Wukong jungle is bound to make a comeback with his buffs on the pbe. This is good for Elise, as his close range squishy playstyle makes it easy for you to nuke him. You win trades at every phase of the game as long as he isn't super fed. Make sure to use your cacoon on him and not his clone. Use your repel to avoid his ultimate and you are golden.
Master Yi
Early game this is an extremely easy match up. He can Q your spiderlings to avoid some damage, but using your EWQRWQ combo can wreck him. Late game can be a real pain, but as long as you have your CORE items and a red smite you can win a fight.
Kha'Zix
Khazix is easy to beat when played right. His counter is CC, try to avoid being isolated using spiderlings and save your repel for his jump.
Lee Sin
Lee is weaker than you after level 3, avoid him until then. There is a point in the mid game where he can win fights against you if played extremely well. (levels 6 - 11) The main problem for you however, is his ganking. He has a higher mobility than elise, but a lower clear speed. Either keep his jungle warded and
counter jungle him often to get ahead, or use your game knowledge to countergank.
Amumu
He's hard to kill after level 6 for obvious reasons, his clear speed is better than yours, and he has better team fighting potential. In a skirmish you need highly mobile or highly tanky team mates.
Galio
Not typically a jungler, but its very hard to play against a team with Galio. Elise has melee all in potential which is what Galio counters.
Sejuani
Anivia
Azir
Evelynn
Ezreal
Diana
Braum
Draven
Perfect combos will kill him, miss anything and you will probably die.
Ekko
His ultimate counters your burst since it has a relatively high cooldown.
Ashe
low mobility, no escape.
Kayn
unless he goes red, super easy to kill and dodge.
Gnar
Rammus
Deceptively easy to out jungle. You have roughly the same clear speed, use wards to counter jungle and put him behind on xp.
Darius
Fiora
Not unwinnable, but a good fiora will save her e for you cacoon.
Gragas
Cho'Gath
Kindred
Easy for you to kill solo until level 6, and if you are ahead (2+ kills) you should be able to combo her before she can get her ult off.
Caitlyn
Even if you land your e on her
Camille
difficult to gank but not impossible. Try to coordinate with top laner to get her to use cooldowns first. You can repel into/out of her ultimate.
Blitzcrank
You can use your spiderlings as bait for his hook, make sure to position them in line with his hook.
Soraka
Kill her first in fights if at all possible. She has no mobility and you should be able to finish her off in a single combo.
Janna
Janna can outplay your gank, but she is squishy. Target her first if possible to avoid her adc getting shields and heals.
Jhin
low mobility, no escape.
Annie
If her stun is up, you can avoid it with repel if played correctly.
Brand
Bard
Aatrox
Who even plays AAtrox? Just keep distance if his passive is up, wreck him when its down.
Garen
I don't recomend ganking Garen unless you have a hefty amount of AP/Penetration.
Akali
Her stustain can make it difficult to finish her off unless you are 2v1.
Corki
Kog'Maw
low mobility, no escape.
Fizz
You can force him to use e alot of the time by casting q or auto attacking first, then use your stun.
Malzahar
He has low mobility, but his passive makes ganking difficult. Coordinate with your laner to dispell his passive first when ganking, or use your ranged q to pop it before using stun.
Graves
Graves is deceptive. If you are confident with your kit, you can beat an equally skilled Graves. However, one mistep = you dead. He is weak in open areas due to his Q mechanics. Try to avoid jungle fights.
Illaoi
Don't bother ganking her, her sustain and aoe damage is too strong for an elise gank.
Jax
Very tanky after early mid game. Easy to gank during lane phase if you wait for him to use jump.
Fiddlesticks
Wait for him to use drain before casting e. Keep his jungle/gank spots warded.
Dr. Mundo
Build morello + void staff.
Kalista
Hard to land cacoon on her, other than that pretty easy.
Veigar
You can use your repel to avoid his stun.
Lux
Dodge her Q, she should be dead if you do.
Hecarim
His mobility and unstoppable ult make it very hard to have more effective ganks and he clears faster than you.
Nasus
Late game sucks against him, but if you have enough magic penetration you should be fine.
Morgana
her black shield shuts your ganks down, avoid whatever lane she is in. Her ultimate WILL work even while you are repelled.
Katarina
If you land your cc, she will die. If you miss, you will die.
Ryze
Gets harder to kill late game, shut him down early.
Zed
Gangplank
Irelia
Jayce
Xerath
Yorick
Mordekaiser
Alistar
Miss Fortune
Cassiopeia
Ivern
Poppy
Jarvan IV
Nautilus
Rumble
Olaf
Nidalee
Orianna
Lucian
Sivir
Have to save your e for her spellshield.
Teemo
low mobility, no escape.
Jinx
low mobility, no escape.
Quinn
high mobility, no escape.
Singed
Annoying, but if you hit e he should die 2v1.
Nami
Riven
Hard to finish off because of her shields, its also hard for her to kill you.
Skarner
Don't reccomend picking elise into skarner. Bannable champion for you.
Zilean
His ult is annoying, but you can kill him inside stun if ahead enough.
Sion
Easy to kill with enough penetration items. He has no reliable escape, ultimate his actually easy to counter with your repel.
Maokai
Hard to kill, but you can be just as effective in team fights with cc.
Malphite
Easy to kill during lane phase, avoid fighting near him in team fights.
Taric
Annoying cc and heals. Not a counter pick, but there are better junglers to play against taric.
Vi
Very hard to out jungle a good Vi. She clears fast and hits hard. Your only shot is to own her in the pre-6 early phase. Use deep wards to gank where she isn't or take objectives.
Nunu & Willump
Annoying, he can eat your spiderlings for sustain.
Zac
The more skilled jungler wins.
Tahm Kench
He eats your stun target.
Renekton
Ganking him is generally a bad idea unless you have a good top laner, but post lane phase Renekton has low impact on your teamfights.
Xin Zhao
In an even game you can beat him if played right.
Pantheon
Better jungler wins, try to keep deep wards in his jungle to warn lanes for his ganks.
Vayne
A good vayne is a terror against elise. A bad vayne is ezpz. What elo are you in? If you need this guide, avoid playing elise into vayne.
Ahri
Hit your stun and she should flash/ult/die.
Karma
Nocturne
With the nocturn buffs, he wins duels and can shield your e. Fear will go off even if you are repelled in the air, use it to escape to a minion camp.
Rengar
You can win fights against him unless he builds QSS, in that case you need to force fights and peel the rengars target.
Ornn
Don't bother ganking him, but he shouldn't have much impact on the other lanes.
Twitch
low mobility, but stealth makes him hard to gank sometimes.
Vel'Koz
avoid his knockup, easy kills.
Lulu
Aurelion Sol
Kai'Sa
Karthus
Lissandra
Rakan
Ziggs
Has pretty high range, but if his w is on cooldown he can't really run away.
Shen
He makes it difficult to get kills after level 11.
Shyvana
If she builds a decent amount of mr you can't beat her 1v1.
Swain
His sustain, short cooldowns, and aoe make him a terror for elise. Even with Morello his ultimate gives extra hp and will probably kill you before you can finish the job.
Vladimir
If you have morellos he can be beaten.
Shaco
A good shaco can win, but in an even matchup elise should win a 1v1 and you clear faster than him. Use deep wards to counter.
Hello, and welcome to my new guide on Elise! I've tried to include some information about common matchups in the champion information section. I've also added almost every champion matchup. If you are just starting to play Elise I reccomend only picking her when your enemy has at least 1 champion in the green second and NO champions in the red section.
I will continue working on this guide and include videos and combos soon!
