"League of Legends", guide on Shako

One of the best killers that can be found in the vastness of Valaron, is the myster and joker Shako. This hero can become invisible at any time, and also distract the enemy with his clone. Of course, this damager creates the best ambushes, and his mobility and elusiveness make this character almost inaccessible to the enemy. About his abilities and skills, as well as pumping skills and builds will tell this guide to Shako.

general information

For a better understanding, we decided to compose all the data and present them as a table. It clearly demonstrates the characteristics of the hero:

Positive and negative qualities of the hero

Like any other champion of the League of Legends, Shako, a guide on which we understand, has strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of the hero include such qualities:

• Strong ganks at the beginning of the game.
• Incredibly powerful abilities of the duelist. Shock is able to destroy many of the junglers alone.
• Any of the skills can be used for both attack and defense.
• Ability to control objects on the map, thanks to the ability of Deceive.
• Powerful counter-jangler and efficient split-pusher.
• The ability of Jack In The Box makes it possible to scare off monsters and not to lose health in the forest.
• With the ability to Hallucinate, Shock can evade most attacks.

Disadvantages of the character:

• A complex set of talents. To properly use the hero you need to be a fairly experienced player.
• Shako is vulnerable enough at the beginning and the middle of the game.
• Does not have skills with strict control.
• When playing this hero, you always need to keep track of his location, because a powerful attack can only be made from the back of the opponent.

Description of skills

We begin with a description of the passive skill of the hero Shako, guide (6 season), which is in front of you. Backstab is a talent that allows the champion to deal 20% more damage to the enemy if the attack is from the back of the enemy. Excellent skill, given that Shako most often attacks from behind. Particularly useful passivation will be if the enemy starts to flee.

Deceive

The following talent, which this guide on Shako will tell, is the ability to jump to the desired point and go into the inviz on landing. When invisible, the hero deals bonus damage in the amount of 40-60-80-100-120%. The amount of critical damage is summed up from runes, items and masters. So it is extremely important to choose an effective build to maximize this talent. But our LOL-guide will tell about this a little later. Cost of the skill: 90-80-70-60-50 mana. Range - 400. Rollback - 11 seconds.

Jack out of the box (Jack In The Box)

Absolutely original skill, which gives Shako the opportunity to put in the specified point of his clone - Jack. Thus the assistant becomes invisible after 2 seconds and there will be 60 seconds. As soon as Jack goes into the invision, he will cause fear in any creature that falls within the range of the skill. In this case, the enemy will start to rush in different directions, and as soon as the fear effect passes, Jack will start inflicting damage to the enemy within 5 seconds in the amount of 35-60-80-100-120 units. After that, if the enemy does not destroy it before, the clone will disappear. The range of Jack is 425. The skill rollback is 16 seconds. The cost of mana: 50-55-60-65-70.

Two poisoned sharpening (Two-Shiv Poison)

Now the guide about Shako will be analyzed by the passive ability, capable not only to inflict damage to the opponent, but also seriously to slow down its speed of moving. When using Two-Shiv Poison, Shako throws a knife at the enemy, dealing 50% damage from the total damage, while the chance of a miss of monsters and enemies increases from 20 to 30%, and the victim's speed decreases by 3 seconds. Cost of the skill: 50-55-60-65-70 mana. Radius of defeat: 600. Cooldown of skill begins after 8 seconds.

Hallucination

Shako is a LOL champion with an incredibly strong ulta, in which the hero disappears and after a moment appears with his clone. In this case, the copy deals 75% and absorbs 135% of the total damage. Upon destruction, the copy explodes and inflicts magical damage on enemies (300-400-600 + 1 * AP) that hit the radius of damage. The cost of the skill is 100 mana. The range is 500. Cooldown: 105-90-75 seconds.

The enemy champions

Shako is a fairly fragile character, especially in the early stages of the game, an enemy forester can certainly be dangerous for him, of course, if he is played by an experienced opponent who understands the tactics and skills of our hero. Especially dangerous are:

• Udyr. This hero is headed by top opponents of Shako not in vain. Possessing an excellent rate of pharmacy and good damage at the initial stage of the game, this champion can make life much more difficult.
• Skarner (Skarner) is a hero with a good initial farming speed and great potential for killing Shako. It is not necessary to meet with him in the forest, it is better to focus your efforts on farm and attack the line.
• Elise (Elise). Thanks to his skills, this champion can kill the hero literally in two counts. But with the right tactics with the use of skills and traps, Shako will be able to destroy Eliza.
• Lee Sin (Lee Sin) - an excellent opponent, a meeting with which will not bring Shako pleasure. Never engage with this enemy if your level of health is lower than his. It is better to arrange for Li Sina ambush in the forest, when he will use one of his skills.

Tactics of the game

It is worth noting that Shako can be pumped with an emphasis on any kind of damage, both physical and magical. At an early stage of the game, this champion has a huge advantage, which must be used. You do not need to farm the forest for about 20 minutes, and only after that will join your team. After all, the chances of a victory diminish over time. This does not mean that Shako becomes useless at a late stage of the game, but his abilities work wonders at the very beginning.

The hero can get almost any buff, without using spells from the first level. To do this, he will need only boxes with clowns, created by the skill Jack in the Box. Usually, the buff is collected from golems, and therefore it is worth training in their killing. Before the enemy appears, place 4 boxes and begin the attack. Jack, he's a clone, will destroy the golem in a few seconds. Also do not forget to blow it, because the created copy perfectly damages the enemy, and also deals damage when you die. In doing so, use Deceive to constantly be behind the enemy's back. Beginners play for Shako is quite difficult, but for experienced players, he becomes one of the favorite champions of the game "League of Legends."

Shako, a guide on which we are considering, should collect the buff from the golem as soon as possible. You need to do this quickly, even if you are not going to swing in the forest. The champion will quickly reach the second level. Already now he is able to come to one of the lines and help the ally to kill the enemy. Even if the enemy does not manage to destroy, then his existence is significantly deteriorating. Prevent the enemy from normal farming - this will greatly facilitate the life of the team. To the third level with a red buff, Shako can easily kill his first champion. Only it is better not to attack an enemy with a Flash skill, or something similar.

Review of the tactics of the game. Continuation

To achieve the maximum result you need to constantly farm and increase the maximum damage. On the middle, you need to move from one line to another, and gank opponents. Use the advantages of invisibility and mobility to be behind the enemy's back. This is always worth remembering, because Shako is not a tank, and it is not worthwhile to go this champion "chest on the embrasure". Your style should be cunning and the ability to attack from an ambush. The surprise with which you hit the enemy at the most inappropriate time for him, will be the main trump card in your game.

Summarizing all of the above, we can say that Shako is a rather complicated champion, which is very difficult to manage. In addition, they can play only in a cohesive and experienced team. But if you like original daggers with such a unique set of skills, then you definitely will not regret if you get this champion. We hope that our review of Shako's hero was useful to you, and you learned a lot of useful information from him.
