How to play it

Dodge his box
His box appears visible and sits dormant for a moment before it arms: step out of its radius and let your dogs proc it so you never eat the fear.
Mark the real one
Land your Q bleed or Ignite before he ults: the real Shaco always keeps the DoT ticking, so his clone never hides the target from you.
Control wards
Bring control wards: Shaco pulls up and shanks you from behind with no warning, so light up the spots he sneaks in from.
Never chase Shaco into his boxes and blinks: it plays straight into his strengths; cut your losses and pressure elsewhere.
