of up to 3d8 4 psychic damage on Shadow Blade which can crit and is guaranteed a crit on sneak attack, on top of Booming Blade which is another 3d8 thunder damage and another 4d8 thunder damage if the target somehow isnt dead and decides to move for a total of up to 7d6 13d8 8 damage on a surprised enemy. With a good roll of gift of Alacrity, you can also get your initiative as high as 32 allowing you to get in that surprise attack and immediately do another full round action on them for another Shadow Blade Booming Blade attack without the guaranteed crit or sneak attack for another 10d8 4 damage. Even if you’re forced to fight a little more normally, the Shadow Blade Booming Blade combo does tons of damage for you.
  • Especially potent when able to get the jump on the enemy. The more time you have to setup, the more you can raise hell. Use some of your spells like invisibility or greater invisibility for recon and scout out the area. Set a fear glyph or 2 if you can before the fight starts to set its conditions in your favor. Sabotage is the name of the game and you’re the king of it.
  • Mobile
  • High AC. Mage Armor Bladesong Dual Wielder puts you at 21 AC. If you need to cast Shield, you can get it up to 26 AC

  • Midgame Wizard dip gimps your sneak attack damage for a little bit
  • Does not like long fights since Shadow Blade is a primary source of damage for you later in the game and it only lasts 1 minute per cast
  • Squishy
  • Low Con and Wis
