Shaco into Poppymedium

Overview

Use Shaco's early-game invisibility and high pressure to disrupt Poppy's three-camp start and steal camps.
Prioritize unpredictable jungle paths and box placements around river entrances to secure early Scuttle and dragon control.
Snowball lanes with early ganks before Poppy's terrain control and anti-dash tools become effective.

Jungle Plan

Invade early to steal camps before Poppy completes her three-camp into gank path and deny her tempo.
Use invisibility and deceptive routes to gank lanes where Poppy's dash denial is less effective.
Control river entrances with box traps before dragon or Herald to force Poppy into unfavorable fights or vision denial.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights where Poppy's wall stun and dash denial lock you down.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Poppy's ultimate is available to knock you away and reset fights.
Low-health clears expose you to counter-invades; maintain health with box setups and avoid overextending near walls.

Early game

Clear camps quickly with boxes to reach level 3 and power spike for early ganks or invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority; otherwise, set vision and prepare to counter-invade.
Avoid fighting near walls where Poppy can stun and block dashes; use stealth to bypass her terrain advantage.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks strong gank and invade potential; use it to pressure Poppy before she gains terrain control.
Poppy's level 6 can reset fights; bait it out before committing to objectives or skirmishes.
Shaco's early box setups and clone provide strong disruption for objective control and counter-ganks.

Win conditions

Use early invisibility and box control to invade, steal camps, and deny Poppy farm and tempo.
Convert jungle pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control by trapping objective entrances and forcing risky engages.
Snowball lanes with surprise ganks before grouped fights reduce your deception value and Poppy's peel utility rises.
