Support Shaco Build

1. You're a healer, Harry.
2. Even though Shaco is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
• Heal summoner spell.
• Guardian and Font of Life runes.
• Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.
• Diadem of Songs for some sweet and constant healing.

1. Play safe, stay in the back and play like support, so you can stay and heal more. 🛡️
2. Sometimes, you can go in and play more aggressively when the opportunity is right. ⚔️
3. Focus on healing and shielding to keep allies alive. 💖
4. Use Redemption, Locket, and Heal on cooldown for healing. ✨

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
2. Your job is to stay alive and provide constant healing, shielding, and buffs to your team through items and summoner spells.
3. Play safe and stay in the back. The longer you survive, the more you can heal your teammates.

Items

1. Your first rush is Redemption.
2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE burst) or Moonstone Renewer (for sustained healing).
3. Rush Locket #2 if your team is already doing teamfights or when enemy team has champions with super AoE damage. Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2.
4. If you manage to stack if quite fast, you can rush Diadem of Songs as well.
5. Echoes of Helia is a strong option - you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (from your slow/CC abilities). However it encourages you to play aggressive to stack it and with this build, you really want to stay behind and play passive. Be careful.
6. Knight's Vow is surprisingly strong if you have a carry/strong bruiser/strong tank. Stick with them and support them specifically.

Summoner Spell

1. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown, especially when 2+ allies are nearby. With Moonstone Renewer, you want to heal multiple people for maximum value.

Late game

1. Later in the game (6 items), you can sell boots for a sixth support item to maximize your healing output.

Buffing your team

1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
2. Bandlepipes is a good new item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.
4. Cryptbloom is interesting if you want to go full healing. Get it as #4+ item.

Runes

1. Guardian is your most important rune. It provides massive shielding, but remember: you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
• You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
2. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight. It is crucial because it reduces cooldowns for your active items and Heal summoner spell:
• Redemption and Locket of the Iron Solari - 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
• Shurelya's Battlesong - 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
• Heal summoner spell gets reduced cooldown too!
3. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
4. Important Font of Life total healing is NOT properly calculated in post-game stats. The actual value in-game is much higher than displayed! You heal more than you think!

Redemption

1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown when your allies are missing health. It's best used when they are grouped together.
2. If you already have Moonstone Renewer, wait (or ping) until allies group before using Redemption, so you can heal everyone at once.
3. You CAN use Redemption for damage, but generally it's not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
4. Be careful when using Redemption while dead and about to respawn. The camera will snap to your position, and you might accidentally cast it in the spawn pool. Watch out for bad timing!

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 any DoT effects on you! They make your shape visible when you are invisible, after using Deceive (Q). Pay attention or you are gonna have bad times.
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 improve your Shaco game immediately just by changing direction before using Deceive (Q). Pretend that you are going one direction, just to Q into another. Works all directions!
5. You can use your boxes Jack In The Box (W) for bush control.
6. You can use your boxes Jack In The Box (W) to block enemy skillshots or to trigger enemy mushrooms/traps/saplings.
7. 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!

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.
