The Tournament of Souls is the brand new in-client meta game that Riot Games has released in League of Legends Patch 13.14 exclusively as part of the 2023 Summer Event of Soul Fighter. Players should remember that the Arena mode and this in-client metagame are interconnected and you will have to play both to access some features of Tournament of Souls. The goal of Tournament of Souls is to build reputation points and take down enemies one after the other while playing as Samira. Shaco is one of the enemies that Samira has to take down in this fighter game.
Here’s all you need to know about defeating Shaco.
Shaco in Tournament of Souls: How to Beat
Notably, to take on Shaco in this metagame, you will need 32 Reputation Points. When you win against an opponent in the 1v1 battle, you will increase a score called ‘Reputation.’ Once you defeat a foe, you will only be able to progress to the next one by earning enough Reputation.
The abilities you need to have set to take on Shaco are as follows:
Q: Quickshot - Fire a fast shot for 160 damage. When used to change weapons, fires twice.
W: Back Atcha - Spin twice for 60 damage, blocking all damage and status effects while reflecting a max of 500 damage back to an opponent for 1s. If Samira blocks 300 damage or greater, gain one additional style point.
E: Twilight Rush - Dash forward for 100 damage, breaking shields, and place a sticky bomb that explodes for 130, damaging all enemies after 2s. Following with a gun ability detonates early, causing the grenade to critically strike.
R: Immortal Inferno - Unleash a torrent of shots for 550 damage, healing a total of 500.
To win this round, you need to practice a bit of restraint. You will have to hold back on using abilities except for two instances and you will know them since Shaco will go invisible.
One variation of this attack is when he bursts into flame and spawns another clone and the other one will be where he goes completely invisible for a few seconds.
Now that you know he will spawn a clone when he bursts into flame, use your Twilight Rush and Quickshot in that order. By doing so you will kill the clone and hit Shaco.
When he goes completely invisible, you need to time your W: Back Atcha to block and reflect the damage. You can then use your ultimate whenever it comes back up.
