Rek'Sai into Shacomedium

Overview

Use Rek'Sai's superior early clear speed and tunnels to outpace Shaco's deceptive paths.
Prioritize river control and early Scuttle fights to deny Shaco's box setups.
Force Shaco into reactive routes by invading before his clone and traps become active.

Use tunnels to gank flashless or overextended lanes immediately after first clear to snowball lanes.
Invade Shaco's jungle aggressively before his box setups and clone are active, especially with lane follow-up.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Shaco scaling and force him into teamfights.

Beware Shaco's level 2-3 invade attempts using invisibility and fear.
Avoid low-health clears near river entrances where Shaco's boxes and clone can trap you.
Respect forced smite fights around dragon or Rift Herald when Shaco controls approach angles with boxes.

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks or invades.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to prevent Shaco from securing river control.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Shaco's invisibility and fear can trap you.

Level 3 with knockup and tunnel mobility enables strong early ganks and invades.
Shaco's level 2-3 invisibility and fear create a threat window to respect by avoiding predictable paths.
Rek'Sai's ultimate lets you punish Shaco's clone mispositioning during skirmishes.

Convert early tunnel ganks and invades into first dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use superior dueling and tempo to deny Shaco free farm and force reactive routes.
Maintain river vision to counter Shaco's deceptive ganks and trap placements for safer counter-ganks.
