Shaco vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shaco's early-game deception and high clear speed enable aggressive level 2-3 ganks and camp steals to snowball before Fizz's burst potential spikes.
Prioritize unpredictable pathing and box setups around river entrances to control objective access and punish Fizz's melee engage windows.
This matchup favors early tempo and chaos creation over late scaling; deny Fizz free farm and avoid predictable routes once tracked.

Jungle Plan

Use early clears and invisibility (Q) to invade and steal camps before Fizz reaches level 3 power spike.
Control river vision and place boxes to secure dragon and Rift Herald entrances before starting objectives.
Track Fizz's pathing to time counter-ganks, especially around his level 3 and 6 spikes, and leverage your high mobility to punish overextensions.

Danger windows

Early invade windows where Fizz can counter-gank with level 3 burst combo; avoid river fights without lane priority or vision.
Isolated skirmishes post-level 6 where Fizz can use (R) for lethal all-ins; rely on box zones and team presence to reduce risk.
Forced smite fights near dragon or Herald when Fizz's burst and mobility can outduel; approach only with vision and lane support.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using boxes to maintain health and create early pressure for level 2-3 invade or gank attempts.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support; otherwise, focus on setting traps at key river entrances.
Avoid direct fights early unless you have vision and lane priority to counter-gank Fizz's level 3 burst combo.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Shaco's early gank and invade potential peaks; use this window to disrupt Fizz before he unlocks his full combo.
Level 6: Fizz's ultimate increases his kill threat; respect this by avoiding isolated fights and using box setups to deter engages.
First completed assassin item: Fizz's damage spikes; prioritize denying him farm and vision control to mitigate his roaming impact.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and camp steals into dragon and Rift Herald control by pre-setting boxes and denying Fizz safe access.
Use invisibility (Q) and box disruption to create unpredictable gank angles, snowball lanes, and force Fizz off his rhythm.
Maintain river vision and track Fizz's cooldowns to counter-jungle and punish his post-level 6 roam attempts, denying scaling and map pressure.
