Shaco Build Guide (Jungle)

Shaco wins the game in the loading screen if the enemy tilts easily: level-two ganks out of Deceive, boxes that own every objective fight, and a Hallucinate clone that turns 1v1s into rigged coin flips.

Boxes first - stack them before the first camp spawns - then max Two-Shiv for gank damage; Deceive stays a one-point blink.

Mobility for the map-wide menace act; Mercury's Treads if they lock you down on arrival.
