Fiddlesticks vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Focus on full clearing quickly to reach level 6 before contesting Elise's early pressure.
Avoid early river fights and invades until you have vision control and level advantage to offset Elise's strong early ganks.
This is a scale vs snowball jungle matchup; prioritize vision denial and objective control to leverage your late-game teamfight impact.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize efficient multi-camp clears and track Elise's pathing to avoid her early three-camp into gank patterns.
Contest river control and first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and Elise shows on the opposite side of the map.
Use your ultimate (R) to ambush fogged objectives like Dragon or Rift Herald once you reach level 6 and have vision denial set up.

Danger windows

Beware of Elise's level 3 invade timing when she can punish your slower early dueling and clear.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Elise's (E) cocoon and rappel can lock you down.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control, as Elise can force smite fights and dives with her early burst and mobility.

Early game

Execute a full clear path to hit level 6 on tempo and avoid early skirmishes where Elise can punish your lower dueling.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk of Elise's early ganks and counter-invades.
Use resets to sweep wards and prepare for objective setups rather than forcing early fights against Elise's strong level 3 pressure.

Power spikes

At level 6, use your ultimate (R) to create surprise engages that can turn fights and secure objectives.
Respect Elise's level 3 power spike when she gains access to her (E) stun and rappel for lethal early ganks.
Your very high clear speed is a power spike; use it to maintain tempo and reach key levels before Elise can punish.

Win conditions

Power farm efficiently to level 6 and deny Elise vision to enable impactful fog ambushes with your ultimate (R).
Use your superior scaling and objective control to force fights around Dragon and Rift Herald once you have vision dominance.
Counter-gank Elise's early pressure by tracking her pathing and collapsing with lanes that have priority to punish her snowball attempts.
