Support Elise Build

General

1. You're a healer, Harry.
2. Even though Elise is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
• Heal summoner spell.
• Guardian and Font of Life runes.
• Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.

General

1. Your first rush is Redemption.
2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE), Moonstone Renewer (sustain).
3. Also, Echoes of Helia is pretty good because you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (slow/cc).
4. Rush second Locket if your team already doing teamfights or when an enemy team has champions with super aoe damage (example: like Fiddle's ult). Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2. The third item should be whatever you did not buy - Locket of the Iron Solari or Moonstone Renewer. That's your core.
5. Another decent item if you have carry/strong bruiser/strong tank is Knight's Vow.
6. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown. With Moonstone Renewer, ideally there should be at least two people for maximum healing effect.
7. Later in the game, for maximum support - you can sell boots for sixth item.
8. You can get items like Ardent Censer (some auto attackers needed) or Staff of Flowing Water. It will be triggered often enough that it will be worth.
9. Interesting item is Cryptbloom. If you want to go full healing, you can get it like #4+ item.

Runes

1. With Cosmic Insight rune from Inspiration tree:
• Redemption and Locked of the Iron Solari has 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
• Shurelya's Battlesong has 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
2. Guardian is important rune. It is going to provide tons of shielding. Remember that you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
• You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
3. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
4. Font of Life total healing is not properly calculated in a post-game lobby. Value is bigger in the game vs. what's displayed in statistics. You heal more!
5. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight, it reduces cooldown for your active items (so more heals/shielding) and Heal summoner spell.

Redemption

1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown, when your allies are missing some health. It is best to use when they are grouped. Especially if you already have Moonstone Renewer, it is best to wait (or ping) until they group together, so you can have them all healed.
2. Remember that you can use Redemption for the damage. However, in general, it is not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
3. Be careful when using Redemption while you are dead, and you are about to be respawned. The camera will go to your position, and you can cast it in the spawning pool by mistake. Watch out for bad timing!

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.
