Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose due to Caitlyn's range advantage and Elise's superior all-in potential with cocoon.
- Post-6: The matchup remains difficult as Elise R provides more kill pressure than your sustain can handle.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q angles when enemies are CSing or when Elise is in human form without cocoon.
- Follow up successful bubbles immediately with W bounce and E on Lucian for maximum trade damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Lucian has wave control and Elise isn't in lane - typically after forcing Elise back or when she's spotted elsewhere.
- Time roams around your ADC's recall timings to avoid leaving him vulnerable.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on Elise when she has rappel available, as she can easily dodge it.
- Avoid using W for poke when you need the heal for sustain against Caitlyn's constant harassment.
