Fizz vs Shaco

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled full clears to reach level 3 before contesting river or Scuttle, minimizing Shaco's early invade threat.
Deny Shaco early camp access and vision around dragon entrances to limit his trap setups and unpredictable gank angles.

Jungle Plan

Counter-jungle aggressively when Shaco is spotted on the opposite side or after his early gank attempts to deny his scaling.
Use vision control and river presence to disrupt Shaco's trap placements before dragon or Void Grubs spawn.
Focus on timely ganks and objective pressure post-level 6 when your ultimate enables reliable burst and pick potential.

Danger windows

Respect Shaco's level 2-3 invade timing with his invisibility and fear; avoid isolated river fights without lane priority.
Beware forced smite fights near dragon or Herald when Shaco has box setups and clone for disruption.
Avoid low-health clears or extended jungle fights when Shaco can counter-gank using unpredictable paths and stealth.

Early game

Start with a full clear path to hit level 3 safely before challenging river control or Scuttle Crab.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks against Shaco's level 2-3 cheese attempts.
Secure Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and vision denies Shaco's box setups around objectives.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full engage and escape combo; punish Shaco's early pathing mistakes or overextensions immediately.
Level 6 ultimate grants strong pick potential; track Shaco's ultimate cooldown to commit confidently or reset fights.
First completed AP assassin item boosts burst damage, allowing more aggressive objective control and counter-jungling against Shaco.

Win conditions

Convert your level 6 ultimate power into pick opportunities to snowball lanes and secure early dragons.
Use superior clear speed and counter-jungle when Shaco shows on the map or after his gank attempts to deny his scaling.
Control vision around dragon and Herald entrances to limit Shaco's trap setups and force him into unfavorable fights.
