Why this duo works

Yone's multi-target engage gives Shaco time to place a box fear in the same area, and Shaco's slow helps Yone keep up with anyone who escapes the first hit. That chain crowd control explains the clear HIGH ELO synergy.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.5pp more often than expected over 1,031 games.

Playing the duo

Yone's Mortal Steel(Q) at two stacks and Fate Sealed(R) knock up or pull targets, while Shaco's Jack In The Box(W) fears nearby enemies and Two-Shiv Poison(E) slows them. Shaco players specifically recommend placing boxes as Yone ults to chain crowd control.

How to play as Shaco

Place Jack In The Box(W) in the area Yone is pulling into, then slow a target with Two-Shiv Poison(E) so Yone can stay on them after the fear.

How to play as Yone

Coordinate Fate Sealed(R) with Shaco so he can place Jack In The Box(W) where the pull lands; the airborne lets him set up the follow-up fear.
