Tips & Tricks
- Position Zed in the 3rd hex front row on either side to maximize odds he targets corner carry on first ability cast
- Shaco wants QSS + Edge of Night. 3rd item is flexible. Can be BT, HoJ, IE, Giant Slayer, etc. Zed doesn’t need an Omnivamp item at all as he resets aggro frequently so Slayer healing is enough, but they are fine if that’s what you have
- Ranged Shaco is strong. Play QSS + IE. If you have Scoped Weapons, you can play various AD builds (see the variation for examples). Can drop out of Syndicate for Divinicorp units as you won’t want to Kingpin Shaco if he has increased range.
- This comp really wants artifacts. Generally only recommend playing if you have a strong artifact for Shaco (there are many — check the alt builds). Most artifacts want to be paired with BT + EoN, but can also pair with QSS / IE.

Economy Strategy
- Do not spend gold on leveling this stage. If you have 2-stars and a good item, you can consider playing to win some rounds. Otherwise lose streak is common for stage 2.
- Roll to 33 gold, buying any unit that will be part of the level 4 or 5 board. You can also buy units that will be part of the level 6+ board, but you can sell those if your bench fills and you need to buy other units. Rolling to 33 gold is advisable because it allows you to save back up to 50g by 3-5.
- Do not level if you haven’t hit your 3-star 1-costs yet. If you have your 3-stars, you generally should still stay level 5 if you can win or if leveling to 6 would put you below 20g. Try to get above 40g this round.
- Ideally above 50g, level 5 at this point or level 6 with 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, roll to ~52g each turn. You don’t want to roll to perfect 50g as any units you buy in shop will put you below 50g. If you have 8+ copies of an itemized 1-cost, you can roll to 40g or 30g every round instead. Level to 6 once you hit your 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, you must roll until you hit them. You should level to 6 after hitting. In some rare games, you will miss or spend so much gold you can never catch up. These games will usually result in bottom 4 placements.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above ~20g. Otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8 if you are in bottom half of lobby HP and are losing rounds. If you are higher HP and feel stable, you can wait until next turn.
- Level to 8 if you haven’t already. Roll for any remaining units necessary for the comp. If stable, you can try to go 9. Most games you will end on level 8.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
is alt build 5 to show which artifacts to pair with qss and ie
Yeah basically – range artifact + craftable ranged AD DPS items.
why phreaky friday? to reforge or slam on shaco/zed?
Gives you guaranteed three item Shaco by Stage 3, item augments are best with Shaco. It’s not a bad item on him either. You just tempo with it and it gives you ability to build Senna / Zed items earlier.
came 1st with scoped weapons absolutely busted
Can confirm 14.6 still busted with scoped weapons– beat out a capped lv10 2star 5 cost board
Is this forceable? I mean I’m in master and got top 1/2 for 6 games with this comp, or is it just luck :p
its just luck. trying this in a lobby full of strategist amp chuds and shaco never targets annie is a fast way to requeue the game
Kingpin Shaco then?
Yes
