Evelynn vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn must survive Elise's early invade pressure and weak early dueling by focusing on clean full clears and avoiding risky river paths.
This is a scale-focused matchup where Evelynn leverages stealth and AP burst post-6 to punish Elise's early game aggression and snowball attempts.

Jungle Plan

Start with a full clear and avoid predictable low-health river paths to reduce Elise's early invade risk.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and can collapse on Elise's early ganks or invades.
After level 6, use camouflage to cross-map and punish pushed or isolated lanes, focusing on pick opportunities before objectives.

Danger windows

Beware Elise's level 3 power spike when she can invade and gank aggressively with (E) stun and rappel.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Elise's burst and crowd control can punish Evelynn's weaker dueling.
Be cautious contesting objectives pre-6 or without lane priority, as Elise can force smite fights and dives.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear to safely reach level 6 without being disrupted by Elise's early ganks or invades.
Avoid fighting Elise for first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks.
Use control wards and sweepers to secure safe post-6 flank paths instead of contesting early river fights directly.

Power spikes

Evelynn's level 6 camouflage unlocks high gank threat and pick potential; use it to flank and capitalize on Elise's lower scaling.
Elise's early levels have strong dueling and gank pressure; respect her level 3-5 window by avoiding isolated fights.
Evelynn's AP scaling and stealth make her a late-game threat; focus on reaching this point safely to outscale Elise's early advantage.

Win conditions

Survive Elise's early invade and gank pressure by full clearing and tracking her pathing to avoid ambushes.
Use post-6 camouflage stealth to create picks on overextended or pushed lanes, converting kills into dragon or Rift Herald control.
Leverage Evelynn's superior late-game scaling by denying Elise early tempo and forcing teamfights where Evelynn's AP burst can shine.
