Invisibility Duration: 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 / 3.25 / 3.5 seconds

Deceive's invisibility breaks when Shaco uses a basic attack or casts Two-Shiv Poison, but not from casting Jack in the Box or Hallucinate.

Jack in the Box

Cost: 70 / 65 / 60 / 55 / 50 ManaCooldown: 15Cast time: 0.25Target range: 500Detection radius: 300

Active: Shaco summons a box at the target location that becomes stealthed after arming over 2 seconds, lasting for up to 40 (+ 10% AP) seconds. The box is invulnerable and untargetable to enemies while stealthed.

The box will spring out upon enemy contact, fearing nearby enemies for a duration, modified to 2.2 seconds against non-champions, and rooting them for a duration, modified to a 1 second root against non-champions. After a 0.15-second delay of the box's activation, enemies hit also have their movement speed reduced. Enemy champions have their movement speed set to a static 100, while non-champions are set to a static 60. The movement speed reduction lasts for the same duration as the fear plus 0.3 seconds.

Fear Duration: 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds
Root Duration: 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1 / 1 seconds
Slow Duration: 0.8 / 1.05 / 1.3 / 1.55 / 1.8 seconds

Once sprung, the box will remain for 5 seconds, during which it will automatically fire at nearby visible enemies every 0.5 seconds, dealing magic damage with each attack. If the box attacks only one target, it deals increased damage. Boxes deal bonus magic damage to monsters and 50% reduced damage to structures.

Magic Damage: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 12% AP)

Notes (5)

The root and fear are applied at the same time. The target cannot be forced to move by the fear during the root.
The target is however allowed to move despite being rooted for the first 0.1 seconds of the root. They can be forced to move by the fear during this time.
The static movement speed modifier overrides the target's base movement speed value to the modified amount, and their bonus movement speed value to 0.
The modifier is not applied if the target is slow-immune.
The box is untargetable and invulnerable so long as it is in stealth. Effects that reveal stealthed traps will render the box targetable and vulnerable while it can be seen.

Hallucinate

Cost: 100 ManaCooldown: 100 / 90 / 80Cast time: 0.25Effect radius: 250

Active: Shaco vanishes for 0.5 seconds and blinks in the target direction while creating a clone of himself that is summoned in the opposite direction, remaining within control range of him as a controllable clone for up to 18 seconds. Hallucinate can be recast at any time while the clone is alive, and can be used while affected by cast-inhibiting crowd control.

Recast: Shaco commands the clone to move to the target location.

The clone will explode upon dying or expiring to deal magic damage to nearby enemies and deploy three mini-boxes that activate instantly, fearing nearby enemies for 1 second, increased to 2.2 seconds against non-champions, and rooting them for 0.5 seconds, increased to 0.6 seconds against monsters and 1 second against minions. After a 0.15-second delay of the boxes' activation, enemies hit also have their movement speed reduced. Enemy champions have their movement speed set to a static 100, while non-champions are set to a static 60. The movement speed reduction lasts for the same duration as the fear plus 0.3 seconds.

Magic Damage: 150 / 225 / 300 (+ 70% AP)

The boxes possess Jack in the Box's effects, except they have a doubled, but shared health, and deal modified magic damage with each attack, increased when attacking a single unit. They are also invulnerable for 0.5 seconds after deployment.

Modified Magic Damage: 10 / 20 / 30 (+ 10% AP)
Increased Modified Damage: 25 / 50 / 75 (+ 15% AP)
