Shaco + Back To Basics

Kills reset all basic abilities for clean backline assassinations. Note: if you can one-shot with autos during Q, use other abilities first — otherwise Q won't reset.

Shaco's best augment. More mobility plus backstab damage that stacks with his innate backstab. Double Q nearly one-shots backliners. Death explosion deals massive true damage. Strong early for picks and late for frontline.

Use heavy armor pen and % damage amp to convert Final City Transit and Dive Bomber into pseudo-true damage. Hubris scales late AD, Profane Hydra + Collector enable execute on death for huge AoE self-destruct. Whole build converts physical scaling into massive true-damage burst.

Hubris stacks too slowly early; pair with Collector for pure lifesteal — works for sneaky players. Hide early until IE comes online; pre-level-6 use kills to ramp, otherwise late falls off.

Use W's CC and damage to torture enemies. Once W-CDR + Eureka spawn, it's good to go.

Maximize Quantum Computing damage with Q. Gives your team a huge early lead and solves the late-game tank problem.

Without E active, autos slow enemies. Q + backstab first strike also triggers the slow. Great damage boost. Pair with Shadow Runner, Tailwind, etc. for more combos.

Decent sustain — solid all-around augment. Has a bug though: if you take damage during R's brief vanish and die, the clone spawns at 0 HP. It can't be killed but still attacks. If enemies have infinite-stacking augments or Heartsteel, the clone becomes a free punching bag. If the clone picks up a healing relic, it gains HP and becomes killable again. Double-edged — use cautiously.

R clone becomes huge. Easy to tell apart from the real one.

Shaco has no attack speed steroids or good AS items. The AD boost is minimal and the slower attack animation feels terrible.

Poro Blaster is a trap on stealth champions like Shaco because poros stay visible and reveal your position.
