Smite and Shaco's Clone

MegaManRocks·Jun 30, 2016·1 votes·856 views

I'm mostly just curious to know how this interaction works - Shaco's clone and Chilling Smite.

If shaco's clone is treated as a pet, we should expect 1k damage on cast.

If shaco's clone is a pet, we should expect no slow / movement speed stolen, as chilling smite works on champions, not pets / minions.

So how does this work in game? Would the fake shaco recieve 1k damage and not get slowed? Or would it mimic the effects of smiting a champion, doing less damage and slowing the clone.

This could be a great way to tell the difference between two shacos or a total bust.

Anyone able to weigh in on this?

The clone is like a champion, you can heal it etc.

I understand. I'm curious more about smites interaction than anything else.

It acts like both a champion and a minion, but appears to prioritize champion interactions first, then minion ones. Summoner spells work on it, but stuff like Volibear's E still fears it.

Would it be optimal then, in that case, to forgo chilling smite if the regular smite would do more damage?

Regular Smite shouldn't work on it, unless I'm horribly mistaken. It's like Smite is built specifically to NOT affect champions, whereas Volibear's E does something like "if minion, then fear".

Feel free to test it anyway.

Take a friend, go into custom, get to level 6. I do not know for sure what happens currently either, but i know teleport and smite work on Zac's passive.... so i guess we will see what happens lol
