Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize a controlled first clear to avoid early Shaco invade attempts and maintain jungle health.
Focus on using (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights and secure objectives once you hit level 6.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority, as Shaco's high mobility and stealth make early invades risky.

Jungle Plan

Path for a full clear and then look to gank lanes that have priority to capitalize on (Q) long-range engage.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can support you to deny Shaco's trap placements.
Avoid early direct invades unless you have clear vision and lane priority to prevent being outplayed by Shaco's deception.

Danger windows

Beware of Shaco's early level 2-3 gank attempts leveraging stealth and fear to catch you off guard.
Avoid isolated river fights where Shaco's boxes and invisibility give him a positional advantage.
Be cautious contesting objectives early without lane priority, as Shaco's trap control can force bad smite fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp clear toward lanes where you can follow up with (Q) ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to prevent Shaco from setting traps.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances to spot Shaco's early invisibility and box setups.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (Q) and (R) to lock down multiple enemies and turn objective fights in your favor.
Respect Shaco's level 2-3 early gank and invade power spike when he can surprise with (Q) stealth and (W) fear.
Exploit Shaco's weaker dueling before you reach tank stats by avoiding isolated fights and focusing on team skirmishes.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by securing your first clear and avoiding Shaco's early invade paths.
Use your (Q) engage and (R) area lockdown to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs.
Deny Shaco free farm and objective control by controlling river vision and punishing his trap setups with coordinated team pressure.
