Shaco vs Viego

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shaco's high early pressure and invisibility to disrupt Viego's jungle path and steal camps before he can react.
Prioritize surprise ganks and box control around river entrances to deny Viego safe access to Scuttle and objectives.
Exploit Shaco's faster clear speed and stronger invade resistance to force Viego into reactive play and limit his reset potential.

Jungle Plan

Path unpredictably to leverage (Q) invisibility and box traps for early camp steals and surprise ganks before Viego scales.
Control river entrances with boxes before dragon or Void Grubs to deny Viego vision and safe objective access.
Track Viego's pathing and shadow lanes with priority to counter-gank and punish overextensions, then convert kills into Herald or dragon setups.

Danger windows

Respect Viego's level 6 power spike where one takedown can trigger resets and turn fights.
Avoid isolated river fights where (E) camouflage and (W) stun can catch Shaco off guard.
Be cautious in low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego can capitalize on sustained dueling and reset chains.

Early game

Start with a box setup for a fast and healthy clear, enabling level 2 or 3 invade attempts.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to support and reduce counter-gank risk.
Avoid extended fights early if Viego has lane assistance or cooldowns ready; instead, reset tempo by farming opposite side camps.

Power spikes

Level 2 and 3 power spikes allow Shaco to execute cheese ganks or invades that can snowball lanes early.
Viego's level 6 (R) unlocks reset and execute potential; avoid isolated fights and punish his lack of resets before this point.
Shaco's early box and clone setups enhance objective control and skirmish disruption, pressuring Viego's mid-game scaling window.

Win conditions

Use deceptive early paths and box control to steal camps and create chaos, denying Viego safe farming and resets.
Convert early ganks and counter-jungling into vision and control around dragon and Rift Herald to force favorable fights.
Maintain tempo advantage through fast clears and unpredictable ganks to prevent Viego from reaching his mid-game scaling and reset potential.
