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 Renata Glasc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Handshake (Q) roots the first enemy hit, then can throw them into their allies.

  2. 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.

  3. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Renata: her kit has no dash to escape.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
