Elise into Volibearmedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank and invade pressure to punish Volibear's slower scaling jungle pathing.
Prioritize early tempo by invading before Volibear's first reset and avoid full clears that give him tempo.
Leverage early dives and counterjungling to deny Volibear mid-game power spikes and objective control.

Path toward lanes with strong early gank potential and invade Volibear before his first reset when lanes can collapse.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid Volibear's strong dueling.
Use early kills and lane pressure to secure dragon and Rift Herald before Volibear can leverage his dive threat.

Avoid invading when stun and shield are available to prevent lethal river fights.
Be cautious contesting objectives or Scuttle without lane priority to prevent counter-invades.
Watch for Volibear's level 6 dive threat under turrets; do not overextend or fight isolated near enemy towers.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to maximize Elise's early pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse; otherwise avoid risky river fights.
Ward Volibear's jungle entrances early to track his pathing and set up counter-ganks or invades.

Elise's level 3 spike enables lethal ganks and dives; punish Volibear's extended clears or isolated camps.
Respect Volibear's level 6 which enables tower dives and disables turret safety; avoid solo fights near turrets.
Pressure trades and skirmishes before Volibear completes his first bruiser or tank item to maintain advantage.

Convert early ganks and successful invades into lane leads that enable dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use Elise's superior early dueling and crowd control to deny Volibear free farm and force him off camps.
Maintain river vision and track Volibear's pathing to counter-gank his early pressure and secure tempo for your team.
