When facing Shaco's top counters like Alistar, Senna, Rell, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize armor items against AD-heavy counter picks or magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Cryptbloom or Morellonomicon based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Shaco performance.

burst mageFirst Power Spike3,000gImperial Mandate at 12:24 (median)

This Shaco burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends. Its 54.4% win rate comes from only 57 games, so treat it as an observation rather than a proven edge. The build's key strengths include devastating ability power scaling with 350 total AP and substantial health pool for survivability. Choose this build when your team needs magic damage, especially if teammates are primarily AD-focused. Shaco with this build can punish teams that stack armor. Consider the enemy team composition when finalizing your situational items to maximize Shaco's effectiveness. However, be aware that this build lacks defensive stats making Shaco vulnerable to burst damage and limited ability haste may result in longer cooldowns. With a total gold cost of 14,950, this Shaco build scales into the late game. Focus on farming efficiently and reaching your Liandry's Torment, Imperial Mandate, and Blackfire Torch power spike before taking major fights. For optimal results with this Shaco build, focus on proper itemization timing, positioning in teamfights, and adapting your situational items based on the specific challenges each game presents.

Strengths

Devastating ability power scaling with 350 total AP

Weaknesses

Lacks defensive stats making Shaco vulnerable to burst damage

Where does MetaBot source build data for Shaco?

How does MetaBot determine what the best Shaco builds are?

MetaBot only counts Shaco games that reached a completed build (boots plus at least three finished items), groups them by their three core items, and ranks the groups by a confidence-adjusted win rate (Wilson lower bound) so a build with a handful of lucky games cannot outrank a well-played one. A build is only presented as the highest win rate once it has at least 50 games and a tenth of Shaco's build sample; otherwise the most-played build is shown.
