Shaco Hallucinate Functions

Shaco's Clone DOES: +Apply autoattack abilities +Apply auras (, , ) +Applies backstab damage +Applies your innate slow when your active is off cooldown +Applies spellvamp on death explosion +Crits +Block skillshots +Affected BY summoners (which means it can and will steal your ally's heal, but may also be slapped with ignite)

Shaco's clone does NOT: -Apply Lifesteal (making REALLY obvious as to which is the clone seriously don't buy this item; applied lifesteal from clone doesn't heal you either) -Apply spellvamp on ANY damage it does, just the death explosion

Just some things I decided to fool around with in a custom, thought I'd share the results.

Edit: Added a few things

item 3074 is pretty core for assassin jungle shaco actually, even if it gives his clone away. Most of the time the clone is pretty obvious anyway due to neutral monster buffs or the fact that the clone takes more damage. Why is it core? it increases his burst (critically important for an assassin) and it also helps him clear camps at a much faster rate.

I love item 3190 on shaco, the aura as well as the active can work wonders with his clone. If your clone is getting focused down, the active shield can keep it alive for longer.

I find item 3153 to be more useful (the extra damage from the active on hydra isn't great, AND it procs on the clone), but I also favor item 3068 for survivability and the fact the clone gives the double aura damage from the burn aoe, which is nice, and means that getting the burst immediately isn't as critical.

Building those two items means, of course, that your AD is lower, and so hydra is less damaging... as for waveclearing rushing item 3087 is infinitely more powerful due to being able to perfectly control when and how the electricity critically strikes; early game guaranteed 200~ magic damage burst for basically free is really good.

I'll openly admit I'm not a great shaco player, however, so you may be right.

thats like saying to never buy nashors on azir because he can't apply its on hit passive. it gives shaco waveclear and burst. and if the game requires you to split push this item is a must.
