Diana vs Shaco

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Diana's mid-game teamfight impact and objective control are key; avoid early risky fights before level 6.
Prioritize efficient full clears and safe pathing to maintain tempo and avoid Shaco's early invade and gank pressure.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps quickly to hit level 6 and item spikes before forcing fights.
Contest river control and Scuttle only when allied lanes have priority to avoid Shaco's box setups.
Use level 6 (R) to force objective fights and cross-map plays after securing tempo and vision.

Danger windows

Respect Shaco's level 2-3 early invade and gank cheese timing; avoid isolated fights before level 6.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Shaco has set boxes around entrances; his traps increase risk.
Avoid low-health clears and forced smite fights where Shaco's deception and mobility can punish mistakes.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward a safe reset unless a lane offers reliable setup for early pressure.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to support.
Track Shaco's early pathing to anticipate his deceptive invades and counter-gank opportunities.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks (Q)+(W)+(E) burst combo with dash reset and shield; use this to punish Shaco's early overextensions.
Level 6 (R) grants strong all-in and teamfight presence; look for multi-target engages or picks.
First completed AP skirmish item boosts Diana's damage and trade reliability; increase pressure on camps and objectives then.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and level 6 power spike into objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (R) to initiate multi-target fights and force Shaco into unfavorable skirmishes.
Track Shaco's pathing to counter-jungle safely and deny his early pressure, leveraging Diana's scaling burst and objective damage.
