Elise into Vimedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early game pressure to invade Vi before she scales.
Prioritize early river control and aggressive three-camp paths to enable dives and ganks.
Deny Vi jungle tempo and free farm by forcing her into defensive pathing early.

Invade Vi before her first reset when lanes can collapse using cocoon to punish.
Prioritize river control and Scuttle crabs when lanes hold priority to secure objectives and deny Vi vision.
Use early ganks and dives on snowball lanes to build leads and limit Vi's objective control.

Avoid fights when Vi's dash knockback is available and lanes lack priority.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Vi has lane priority and ready for lockdown smite fights.
Respect isolated river fights after low-health clears or failed invades, as Vi's dueling and objective control excel then.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage level 3 power spike.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse with you.
Avoid full clears early unless lanes can assist; focus on tempo and pressure instead.

Elise's level 3 with cocoon and rappel enables lethal early ganks and invades.
Vi's power spikes come from landing and post-6 lockdown; avoid isolated fights then.
Elise's early burst and form swapping give dueling advantage pre-6; contest camps and river fights aggressively.

Convert early ganks and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control with snowballing lanes.
Deny Vi free farm through aggressive counter-jungling and pressure to delay her mid-game impact.
Use Elise's superior early skirmishing and dive potential to create picks before Vi's lockdown is reliable.
