How to play
Playing AP Shaco build, your default rush is Hextech Rocketbelt.
Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Tips and Tricks
General
Your auto attacks do more damage when hitting an enemy from behind. You can use it for farming minions and for damage versus champions. Position properly!
You can use your boxes Jack in the Box (W) for bush control.
You can use your boxes Jack in the Box (W) to block enemy skillshots or to trigger enemy mushrooms/traps/saplings.
The placement of your boxes depends on how the game is going on. Your team is losing? Better to start putting down your boxes behind you (because otherwise, you cannot protect them at all). Enemy team is full on engagement? You also want to put them behind your team. You are ahead and you can protect your boxes? Put them aggressively in front of you!
Riot
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.
