Shaco (Crime City Nightmare Shaco)
RP: 1350 | Release Date: October 29, 2021
Crime City Nightmare Shaco is a skin that brings a dark and twisted twist to the mischievous jester. With its eerie and haunting design, this skin transforms Shaco into a nightmarish figure that strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies. Released on October 29, 2021, this skin is part of the Crime City Nightmare skin line, which features other champions in a similar theme.
The costume itself is a departure from Shaco's usual colorful and playful appearance. Crime City Nightmare Shaco is clad in a tattered and worn-out jester outfit, with dark and muted colors dominating the palette. The skin features a menacing grin on Shaco's face, with glowing red eyes that pierce through the darkness. His iconic blades are replaced with jagged and twisted knives, adding to the overall sinister vibe of the skin.
One of the standout features of Crime City Nightmare Shaco is the visual effects that accompany his abilities. When Shaco uses his Deceive (Q) ability, he leaves behind a trail of eerie purple smoke, enhancing the illusion of his disappearance. His Jack in the Box (W) ability now summons twisted and distorted versions of the usual boxes, instilling even more fear in his opponents. The visual effects of his Two-Shiv Poison (E) ability are also altered, with a dark and toxic aura surrounding the target.
Crime City Nightmare Shaco also has unique recall animation, where he disappears into a cloud of purple smoke, only to reappear with a wicked laugh. This animation perfectly captures the essence of the skin, showcasing Shaco's malevolent nature.
Now, let's delve into the story of Shaco and his place in the League of Legends universe. Shaco is a champion known for his trickery and deception. He is a demonic jester who thrives on chaos and confusion. In the game, Shaco is classified as an assassin, excelling at ambushing and eliminating unsuspecting enemies.
Shaco's past is shrouded in mystery, with little known about his origins. Some believe that he is a manifestation of pure evil, while others speculate that he is a puppet controlled by a malevolent force. Regardless of his true nature, Shaco is a force to be reckoned with on the Summoner's Rift.
Shaco's strengths lie in his ability to surprise and outmaneuver his opponents. His Deceive ability allows him to become invisible for a short duration, making him an excellent ganker and escape artist. Combined with his high burst damage, Shaco can quickly dispatch squishy targets before they even have a chance to react.
However, Shaco also has his weaknesses. He is relatively squishy and lacks sustained damage compared to other assassins. Additionally, his reliance on deception and mind games means that he can struggle against opponents who can see through his tricks. Proper vision control and map awareness are crucial for Shaco players to maximize their effectiveness.
In the League of Legends lore, Shaco is often depicted as a chaotic and unpredictable character. He is known for his sadistic sense of humor and his penchant for causing mayhem. Shaco's presence in the game adds an element of unpredictability, as players never know when he might strike from the shadows.

Lore:
Crafted long ago as a plaything for a lonely prince, the enchanted marionette Shaco now delights in murder and mayhem. Corrupted by dark magic and the loss of his beloved charge, the once-kind puppet finds pleasure only in the misery of the poor souls he torments. He uses toys and simple tricks to deadly effect, finding the results of his bloody “games” hilarious—and for those who hear a dark chuckle in the dead of night, the Demon Jester may have marked them as his next plaything.
Ally tips:
Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape. Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone. Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.
Enemy tips:
If Shaco is doing well early-game, it is worth the investment to place Stealth Wards near his Jungle camps.If Shaco uses Deceive to enter a fight he won't be able to quickly use it again to get away. Work with your team to quickly focus him down.
