How to play Shaco in ARAM Mayhem

Shaco is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #113 of 173 champions, with a 48.3% win rate over 2,297,225 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 10% of games, so expect to see it on both sides. Riot rates it 9/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.

Shaco's damage is mixed (39% physical, 53% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against.

Most Shaco players go Crit (40% of games), but the AP path, ability power items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Blackfire Torch, Liandry's Torment and Rabadon's Deathcap, with a 53.6% win rate. On this build 51% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Shaco are Eureka, Infinite Recursion and Cruelty. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability power. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Triggered Inferno and Titan's Resolve when you can: they do worst on Shaco. A pair to look for: Cruelty with Infinite Recursion.

Take Ignite and Mark (1% of players). Max Q (Deceive) first, then E, then W. Players who max W first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
