Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's efficient clear and worked ground to reach river first and control Scuttle vision against Shaco's early invade threat.
Prioritize river choke points to leverage (W) and (E) against Shaco's mobility and box setups.
Focus on mid-game map pressure with (R) to counter Shaco's deceptive early ganks and trap control.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps while maintaining worked ground to enable quick river control and early objective setups.
Fight for Scuttle Crab only when lane priority allows safe contest to deny Shaco vision and invade paths.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald, cutting off Shaco's escape and enabling picks or forced fights.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Shaco's box traps and clone can quickly turn skirmishes.

Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Shaco's early level 2-3 gank or invade cheese.
Avoid extended river fights early; instead path toward lanes with crowd control setup and prepare to counter-gank Shaco's unpredictable routes.
