How to beat Elise

Common role: Jungle

A shapeshifting assassin who stuns in human form and rappels in as a spider.

What makes Elise dangerous

Elise stuns you with a cocoon (human E) then transforms into a spider to leap in (spider E) and burst with % health damage, spawning spiderlings. She's a strong early ganker who snowballs off picks, using her stun-into-spider-leap combo to delete a target quickly.

How to play against Elise

• 1Dodge her human E cocoon — it's a stun skillshot and the setup for her whole combo. Stand behind minions and sidestep it.
• 2Without landing her stun she can't combo — deny the cocoon and her gank/pick fails.
• 3She's squishy — after she rappels in (spider E), hard CC or burst punishes her before she can rappel out.
• 4Track her early ganks — Elise wants to snowball. Ward and she loses her pick pressure into the mid-game.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Cocoon stun is a dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓Squishy — punish her after she rappels in.
• ✓Snowball-reliant; falls off if denied early.
• ✓No combo without landing her stun.
