Red Buff Clear (Pretty Common)

Botside Clear
Place 2 boxes at your Raptors as shown, and then 1 in front of your raptor pit towards Red Brambleback , As shown on the picture below

NOTE THAT ALWAYS PLACE YOUR FIRST BOX AT 0:50
So after you finish your raptors, you have 2 options: Go for Krugs then straight to botlane or go to your blue buff and straight gank your mid or top (Invading is optional, depends on the enemy jungle if has weak jungle clear path)

Same in Topside red buff clear after you finished clearing your red and raptors, you can either go to krugs then straight to top or go to your blue then gank bot

Blue Buff Clear (Optional)

Topside Clear
Same in your red buff box placement, Place 2 boxes at your Blue as shown, and then 1 in your gromps, As shown on the picture below

NOTE THAT ALWAYS PLACE YOUR FIRST BOX AT 0:50
So after you clear your blue buff and the gromp, you also have 2 options: you can go straight to wolves then proceed to full clear your redside so that you can either gank mid or bot, or you can straight to top lane after you take the wolves.

Same in Blue clear botside, after you finished clearing blue and gromp you can either go to your redside and full clear then straight to gank top or after you finished wolves, you can go straight to bot early to burn the enemies spell.

Placing boxes
- When placing boxes make sure to place them where the enemy team will go. When in a teamfight, make sure to put the boxes in closed spaces where the enemy will be heading once their HP drops down so that no one escapes the fight.

Utilizing your 3rd Skill
- When using your 3rd skill, make sure to wait the enemies HP drop down to 30% so that it will deal more damage. You can also use your 3rd when chasing someone, shaco's 3rd skill also has slow, its good for chasing or when someone's chasing you.

Q positioning
- Always hide yourself when a teamfight is about to happen, for example: When there is a clash in mid make sure to position yourself in a place where you can easily Q, just like the raptors area or the bush on the wolves area.

Ult is important
- Take advatange of your clone, you can use your clone to juke enemies. When you use your ult make sure to control them too, once you mastered it. It will be easy for you to duel enemies.

- Did you know that your clone can have a permanent HOB buff? Make sure to proc your HOB then ult so that your clone will have a perma HOB buff until your clone dies. For example: Basic attack first then ULT

- You can easily do solo dragons with your clone, make sure to postion your clone really close to the dragon so that he will target your clone instead of you.
