Shaco vs Elise Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Shaco is a assassin, Elise a assassin/mage hybrid, and they meet in the jungle. 484 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Shaco at a 56.6% win rate into Elise. Being 6.6 points clear of the 50% line makes Elise a favourable draw for Shaco.
mixed damage sits on both sides of this matchup, which simplifies what Shaco and Elise build against each other. Starting health splits 630 to 620 in Shaco’s favour, with armour at 30 against 30. At full build levels the gap widens to 2473 HP versus 2313, favouring Elise. Base attack damage is 63 against 55, so Shaco wins the raw auto-attack exchange. That 345-versus-330 difference matters most when either leaves the matchup.
The 550-versus-125 attack range gap means Elise can contest the wave from outside Shaco’s reach. Until Shaco closes that 125-to-550 gap, Elise dictates the pace.
The exchange usually opens with Two-Shiv Poison (E) or Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite (Q). Then it becomes Hallucinate against Spider Form, and the one still holding it sets the terms.
Sample size counts as much as the number — 484 games for Elise here.
