Kindred vs Elise

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged kiting and mark control to contest river marks only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Elise's early gank threat.
Prioritize scaling through marks and objective DPS, avoiding early full clears that expose you to Elise's level 3 pressure and invades.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize mark spawns and river control when nearby lanes have priority to contest or steal marks safely.
Track Elise's early three-camp path and be ready to counter-gank her level 3 gank attempts near lanes with weak early pressure.
Use ranged dueling to kite Elise in river fights, then reset with (R) to maintain objective control and deny her early snowball.

Danger windows

Respect Elise's level 3 power spike when she can invade or gank with (E) stun and rappel for lethal burst.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Elise can punish with her early gank threat and mobility.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Elise's lanes lack priority, as she can force smite fights with early dives.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures marks efficiently without overextending into Elise's invade range.
Only contest first Scuttle when your lanes can respond first and you have vision to avoid Elise's lethal early ganks.
Avoid full clears early; instead, path toward marks and safe camps to maintain tempo and scaling potential.

Power spikes

Kindred's mark access and (R) fight reset create power spikes that enable extended objective control and skirmishes.
Elise's level 3 with (E) cocoon and rappel is a strong early spike; respect her burst by avoiding isolated river fights before level 4.
Kindred's scaling through marks outpaces Elise's early burst after the initial jungle phase; focus on securing marks to reach this advantage.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure marks and contest river control only when your team can respond first.
Kite Elise in skirmishes using ranged attacks and (R) resets to outlast her burst and maintain objective DPS.
Deny Elise early tempo by counter-jungling safely, then leverage scaling marks to dominate late-game objectives and teamfights.
