Warwick vs Elise

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's strength lies in early dueling and sustain, allowing him to contest river control and punish Elise's early dives.
Prioritize fighting around lanes with lane priority to leverage (W) for tracking low-health targets and contest early Scuttle crab.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early Scuttle crab fights when nearby lanes hold priority to secure river vision and objective control.
Use your strong dueling and sustain to invade Elise before her first reset, especially if lanes can collapse on her.
Track Elise's pathing to counter-gank her early ganks and punish her reliance on form swapping and burst.

Danger windows

Beware Elise's early level 3-4 window when she has (E) cocoon and rappel available for lethal ganks and dives.
Avoid isolated river fights when Elise's lanes have priority or her (E) is off cooldown to prevent getting caught by her stun.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Elise can capitalize on burst and crowd control to punish you.

Early game

Start with a healthy clear focusing on camps that keep you healthy to contest early Scuttle crab.
Use your sustain to challenge Elise's three-camp into gank path and be ready to counter-invade if lanes can collapse.
Avoid extended fights if Elise has (E) cocoon available; wait for her cooldowns before committing to river skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full kit, enabling sustained fights where (E) can absorb burst and (Q) heals through damage; use this to outlast Elise's burst.
Level 6 (R) grants suppression and long-range engage, allowing you to force picks or all-ins after baiting Elise's movement.
First dueling or tank item completion increases your durability and damage, solidifying your ability to contest objectives and extended fights.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins into objective control by securing Scuttle crabs and early dragons with lane priority support.
Use (W) to track low-health targets for picks and snowball leads through counter-jungling and cross-map pressure.
Leverage your sustain and suppression to force extended fights and deny Elise free farm, preventing her from snowballing early leads.
