Lee Sin vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin must leverage his very high early game pressure to force river fights and invade before Elise can secure a lead.
Prioritize early tempo through aggressive pathing and contesting Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Elise's early gank threat.

Jungle Plan

Invade Elise's jungle early when lanes have priority, focusing on disrupting her three-camp into gank path.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle to deny Elise objective access and force her into reactive plays.
Use successful ganks to reset tempo and secure early dragons or Rift Herald setups before Elise can respond.

Danger windows

Beware Elise's early level 3 invade and gank timing, especially if your lanes lack priority or vision.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Elise's (E) cocoon and rappel can punish overextensions.
Be cautious contesting objectives like dragon if Elise has lane priority or numbers advantage for forced smite fights.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear aiming for level 3 to maximize early invade and counter-invade potential.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide support to avoid Elise's lethal early ganks.
Avoid extended full clears; mix camps with pressure to maintain tempo and prevent Elise from snowballing.

Power spikes

At level 3, Lee Sin gains full kit access enabling strong river duels; use (Q) to initiate and (W) to reposition aggressively.
At level 6, (R) provides displacement to isolate Elise or peel for teammates; prioritize flanking angles to maximize impact.
Respect Elise's early burst and (E) stun threat during her initial ganks and invades, especially before level 3.

Win conditions

Convert early invade success into sustained river control and vision dominance to limit Elise's effective gank paths.
Use superior dueling and mobility to punish Elise's full clears and invade her jungle to deny farm and reset her tempo.
Leverage (R) displacement in coordinated fights to isolate Elise or disrupt her objective attempts, snowballing leads before she scales.
