How it works

General

  1. You play as Mage building Burn items.
  2. You rush Liandry's Torment.
  3. You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Burn Elise build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
  4. In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
  5. They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
  6. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
  7. If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. As Elise, you have your 'Ultimate' Spider Form (R) since lvl 1. You can lose track of enemy levels and get surprised by their level 6 spike and their ultimate. Watch out!
  2. You can use your Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy (W) for bush control.
  3. Elise Combo #1: cast Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy (W) in ANY direction. When you Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite (Q) (Q in Spider Form), spider will fly to your target and explode.
  4. You can block enemy skillshots with your spiders! See a skillshot going your way? Just turn around and enter Spider Form (given you have any spiders)!

Human and Spider Form interactions

  1. Elise is treated as melee in Spider Form and as ranged in Human Form. That means there are interactions with certain runes and items. Examples below.
  2. Grasp of the Undying - If you want to deal more damage, get more Health and heal for more with Grasp of the Undying - when auto from ranged, switch to melee (when animation is mid-flight)!
  3. First Strike - If you play Elise with First Strike rune, if you fire Human Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy (W) and change to Spider Form, you actually get the melee gold. This way you can farm and earn additional gold per minute by syncing W with First Strike.

  4. Hubris - if you score a takedown when in Spider Form, you get more Attack Damage (melee effect), than you would get in Human Form.

Riot

  1. Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.
  2. When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.
  3. Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.
