Elise into Viegomedium

Overview

Use Elise's very high early-game pressure to invade or gank before Viego hits key item spikes.
Prioritize aggressive three-camp clears into early ganks or invades to punish Viego's medium invade resistance.
Leverage your strong crowd control and burst to snowball lanes and deny Viego's scaling comfort.

Invade Viego's jungle before his first reset when lanes can collapse to deny his scaling.
Aggressively contest river control when your lanes have priority to secure Scuttle and set up early objectives.
Track Viego's pathing with wards to counter-gank his early pressure around lanes with CC or strong follow-up.

Avoid isolated river skirmishes after Viego hits level 6 when can reset fights.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego can snowball resets.
Do not invade without lane priority or vision advantage, as Viego can punish with stun and camouflage.

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early ganks or invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure kills.
Avoid full clears that delay tempo; path toward lanes that can snowball from your pressure.

Use Elise's level 3 power spike with cocoon and rappel for lethal early ganks and invades.
Respect Viego's level 6 spike; avoid isolated fights without lane support after this point.
Prioritize fights before Viego completes his first fighter item to avoid his stronger sustained dueling and resets.

Convert early ganks and invades into objective control by securing first dragons and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Deny Viego free farm and scaling by invading before his item power spikes.
Use Elise's superior early dueling and crowd control to create skirmishes that snowball lanes and prevent Viego resets.
