Ekko into Shacomedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears or five-camp routes into lanes with strong setup for stuns rather than forcing early river fights.
Use Ekko's high mobility and to maintain invade resistance and avoid risky early counter-invades against Shaco's deceptive paths.
Focus on scaling safely while punishing Shaco's overextensions and trap setups to snowball lanes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that allows you to reach level 3 quickly and gank with stuns from fog or lane setups.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid Shaco's early invade and box traps.
Use tempo resets to arrive first at objectives and threaten backline picks, leveraging Ekko's scaling and burst to deny Shaco's map control.

Danger windows

Respect Shaco's level 2-3 early gank and invade cheese; avoid isolated river fights before you have lane priority.
Be cautious during forced smite fights around dragon or Void Grubs entrances where Shaco's boxes can disrupt your approach.
Avoid low-health clears and counter-jungle attempts when Shaco has box setups and invisibility ready to punish overextensions.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a five-camp clear into a lane with setup to maximize level 3 power spike.
Avoid early river fights and first Scuttle contests unless nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk from Shaco's invade pressure.
Use fogged to control dragon or Void Grubs entrances before objective attempts, denying Shaco's box setups.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks -- combo; use it to punish Shaco's early aggressive paths when cooldowns and spacing allow.
Level 6 gives a strong reset and escape tool; track Shaco's clone to time all-ins or disengages.
First completed AP burst item significantly improves damage; increase pressure on Shaco post-item to force unfavorable fights.

Win conditions

Convert efficient clears and level 3 power spike into early ganks with setup to snowball lanes.
Use superior scaling and resets to outplay Shaco in skirmishes and secure objectives after level 6.
Deny Shaco's trap control by preemptively clearing jungle entrances with fogged and controlling vision for safe counter-jungling.
