Master Yi vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Master Yi should focus on full clearing and scaling toward item spikes while avoiding early river fights against Elise's strong early pressure.
Prioritize tracking Elise's position to avoid early invades and punish her if she overextends or misses key crowd control.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and cross-map camp trades to maintain tempo and avoid getting caught by Elise's early ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to back you up.
Track Elise's early pathing to predict her gank routes and prepare counter-ganks or safe objective setups.

Danger windows

Avoid early isolated river fights where Elise's (E) stun and dive potential can burst you down.
Be cautious during low-health clears and forced smite fights before your first item spike.
Respect Elise's early invade window before you have tempo or reset access; avoid overextending without vision or lane priority.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach a safe reset timing and item progress before contesting river.
Avoid fighting Elise early unless nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and Elise is visible on opposite side of the map.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase and reset on low-health targets after Elise commits her crowd control.
After first item, increase objective control and punish messy fights where Elise's early burst is less effective.
Respect Elise's early level 3 power spike when she can gank or invade aggressively with (E) stun and rappel mobility.

Win conditions

Maintain high camp tempo and reach item spikes to outscale Elise's early pressure.
Use vision and tracking to counter-gank Elise's early attempts and punish her when her crowd control is on cooldown.
Convert scaling advantage into objective control and clean up fights after Elise's key crowd control is used.
