Elise vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Elise's very high early game pressure to force river fights and invade before Lee Sin can reset or scale.
Prioritize early ganks and dives to snowball lanes and deny Lee Sin free farm or tempo.

Jungle Plan

Path for early three-camp clears into river control and look to invade Lee Sin before his first reset if lanes can collapse.
Prioritize contesting Scuttle crabs when your lanes have priority to deny Lee Sin vision and objective access.
Use early ganks and dives to create lane leads, then transition to objective setups around dragon or Rift Herald with lane priority.

Danger windows

Respect Lee Sin's level 3 invade timing when he has health and cooldowns to force river fights.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes before your lanes have priority or vision control to prevent getting caught by Lee Sin's mobility and (R).
Be cautious contesting objectives if (R) is available and he can flank or displace your team.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to maximize Elise's level 3 power spike.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage Elise's strong early dueling and crowd control.
Avoid full clears into Lee Sin's early level 3 invade window unless you have vision and lane support.

Power spikes

Elise's level 3 unlocks lethal gank and invade potential with (E) cocoon and rappel; use this to force early fights.
Lee Sin's level 3 enables strong skirmishes with (Q) and (W); respect his early river moves and avoid isolated fights without lane support.
Elise should leverage early kills to snowball before Lee Sin's level 6 (R) displacement becomes a threat.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and successful invades into lane priority and objective control around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use Elise's strong early dueling and crowd control to deny Lee Sin farm and force him behind before scaling.
Maintain river vision and track Lee Sin's pathing to counter-gank and punish his early pressure attempts, snowballing your team ahead.
