Why this duo works

Shaco's early ganks can help Dr. Mundo reach his durable two-item spike sooner, and Mundo's Infected Bonesaw(Q) slow gives Shaco a better window to reach a target's back. A Mundo player described their Shaco duo as hyper-aggressive early and said he reached his two-item spike sooner; that fits the pair's +3.2pp LOW ELO result.

Playing the duo

Infected Bonesaw(Q) slows its first target, giving Shaco time to approach from behind for Backstab(P); Shaco's Jack in the Box(W) can then fear the target if it enters its trigger area.

How to play as Dr. Mundo

Save Infected Bonesaw(Q) for the start of Shaco's gank when possible; its slow gives him room to get behind the target and start his burst.

How to play as Shaco

Look for top ganks after Mundo lands Infected Bonesaw(Q); use the slow to approach behind the target, then place Jack in the Box(W) across their retreat path.
