Ivern vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking and buff sharing to deny Elise camps without engaging in early duels.
Focus on utility scaling and protecting carries with shields and Daisy rather than fighting Elise directly early.
Manage river control carefully to avoid Elise's high early gank threat and strong invade potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize unusual routing to deny Elise camps and delay her full clears, leveraging Ivern's marking to avoid direct duels.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and can assist in counter-ganks.
Use cross-map objective setups and vision to force Elise into unfavorable fights and deny her early snowball opportunities.

Danger windows

Respect Elise's early invade window before her first reset when she can punish isolated clears with (E) stun.
Avoid isolated river fights early where Elise's mobility and crowd control can trap you.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Elise's lanes have priority or if you lack vision to prevent her early dives.

Early game

Start with a safe three-camp clear and mark camps to enable buff sharing and avoid Elise's early invade pressure.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can collapse quickly to support counter-ganks.
Avoid isolated fights early; prioritize pathing through lanes that can follow up on your crowd control and Daisy setup.

Power spikes

Ivern's utility spikes with Daisy and (Q) root enable strong teamfight setup; use these to protect carries and initiate.
Elise's level 3 power spike with (E) stun and rappel demands respect; avoid early isolated fights before you have lane support.
Elise's early gank threat peaks pre-level 6; play around lane priority and cooldowns to minimize her impact.

Win conditions

Leverage Ivern's camp marking and buff sharing to deny Elise jungle tempo and force her into risky invades.
Use Daisy and (Q) root to set up ganks and counter-ganks when lanes have priority, converting jungle control into objectives.
Focus on scaling utility by shielding carries and controlling vision around dragon and Rift Herald to outmaneuver Elise's early aggression.
