Elise Counters

The top champions not in lane to counter Elise include Xayah, Aphelios, and Jinx. These champs are all great at countering Elise with high win rates over 58%. Even if these Elise counter picks are not played in the same position as you, it's not smart to play her into these matchups. They will often beat Elise.

Conversely, if the opposing team choses either Maokai or Xerath, you should seriously consider picking her, as she easily crushes these champs with win rates over 52% against each ofthem.

Elise is an early game threat. She can potentially start ganking from level 3, and once she completes her first item, she becomes a danger to squishy champions who lack magic resistance. Devise a strategy to survive early game aggression and focus on leveling up.

Elise relies heavily on her Blue Buff. Stealing it away can significantly reduce her ability to cast her abilities frequently, making her an easier target for enemy invasions. Try to invade her jungle early and deny her the blue buff.

Pay attention to her use of her E ability. This is her main tool to escape, initiate fights, and to avoid crowd control. If she uses it carelessly, it could lead to her downfall. Bait her into using her E at the wrong times, and she'll be vulnerable for a brief period.

Elise is powerful at ganking and objectives due to her abilities, especially her E for picking off champions. Be careful of your positioning on the map, especially if you are a squishy carry, and make sure you ward the map to prevent successful ganks.

In the late game, Elise's strength begins to falter unless she's significantly ahead. Exploit this by focusing on leveling up and accumulating items to increase your magic resistance, which can ensure your survival against her burst damage.

Elise's Q works differently based on her form, and using the wrong form at the wrong time can prevent her from getting a kill. Try to force her to make form mistakes, and be ready to capitalize on these moments.

If Elise gets ahead, do not panic. Continue farming and securing your jungle to gain gold. Teamwork is crucial when playing against her, especially in the late game. Stick together with your team and focus on taking down objectives.
