Additional Shaco Build Insights

League of Legends Shaco players will likely find him to be a challenging character to build out properly. You will see that his build varies when he is fighting either well-rounded or homogenous team compositions, meaning you shouldn't choose the same Shaco build every single game of League of Legends

The most important items to use in your champ's build are: Youmuu's Ghostblade, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Blade of The Ruined King. Those who added these pieces in their builds had a much higher win rate than those who utilized other Shaco builds. Similarly, if you are trying to beat a mixed enemy team arrangement, you should really consider grabbing yourself the Domination, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, he won the greatest percentage of his matches when using these runes.
