Rek'Sai into Elisemedium

Overview

Use Rek'Sai's faster clear and tunnels to outpace Elise's medium clear and pressure lanes first.
Prioritize early invades and river control to deny Elise's level 3 gank and dive windows.
Snowball early leads before Elise can stabilize with her burst and dive potential.

Execute early three-camp into gank or invade paths to pressure Elise before her level 3 spike.
Fight for first Scuttle when your lanes can respond faster, using tunnels to collapse and deny Elise river control.
Aggressively counter-jungle post-level 3 if Elise shows on the opposite side, leveraging your faster clear and dueling.

Respect Elise's level 3 power spike when cocoon is ready, especially in isolated river fights.
Avoid fighting Elise when low health after clears, as she can burst with rappel execute.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Rift Herald if Elise's lanes have priority or vision control for dives.

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly, then look to invade or contest Scuttle when lanes have priority.
Place tunnels around river objectives to secure vision and enable quick rotations for dragon control.
Avoid extended fights if Elise has cocoon ready; use mobility to disengage and reposition.

Rek'Sai's level 3 with knockup and tunnel access enables strong early ganks and skirmishes.
Elise's level 3 with cocoon and rappel is a lethal gank and dive threat; respect this window.
Rek'Sai's execute chase spike allows finishing low-health targets; punish Elise's cooldowns to secure kills.

Use Rek'Sai's early tunnel ganks and invades to snowball lanes and deny Elise safe farming.
Control river vision and secure first Scuttle to limit Elise's dive angles and objective setups.
Translate early tempo leads into dragon and Rift Herald control, then maintain pressure through counter-jungling and repeated ganks before Elise scales.
