Elise is a Diver that deals magic (AP) damage and brings stun. Their hard CC is tenacity-reducible, so Mercury's Treads and tenacity items shorten their lockdown. Below is Elise's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveSpider Queen
Human Form: When Elise's abilities hit an enemy, she gains a dormant Spiderling. Spider Form: Basic attacks deal bonus magic damage and restore health to Elise.
QNeurotoxin / Venomous Bite
Human Form: Deals damage based upon how high the target's Health is. Spider Form: Lunges at an enemy and deals damage based upon how low their Health is.
WVolatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy
Human Form: Releases a venom-gorged Spiderling that explodes when it nears a target. Spider Form: Elise and her Spiderlings gain Attack Speed.
ECocoon / Rappel
Human Form: Stuns the first enemy unit hit and reveals them if they are not stealthed. Spider Form: Elise and her Spiderlings ascend into the air and then descend upon target enemy. After descending on an enemy target, Elise's bonus damage and healing from Spider Queen is increased.
RSpider Form
Transforms into a menacing spider, reducing her attack range in exchange for Move Speed, new abilities, and a Spiderling swarm that will attack her foes.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASElise
- Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.
- When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.
- Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.
PLAYING AGAINSTElise
- 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.
- Rappel has a long cooldown. Elise is vulnerable after she has used it.
