general information

For a better understanding, we decided to compose all the data and present them in a table. She will demonstrate the characteristics of the hero:

Like any other League of Legends champion, Shako, the guide on which we are analyzing, has strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of the hero include the following qualities:

• Strong ganks at the beginning of the game.
• Incredibly powerful duelist abilities. Shoku is able to destroy many junglers alone.
• Any of the skills can be used for both attack and defense.
• The ability to control objects on the map, thanks to the ability to Deceive.
• Powerful counter-jungler and effective split-pusher.
• Jack In The Box ability gives you the ability to scare away monsters and not lose health in the forest.

Character flaws:

• A complex set of talents. To use the hero correctly, you must be a fairly experienced player.
• Shako is quite vulnerable at the beginning and middle of the game.
• Does not possess skills with tight control.
• When playing with this hero, you always need to monitor his whereabouts, because a powerful attack can be made only from the back of the enemy.

Description of skills

Let's start with a description of the passive skill of the hero Shako, the guide (season 6) on which is in front of you. Backstab is a talent that allows the champion to deal 20% more damage to the enemy if the attack is carried out from behind the enemy. Excellent skill, given that Shako most often attacks from behind. Passivation will be especially useful if the enemy starts to run away.

Deceive

The next talent that this guide to Shako will talk about is the ability to jump to the right point and go into the inviz when landing. When invisible, the hero deals bonus damage in the amount of 40-60-80-100-120%. The amount of critical damage is cumulative from runes, items and masters. So it is extremely important to choose an effective build in order to maximize this talent. But our LOL-guide will tell about this a little later. Skill Cost: 90-80-70-60-50 mana. Range of action - 400. Rollback - 11 seconds.

Jack in the box

A completely original skill that enables Shako to put his clone, Jack, at the indicated point. In this case, the assistant will become invisible after 2 seconds and will exist for 60 seconds. As soon as Jack goes into inviz, he will cause fear in any creature that falls within the radius of the skill. In this case, the enemy will begin to rush in different directions, and as soon as the effect of fear passes, Jack will begin to inflict damage to the enemy for 5 seconds in the amount of 35-60-80-100-120 units. After that, if the enemy does not destroy him earlier, the clone will disappear. Jack's range is 425. Skill rollback - 16 seconds. Mana cost: 50-55-60-65-70.

Two Poison Sharpeners (Two-Shiv Poison)

Now the guide about Shako will analyze a passive skill that can not only damage the enemy, but also seriously slow down its speed of movement. When using Two-Shiv Poison, Shako throws a knife at the enemy, causing 50% damage from the total damage, while the miss chance of monsters and opponents increases from 20 to 30%, and the victim's speed decreases by 3 seconds. Cost of skill: 50-55-60-65-70 mana. Damage radius: 600. Skill rollback starts after 8 seconds.

Hallucinate

Shako is a LoL champion with an incredibly strong ult, in which the hero disappears and after a moment appears with his clone. In this case, the copy deals 75% and absorbs 135% of the total damage. Upon destruction, the copy explodes and inflicts magic damage to enemies (300-400-600 + 1 * AP) that fall into the radius of destruction. The cost of the skill is 100 mana. The range is 500. Cooldown: 105-90-75 seconds.

Enemy Champions

Shako is a rather fragile character, especially in the early stages of the game, an enemy forester can be a danger to him, of course, if he is played by an experienced opponent, versed in the tactics and skills of our hero. Especially dangerous:

• Udir. This hero leads the top opponents of Shako for a reason. With excellent farm speed and good damage at the initial stage of the game, this champion can greatly complicate his life.
• Skarner is a hero with a good initial farm speed and great potential for killing Shako. You should not meet him in the forest, it is better to focus your efforts on the farm and attack on the line.
• Elise Thanks to his skills, this champion can literally kill a hero in two counts. But with the right tactics using skills and traps, Shako will be able to destroy Eliza.
• Lee Sin is an excellent opponent, meeting with whom will not bring Shako pleasure. Never engage in battle with this opponent if your health level is lower than his. It is better to ambush Lee Sin in the forest when he uses one of his skills.

Game tactics

It is worth noting that Shako can be pumped with an emphasis on any type of damage, both physical and magical. At an early stage of the game, this champion has a huge advantage, which you should definitely take advantage of. No need to farm the forest for about 20 minutes, and only after that they will join their team. After all, the chances of winning decrease over time. This does not mean that Shako becomes useless in the late stages of the game, but his abilities work wonders at the very beginning.

The hero can get almost any buff without using spells from the first level. To do this, he will only need jester boxes created by the Jack in The Box skill. Usually buff gathers from golems, and therefore it is worth practicing in killing them. Before the enemy appears, place 4 boxes and start the attack. Jack, a clone, will destroy the golem within seconds. Also, do not forget to ulty, because the created copy perfectly damages the enemy, and also causes damage when he dies. At the same time, use Deceive to constantly be behind the enemy. It’s quite difficult for beginners to play for Shako, but for experienced players, he becomes one of the favorite champions of the League of Legends game.

Shako, the guide on which we are considering, should collect the buff from the golem as soon as possible. You need to do this quickly, even if you are not going to swing in the forest. The champion will quickly reach the second level. Already, he is able to come to one of the lines and help an ally kill the enemy. Even if the enemy cannot be destroyed, his existence is significantly worsened. Prevent the enemy from farming normally - this will greatly facilitate the life of the team. To the third level with a red buff, Shako will be able to easily kill his first champion. Only it’s better not to attack an opponent with the Flash skill, or something like that.

Review on the tactics of the game. Continuation

To achieve maximum results you need to constantly farm and increase maximum damage. In the mid, you need to move from one line to another, and at the same time gank opponents. Take advantage of the invisibility and mobility to be behind the enemy. This should always be remembered, because Shako is not a tank, and you should not go this champion "breast on embrasures." Your style should be cunning and the ability to attack from an ambush. The surprise with which you hit the opponent at the most inopportune moment for him will be the trump card in your game.

Summarizing all of the above, we can say that Shako is a rather difficult champion, which is very difficult to manage. In addition, they can only play in a close-knit and experienced team. But if you like original damageers with such a unique set of skills, you will definitely not regret it if you get this champion. We hope our review on the hero of Shaco (Shaco Guide) was useful to you, and you gathered a lot of useful information from it.
