Elise vs Ivern

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank and dive pressure to punish Ivern's medium early game and low dueling strength.
Prioritize invading and contesting camps before Ivern can safely share buffs or complete his unique clears, denying his scaling utility.

Jungle Plan

Invade Ivern before his first reset when lanes can collapse to deny his buff shares and disrupt his utility scaling.
Contest river control and Scuttle Crab only when your lanes have priority to secure early objectives and vision.
Use early kills and lane priority to set up dives and snowball lanes before Ivern's utility becomes impactful.

Danger windows

Beware of isolated river fights near Ivern's Daisy (R) knockup and root (Q) where Elise can be locked down.
Avoid forced smite fights when Elise is low health or after failed invades, as Ivern's utility can turn objective control.
Respect Ivern's counter-gank potential when your lanes lack priority, especially around early dragons and Rift Herald.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early gank or invade to capitalize on Elise's level 3 pressure.
Fight for the first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Ivern.
Avoid full clears into Ivern and instead path aggressively to punish his slower, utility-focused clear and invade resistance.

Power spikes

Elise spikes at level 3 with full basic abilities and cocoon (E), enabling lethal early ganks and invades; use this to force Ivern off camps.
Respect Ivern's power spike around level 6 when Daisy (R) can turn fights with knockups and crowd control.
Elise's early burst and mobility create windows to punish Ivern's lower dueling and mobility before he reaches his utility peak.

Win conditions

Convert early kills and lane priority into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing vision and forcing Ivern off objectives.
Use Elise's strong early ganks and invades to deny Ivern free farm and delay his utility scaling.
Snowball lanes through dives and counter-jungling before Ivern can leverage his late-game shields and teamfight presence.
