Elise requires precise combo execution and form management to maximize her effectiveness. Her unique spider form abilities allow for versatile engage and disengage options, making her particularly strong against immobile champions. For optimal performance, coordinate with your ADC during early game trades and roaming opportunities.
When choosing Elise, consider your team composition and the enemy lineup. She excels in pick-oriented compositions and performs best when paired with ADCs who can follow up on her cocoon engage. Her strongest matchups are against squishy targets without reliable escape mechanisms.
The champion's success heavily depends on early game pressure and objective control. Focus on securing vision around objectives and looking for gank opportunities when your cocoon is available. Build paths should be adjusted based on team needs, but typically focus on ability power and penetration items for maximum impact.
