Shifter camo is much better than chameleon in the terrain where the shifter is able to camo. This is due to the fact that shifter camo is faster and doesn't use mana like chameleon(which is a power to call) does. Also, you won't lose your concentration with shifter camo if chameleon is not perfected. Shifter camo is also faster to use than chameleon, having less lag. So it is useful even if you would have your item, making chameleon less useful.
