Jack in the Box and Two-Shiv Poison carry real AP ratios, and Hallucinate's clone detonates for a full AP bomb, so the burst arrives from three directions at once.

Against teams that do not ward. Box damage is free damage — it costs nothing and is already in place before the fight starts.
In a straight fight. Boxes need setup time, and an AP Shaco caught without them has one Deceive and no auto-attack damage at all.
1,125 damage is excluded from the rank because the target can walk away from it before it lands. Hallucinate's damage is the clone's death explosion, which requires the clone to die next to the target. Shown but not counted in the rank. Not modelled in this number: Frenzy (10% AS for 2s after a crit — not static), Summoner's Insight, Meditation, Mastermind.

When should I play AP Shaco?

Against teams that do not ward. Box damage is free damage — it costs nothing and is already in place before the fight starts. Jack in the Box and Two-Shiv Poison carry real AP ratios, and Hallucinate's clone detonates for a full AP bomb, so the burst arrives from three directions at once.

A damage rank, not a power rank: it is where this build's combo plus auto-attack damage lands among the standard builds of every champion in the role, measured at level 18 against 1900 HP / 75 armour / 50 MR. It does not know about range, crowd control, mobility or cooldowns.
