Playing as Elise

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start human, finish spider

    Start in human form with Cocoon (E) then Neurotoxin (Q), strong on a high-health target. Finish in spider form with Venomous Bite (Q), strong on a low-health target.

  2. Drop on your target to finish

    In spider form, save Rappel (E) to finish or to escape: landing on your target empowers Spider Queen (passive), and Rappel's long cooldown leaves you vulnerable afterward.

  3. Speed up your spiders

    In spider form, cast Skittering Frenzy (W) once you're on your target: you and your spiderlings gain attack speed, and they attack the target you bite.

  4. Gank early and often

    Gank early and often: Cocoon (E) stuns the first enemy hit from range, and Elise is strongest before everyone has their items.

Playing against Rek'Sai

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from where she surfaces

    Keep your distance when she's burrowed near you: with Un-burrow (W), enemies near where she surfaces take a knock-up.

  2. Back off when her Fury is full

    Back off when her Fury is full: Furious Bite (E) then deals true damage.

  3. Save your CC for after her Rush

    If you have CC, save it for after Void Rush (R): she's untargetable first, then lunges at her target and can't be stopped.

  4. Destroy her tunnels

    Destroy every Tunnel (E) you find by standing on an entrance: it's a lasting path she reuses to escape or to gank.

  5. Stand still when you're hidden

    When hidden in a brush or the fog of war, stop moving if she's burrowed near you: Burrow (W) only reveals to her team unseen enemies who move.
