Introducing: Elise, the Spider Queen

We think that Elise will be free to play on Tuesday, so we wanted to release the build for her. Look it closely up because this is not what you will expect to play with Elise.



Elise is AP based champion who has two forms, a human form, where she is a ranged caster, and a spider form, where she is melee fighter.

Advantages of playing Elise are that she has constant damage, stuns, gap closing skills and she can become invulnerable. Disadvantage, though, is that she is pretty squishy champion. She's also not easy to play.

She can be played various ways. She can be played as AP or AD lane / jungle champion, as a support, as a tank, well you name it and she can do it. Today, we will show you only one build that is only used by our staff, one build we've had hard time to discover. The one most craziest, proved the best!

Summoner spells:

Flash - Even though Elise has some form of gap reducing abilities, flash can be used as a gap making spell.

Ignite - This will help you finish off your target easier.

Note of caution: We will not talk about carrying other summoner spells because we feel that they are irrelevant for Elise. You can only take Smite instead of Ignite if you will going to jungle with her.

Skills:

Spider Swarm (Passive) Innate: When Elise's Human Form spells hit an enemy, she readies a Spiderling. When Elise transforms, she summons Spiderlings to attack nearby foes. The maximum number of spiderlings increases with Spider Form's level.
Spiderling Health: 100 + (25*level)
Spiderling Attack Speed: 0.665
Spiderling Armor: 30
Spiderling Magic Resistance: 50
Spiderling Movement Speed: 370

Explanation: Spiderlings are important so spend time casting in your human form to ready up your spiderlings for the battle. When in team battles, if they somehow die, switch to human form, fire up all the skills, and then go back to spider form. Spider form is really important in team fights, but Human form is more important in one vs one.

Neurotoxin/Venomous Bite Active: Deals magic damage equal to a base amount plus a percentage of the target's current health. Damage is capped against monsters.
Cost: 60 mana
Cooldown: 6 seconds
Active: Elise lunges to a target with a poisonous bite that deals magic damage equal to a base amount plus a percentage of the target's missing health. Damage is capped against monsters.
No cost:
Cooldown: 6 seconds

Base Magic Damage: 50/95/140/185/230
Bonus Damage: 8/% of target's current health/ (+0.02 per ability power)
Maximum Bonus Damage vs. Monsters: 60/120/180/240/300
Base Magic Damage: 50/95/140/185/230
Bonus Damage: 8% of target's missing health (+0.02 per ability power)
Maximum Bonus Damage vs. Monsters: 60/120/180/240/300

Explanation: Use it whenever possible. In spider form use it to reduce the gap between you and your target, and in human form use it to damage enemy from the safe distance. This is your strongest spell so pick it early on and max it first.

Volatile Spiderling/Skittering Frenzy Active: Summons a venom-gorged Spiderling that moves to target location and explodes, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies when it nears an enemy unit or after 3 seconds.
Cooldown: 12 seconds
Passive: Spiderlings gain bonus attack speed.
Active: Increases the attack speed of Elise and her Spiderlings for 3 seconds. While active, Elise is healed when she or her spiderlings attack.
No cost:

Cooldown: 12 seconds
Heal: 4

Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 mana
Magic Damage: 75/125/175/225/275 (+0.8 per ability power)
(+0.02 per ability power):
Spiderling Attack Speed: 5/10/15/20/25 %
Bonus Attack Speed: 60/80/100/120/140 %

Explanation: This spell gives you attack speed in spider form or sends a spider that will explode on first enemy it encounters. This is good spell for team fights as it provides you and your spiderlings greater attack speed which will deal more damage to the enemies. Take first point on level 2, but max it lastly.

Cocoon/Rappel Active: Elise fires a web that stuns the first enemy hit for 1.5 seconds.
Cost: 65 mana
Range: 975
Active (On enemy cast): Elise and her Spiderlings lift up into the air and then descend upon the target enemy.
Active (On ground cast): Elise and her Spiderlings lift up into the air, becoming untargetable for 2 seconds. She can then cast Rappel again to descend upon a nearby enemy.
No cost:

Range: 975

Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds
Cooldown: 26/24/22/20/18 seconds

Explanation: This is the spell that provides you with stun in human form and invulnerability or gap closing skill in spider form. When you are targeted and out of cooldown, use this spell in spider form to become invulnerable, so you can try and do something later. In spider form use it also to catch up either your target or to juke enemies by jumping on their minion behind their backs. In human form use it to stun the enemy and kill it easily. Max it secondly, but pick first level of it on the third level.

Spider Form/Human Form Active: Elise transforms into a menacing spider, granting access to arachnid abilities. While in Spider Form, Elise deals bonus magic damage with her autoattacks and gains 10 movement speed as well as bonus armor and magic resistance.
Spiderlings deal physical damage and take reduced damage from multi-target abilities. The maximum number of Spiderlings is increased with Spider Form's level.
No cost:

Cooldown: 4 seconds
Active: Elise transforms into her human form, granting access to regular abilities.

Maximum Number of Spiderlings: 2/3/4/5
Spiderling Damage: 10/20/30/40 (+0.1 per ability power)
Spiderling Damage Reduction: 10/20/30/40 %

Explanation: This is the spell that you gain on level one and you should upgrade it whenever possible.

Build:

Start:


Boots of Speed, 3 health potion

Start this cause you could use mobility early on.

Early game goals:


Aegis of Legion

We said this will be the strange build. You should build Elise more tanky and as a support than solely AP based champion.


Blasting Wand

OK, you could use a bit of AP now. This will be enough for some time.



Sorcerer's Shoes

To gain more AP damage, since you won't be building it, get these shoes.

Middle game goals:


Frozen Heart

Get Frozen Heart to obtain more armor, to get cooldown reduction and more mana.


Rylai's Crystal Scepter

Now, build health and AP. This item will help you with it. You will be even more stronger thanks to this item.


Abyssal's Scepter

This item will give you even more AP and magical resistance. Furthermore, it will make you a stronger assassin and you won't need more AP and magic "penetration" furthermore.

Deciding on the sixth item (situational):

Note: You already have solid armor, magic resistance and health, but you should build it even more. To do that, we recommend one of the items below.


Randui's Omen

If none of your teammates buy this item and you have problems with enemy AD carry, go for this item as quickly as possible.


Sunfire Cape

You want to be able to enter a fight against many enemies and deal all of them damage? You want armor and health? This is the great item to obtain then.


Wit's End

This is not bad item to get since it gives magic resistance and attack speed. This is one of the most recommendable situational item to get.


Guardian Angel

If you are still dying too much, go for Guardian Angel.


Banshee's Veil

Go for this item if enemies have annoying AP caster and you want more magical resistance, health and mana. Not bad choice to get in the late game.

Tips & Tricks:

Elise is a type of a champion who you need to realize for yourself. We cannot tell you anything, what to do, because this is something you need to discover. Depending on what kind of player you are there are more than dozen solutions to play with her and it would take us ages to write everything.

We only recommend you that you should not jungle with the given build above.

With this build you'll be owning enemies, be strong and you won't be able to die easily.

We hope you liked this build! Share your comments with us!

We wish you all the best!
