Elise Item Build

ON-HIT LOADOUT · ELISE

Elise pins the first target caught by Cocoon / Rappel, then changes form and turns remaining health into the terms of the fight. Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite pressures healthy targets before lunging at wounded ones, while Spider Swarm brings readied Spiderlings into the attack. These builds preserve her earlier kit.

On-Hit Elise makes Spider Form attacks the center of the variant, with Abyssal Scepter, Haunting Guise, Wit's End, and Nashor's Tooth leading into Frozen Heart across the five-item core. Q before W keeps Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite ahead of Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy, matching a build that stays engaged through both forms.

On-Hit Elise Build

On-Hit

Elise carries two builds that both take Sorcerer's Shoes and then stop agreeing. The On-Hit page leans on Wit's End and Nashor's Tooth so Spider Form has something to do between casts, with Haunting Guise and Abyssal Scepter carrying the magic penetration and Frozen Heart covering the approach. The AP page ignores the attack entirely and stacks Rod of Ages, Rabadon's Deathcap and Rylai's Crystal Scepter behind Neurotoxin. Abyssal Scepter is the only item they share. Spider Swarm makes the on-hit version more defensible than it first looks, since the spiderlings attack whether she is attacking or not.

AP Elise Build

AP
AP Elise puts ability power at the center of the setup, favoring health-based spell damage when you want the build's casts to do the work.

Rod of Ages opens the five-item core, with Rabadon's Deathcap following before the remaining purchases complete the archived order. Neurotoxin (Q) deals damage based on how high the target's Health is, and prioritizing Q before W and E keeps that pattern at the front of the rotation.
