Guide to Synergizing Shaco and Jinx

Tips for Playing as Shaco with Jinx

Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.

Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.

Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.

Advice to Understand How Jinx Will Play

Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.

Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.

When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

How to Play with Jinx as Shaco in LoL

Overall, Shaco sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Jinx helps Shaco perform worse in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Shaco plays on the same team as Jinx, he sees a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This change could signal that Jinx does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shaco is played with Jinx on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Jinx. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jinx.

Additionally, when Shaco plays with Jinx on the same team, he on average receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Jinx does a decent job of covering Shaco in teamfights.

This shows that there is only a small bond between Shaco and Jinx that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Jinx has a much lower diffuclty than Shaco. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Jinx comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

Working on the same side, Shaco players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by aligning Shaco and Jinx together, you probably will not be giving your side very much cover. Plan to pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Jinx teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
