How it works

Full Crit Build specific
  1. You go Full Crit.
  2. You go in and play around Hail of Blades to burst enemies.
  3. You back away and wait for Hail of Blades. Repeat.
  4. This build works best if enemy team has squishy champions. If you are against a lot off-tanks/bruisers, this might not be best build. You can make it work, however, by rushing Lord Dominik's Regards.

How to play

Full Crit Build specific
  1. This build shines with 100% crit. You will instakill squishes. Until that, it might be challenging to 100-0 anyone. Look for opportunities to go in and score kills. Also focus on farming minions if possible (to scale faster).
  2. Wait for your moment to go for a kill. You have a big burst thanks to Full Crit and Hail of Blades, but you are squishy. And outside of Hail of Blades procs (especially early game) you don't have much damage.
  3. Snowball / Mark is an essential cooldown for this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  4. Enemy team might not check your items right away, you could use that for your advantage to nuke unsuspected enemy.
  5. After they checked your items and noticed that you have damage and are squishy, they are going to target you in fights. Be careful, after early game probably you need to modify your playstyle and stay back and wait for a good moment to join fights.
  6. If they have tons of CC, get Mercury's Treads, Edge of Night or even Mercurial Scimitar to counter that.
  7. If you are not doing well, or an enemy team is slightly ahead, you can adapt and buy tank items. Worst case scenario, you can sell everything late game and 'respec' into full tank.
Shaco specific
  1. The most crucial part of playing this build is to: attack from behind (position properly with Q!) and know where to go in (need to be smart about it).
  2. Ideally, you go in with Q and Hail of Blades up, kill enemy, get invisibility from Duskblade and run away/reposition/continue.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. 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!
  2. Beware of DoT effects on you! They make your shape visible when you are invisible, after using Deceive (Q)!
  3. Beware of enemy summoners and abilities that apply True Sight, because they reveal you when you are invisible! For example, getting hit by Mark (Snowball) makes you visible.
  4. You can use your boxes Jack in the Box (W) for bush control.
  5. You can use your boxes Jack in the Box (W) to block enemy skillshots or to trigger enemy mushrooms/traps/saplings.
  6. The placement of your boxes should depend 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
  1. Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.
  2. Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.
  3. Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.
