How it works

Full Magic Pen Build specific
  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.
Shaco specific
  1. This build is a variation of normal AP Shaco build with focus on his Poson Shiv (E) ability. You max it, go magic penetration and deal tons of damage against squishes!
  2. If an enemy team has lots of bruisers/tanks, I recommend you not play this build and switch to a version with Liandry's. You could play it in theory, but it will not be as much fun.

How to play

Full Magic Pen Build specific
  1. Playing Full Magic Pen Shaco build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. 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).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

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.
