Poppy vs Elise

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early invade resistance and wall stun to contest Elise's early aggressive pathing and dives.
Prioritize river control and terrain-heavy skirmishes to leverage (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial against Elise's mobility.
Focus on denying Elise early tempo and scaling by counter-invading and punishing her reliance on early ganks.

Jungle Plan

Invade Elise early when your lanes can assist, using terrain to land (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to deny her rappel or cocoon.
Prioritize contesting Scuttle and river vision to prevent Elise from setting up early dives or objectives.
Use (R) to disengage or remove Elise from objective fights, especially during dragon or Rift Herald setups.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Elise's cocoon and rappel can secure kills.
Respect Elise's early invade timing and strong level 3 burst; avoid overextending without vision or lane support.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Elise's nearby lanes have priority and can collapse on you.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to leverage Poppy's strong level 3 anti-dash threat.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse and support river control.
Avoid full clears that delay pressure; path toward lanes where you can punish Elise's early gank attempts or invade timing.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to reset bad fights or isolate Elise, denying her early dive attempts and forcing her to respect your engage.
First tank item: Hold (W) for Elise's cocoon and rappel to survive early burst and maintain front-line control.
Early level 3: Leverage your anti-dash pattern to punish Elise's commitment and secure early jungle tempo.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into objective control by using (R) to deny Elise's access and secure dragon or Rift Herald.
Counter-invade and punish Elise's early gank attempts by tracking her pathing and collapsing with your lanes.
Use terrain to lock down Elise with (E) and (W), then peel or disrupt in teamfights to control dives and protect carries.
