Playing as Shaco
Tips to maximize your impact
- Gank from behind
Gank with Deceive (Q) and come in behind your target: Backstab (passive) empowers hits from behind, and your first invisible auto becomes a critical strike.
- Finish with Two-Shiv Poison
Save Two-Shiv Poison (E) to finish: the shiv deals much more damage to a target below 30% health.
- Trick them with your clone
Cast Hallucinate (R) to bait their spells: you briefly disappear and reappear with a clone, which explodes on death into three boxes that fear.
- Trap their escape routes
Place Jack In The Box (W) on their escape routes or at a camp entrance: invisible after a delay, it fears champions who come near, then shoots them.
Playing against Udyr
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his stun
Once Blazing Stampede (E) has stunned you, take your trade: he can't stun you again for a while.
- No CC while he's awakened
If you have CC, don't use it when he awakens Blazing Stampede (E): he's immune to immobilizing effects then. Wait for the effect to end.
- Stay away from his storm
Keep your distance from Wingborne Storm (R): it damages and slows nearby enemies every second, and once awakened, it follows the last enemy he hit.
