Elise Jungle meta analysis (Patch 26.13)

Elise holds a 49.6% win rate in the Jungle role on Patch 26.13, 0.6 points below the Jungle role average of 50.2%. That is the 36th highest win rate of 44 Jungle champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 1.9% pick rate (37th most played in the role) and a 1.1% ban rate, Elise rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Elise Jungle held steady at C tier through Patch 26.13, with no tier movement since the previous data merge. Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At C tier, Elise is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Elise Jungle games. The hardest matchups this patch are Graves (47.9% win rate for Elise) and Kayn (48.1% win rate for Elise): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, JarvanIV (52.9%) and Sylas (51.6%) are the matchups to look for, where Elise wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.

Elise Jungle guide

Elise jungle clears camps in Human Form and ganks by transforming: Neurotoxin (Q) chips down a target, Cocoon (E) stuns and reveals the first enemy it hits, and Spider Form (R) turns her into a spider with a Spiderling swarm to finish the fight.

The build

Rune page: Dark Harvest, Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter (Domination), with Coup de Grace and Triumph (Precision). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy (W) at level 1, then maxes Neurotoxin (Q) first, following the Q, W, E priority. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Stormsurge, Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, with Lich Bane, Dark Seal, and Rabadon's Deathcap as later options.

Ability mechanics

Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite (Q) deals more damage the higher the target's health is in Human Form, and more the lower it is once she's transformed. Cocoon / Rappel (E) stuns the first enemy unit it hits and reveals them if unstealthed in Human Form; in Spider Form it sends Elise and her Spiderlings airborne before descending on a target, increasing the bonus damage and healing Spider Queen (passive) grants afterward. Spider Form (R) itself trades attack range for Move Speed, new abilities, and an active Spiderling swarm.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Graves, Kayn, Naafiri, Kha'Zix, Viego. Best matchups: Jarvan IV, Sylas, Lee Sin.
