Guide to Countering Elise as Vi

Tips for Playing as Vi against Elise

A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.

Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.

Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Advice to Win Against Elise

Rappel has a long cooldown. Elise is vulnerable after she has used it.

Elise's Spider Form is more dangerous when you are at low health, and her Human Form more potent when you are at high health.

Rappel will only move Elise straight up and down unless she can descend upon an enemy unit.
