Elise Build 26.22

It all hangs on one skillshot for Elise, her human-form cocoon. Land the stun and she swaps to spider form, leaps onto the target with Rappel, and finishes them with a bite that hits harder the lower their health drops. Whiff the cocoon and the target simply walks away, leaving her to chip with spiderlings while it comes back up. She sits A situational pick at 49.1% and on the way down this patch, a champion who is only ever as good as her aim on that stun.

When Is Elise Strongest?

The front half of the game is the strong stretch, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Elise's win condition is early tempo, so spend the strong window ganking hard, converting picks into objectives, and snowballing her lead before enemies build enough health to survive her spider dive.

Elise Item Build

Elise is an ability power jungler who shifts between a ranged caster and a diving spider, so the build stacks ability power and haste to make both her human poke and her spider burst hit hard. The items are meant to spike her early ganks so she can snowball the map before durability starts to matter.

Best Elise Runes

Dark Harvest is the standard keystone. However her page reads, the trigger is the same, land the cocoon and the free damage window that follows sets off the rune while the target sits stunned and helpless. It all comes back to hitting that one skillshot.

Build toward Lich Bane into Shadowflame to give her burst the punch it needs to actually secure kills. The power is up front, so snowball while the lead is fresh. Once Shadowflame is up by roughly 20 minutes, her cocoon into spider-form dive takes a healthy target from full to dead in a single rotation. Time your engages around that spike, because a fed Elise ends fights before they properly begin.

Elise Skill Order

Every point before six goes into an ability that has a spider version waiting behind it. Spider Form at six is the real unlock, because Rappel and Skittering Frenzy arrive at once with three ranks of Neurotoxin already banked.

Elise Abilities

Every ability she lands in human form stocks a dormant Spiderling through Spider Queen, so the swarm that chews on people later is a byproduct of her poke. Volatile Spiderling lobs one out to explode near a target, and its spider form gives her and the spiderlings attack speed.

Elise Matchups

Elise wants to land her human-form stun and drop onto a low target as a spider, so mobile duelists who dodge the cocoon and tanks she cannot execute give her the hardest time. Squishy laners with no dash who fold to a single gank are exactly what her spider dive is built to punish.

She has a hard time against Xin Zhao, Lillia, and Shyvana, mobile targets who can dodge the cocoon or out-range her before she gets to commit. Without the stun landing, her whole combo falls apart. Into Master Yi, Diana, and Nocturne she thrives, locking them down and executing through their health bar with the spider bite, so prioritize hunting those matchups and turning an early lead into map control.
