Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears early to maintain tempo and reach level 6 before engaging in fights.
Contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Shaco's high-risk early ganks and invade resistance.
Use post-6 ultimate ambushes from fog to secure kills and objective control, focusing on dragon and Rift Herald entrances.

Danger windows

Respect Shaco's level 2-3 early gank and invade window where his invisibility and box traps create high kill threat.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Shaco's mobility and deception overpower your dueling.
Be cautious contesting objectives if lanes lack priority, as Shaco's trap control and clone can disrupt setups and force bad smite fights.

Win conditions

Convert your superior clear speed and level 6 ultimate into objective control by setting ambushes in fog around dragon and Rift Herald.
Deny Shaco vision with sweeper resets and control wards to limit his trap setups and gank angles.
Use your post-6 gank threat to pressure lanes, force Shaco to play defensively, and secure cross-map objectives through coordinated plays.
