Elise is an early ganker and diver who must leverage her very high early game pressure to punish Diana's medium early game tempo.
Focus on invading and contesting river control before Diana can complete her full clear and reach level 6 power spikes.
Jungle Plan
Execute early three-camp into gank or invade paths to punish Diana's farming tempo before level 6.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when your lanes can collapse to secure objectives like dragon or Rift Herald.
Track Diana's pathing closely to counter-gank her early pressure and deny her scaling through tempo denial.
Danger windows
Avoid fighting Diana when her (Q) and (E) are available and she can reset (E) on Moonlight-marked targets.
Be cautious contesting isolated river fights or forced smite battles before level 6 when Diana's mobility and burst can punish mistakes.
Watch for Diana's level 6 (R) window during objective setups; hold key defensive tools and avoid forced fights.
Early game
Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks or an invade before Diana resets.
Prioritize early Scuttle control only if nearby lanes have priority to support fights.
Avoid full clearing into Diana's fast clear to prevent losing tempo and counter-invade risks.
Power spikes
Elise's level 3 unlocks lethal (E) cocoon and rappel combos for early ganks and invades; use this to punish Diana's mid-clear timing.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst with (Q)+(W)+(E) combo and her level 6 (R) for all-in threat; avoid fights when these are up unless you have lane priority.
After Diana completes her first AP skirmish item, be more cautious as her damage and objective control improve significantly.
Win conditions
Use early three-camp clears into aggressive ganks or invades to snowball lanes and deny Diana free farm.
Secure river vision and contest Scuttle to control dragon and Rift Herald timings, forcing Diana into unfavorable fights.
Convert early leads into objective control and pressure to prevent Diana from reaching her mid-game scaling power spikes.
