Volibear vs Elise

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's faster clear and durable brawling to contest river and force early fights before Elise can snowball.
Focus on leveraging level 6 dive threat and strong dueling to secure early objectives and deny Elise tempo.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with CC follow-up and dive potential to maximize gank threat.
Fight for first Scuttle only when lanes can move first to deny Elise vision and river control.
Use lane priority to start dragon or Void Grubs before Elise can contest and force her to respond.

Danger windows

Respect Elise's level 3 three-camp into gank timing, especially if lanes lack vision or priority.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 or without lane priority due to Elise's cocoon and rappel threat.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision control as Elise can force smite fights or collapse with early dives.

Early game

Start full clear to hit level 3 quickly and contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize river control to disrupt Elise's level 3 three-camp gank pattern.
Avoid extended invades without lane priority to prevent punishment from Elise's cocoon and rappel.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full combo with stun, shield, and healing; use this to contest camps and river fights aggressively.
Level 6 grants strong dive with (R), enabling tower dives and forcing Elise off objectives or lanes.
First bruiser or tank item increases durability, making repeated trades more favorable against Elise's burst.

Win conditions

Convert early river control and lane priority into dragon and Rift Herald setups before Elise scales.
Use level 6 dive threat to force Elise's lanes off waves, enabling safe invade or objective control.
Deny Elise free farm and jungle tempo by counter-jungling when lanes can follow, leveraging superior dueling and sustain to snowball leads.
