Nidalee into Shacomedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clear speed to invade and punish Shaco's weaker early clears.
Prioritize tempo and poke to deny Shaco's camp access before he can set up deceptive ganks.
Snowball through early invades and objective control to prevent Shaco's cheese ganks and scaling.

Jungle Plan

Track Shaco's first clear and path aggressively to counter-invade predictable routes.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances before Scuttle and objectives, denying Shaco vision and safe access.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control after successful invades to snowball lanes and force Shaco into reactive play.

Danger windows

Beware Shaco's early invade attempts around level 2-3 using invisibility and fear.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority or vision due to Shaco's box traps and clone causing confusion.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald can be risky if Shaco controls the area with boxes and positioning.

Early game

Start with a fast, technical clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early invades on Shaco's camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and you can land spears to secure health advantage.
Avoid prolonged river fights without vision due to Shaco's invisibility and box traps making counter-invades risky.

Power spikes

Spike at level 3 with spear poke and cougar execute; use this to force Shaco off camps or into risky fights.
Respect Shaco's level 2-3 gank threat when he has invisibility and box traps set up; avoid overextending without vision.
Nidalee's mobility and poke give her an edge in early duels if lands; capitalize before Shaco builds defensive items.

Win conditions

Convert early tempo leads into repeated camp steals and objective control to deny Shaco scaling and snowball potential.
Use spear poke and traps to set up ganks on overextended lanes, leveraging high mobility and burst.
Maintain river control with vision and traps to force Shaco into reactive paths and prevent cheese ganks and counter-jungling.
