Playing as Elise
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Renata Glasc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.
- Step up after a missed Handshake
Step up when Handshake (Q) misses you: it's her only root, with a 16-second cooldown at every rank.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.
- Spread out from your carries
Spread out from your allies when she casts Hostile Takeover (R): berserk, you attack the nearest unit, your allies first.
- Don't hand them a kill
When an enemy survives thanks to Bailout (W), back off rather than offer a kill: they lose their health over 3 seconds, and only a takedown saves them.
