Elise vs Warwick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Elise's very high early gank and dive pressure to punish Warwick's medium clear speed and force him off camps early.
Prioritize early invades and river control to deny Warwick's sustain advantage and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist.

Jungle Plan

Invade Warwick before his first reset when your lanes can collapse to punish his medium clear and limit his scaling.
Prioritize early Scuttle control and river vision to deny Warwick's sustain and early objective attempts.
Use Elise's strong early gank threat to snowball lanes and secure dragon or Rift Herald setups before Warwick can contest effectively.

Danger windows

Beware of Warwick's level 3 dueling window when he can outlast trades with healing and fear.
Avoid isolated river fights where Warwick's sustain and fear can turn skirmishes against you.
Respect Warwick's level 6 suppression engage, especially when lanes are overextended or low health, to avoid getting collapsed on.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early gank or invade to leverage Elise's level 3 pressure before Warwick hits his power spikes.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and can collapse quickly to avoid Warwick's strong dueling and sustain.
Avoid full clears into Warwick's jungle when lanes lack priority to prevent getting counter-invaded or forced into unfavorable fights.

Power spikes

Elise spikes at level 3 with full kit for lethal ganks and invades; use this to pressure Warwick's jungle.
Respect Warwick's level 3 dueling power with (E) fear and sustain; avoid extended fights without cooldowns.
Warwick's level 6 (R) unlocks suppression and long-range engage; bait or sidestep it to prevent lethal picks.

Win conditions

Convert early gank leads into objective control by coordinating with lanes to secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Use early invades and counter-jungling to deny Warwick's scaling and force him into defensive farming.
Leverage Elise's mobility and crowd control to create pick opportunities and snowball lanes before Warwick's mid-game power spikes.
