Vanguard Elise
Overview
Reroll players, this one is yours: Vanguard Elise stays on level 6 rolling for Elise, a 2-cost unit you want at three stars. Its 5.20 average placement across 4,746 tracked games earns it a Tier D grade this patch.
In the wider field it ranks #44 of 53 by placement, 0.28 better than the Tier D median of 5.48. A quiet line — 0.26% pick rate against 0.5% at the median — so the units come cheap.
Give your first completed items to Elise — recorded games favor Crownguard, Gargoyle Stoneplate, and Warmogs Armor on it, averaging 4.29 when completed. After that, spare components go to Caitlyn.
Caitlyn marks this comp out — only 2 other tracked comps field it. The final board keeps 5 traits active, led by Vanguard (4); Hunter (3) is the biggest supporting piece. One synergy is still switched off: Coven, at 2 units; add a Coven Emblem and the trait comes online at 3 units.
Coven Emblem tops the emblem list for this roster, and Invoker Emblem takes second. Asked the other way — “I found a Coven Emblem, what do I play?” — this board ranks #1 of the 2 comps our model scores for it.
This is not the only home for Elise; Elderwood Aphelios and Hunter Caitlyn run it too, and that overlap is where your pivots (in either direction) live.
The 4,746-game sample is thin by this patch's standards; read the averages as an estimate, not a verdict.
