Elise Support Guide: Master The Spider Queen in Bot Lane
Spider Form Q > Mark of the Spider > Skittering Frenzy > Spider Form E/Rappel Human Form Q > Neurotoxin > Volatile Spiderling > Human Form E/Cocoon
Elise Support is an unconventional pick that excels at aggressive play and catch potential. Her unique ability to switch between human and spider forms makes her a versatile threat in the support role.
Core Strategy:
- Start with Q against enchanters for poke
- Start with E against engage supports to counter all-ins
- Always secure Q and E by level 2
- Maximize Q first for damage
- Choose between W (snowball) or E (utility) max second
Key Mechanics:
- Spider Form E (Rappel) Usage:
- Click ground nearby to hover longer
- Click enemy directly for quick engagement
- Use to dodge important abilities
- Can interrupt enemy engage attempts
Build Path: Focus on AP and magic penetration for maximum impact:
- Spellthief's Edge as starting item
- Sorcerer's Shoes for early magic pen
- Liandry's Torment or Night Harvester as mythic
- Shadowflame for additional penetration
- Void Staff against MR-heavy teams
Laning Phase:
- Look for cocoon (E) opportunities to set up kills
- Use human form for poke and spider form for all-ins
- Coordinate with ADC for maximum pressure
- Save Rappel for defensive plays or tower dives
Tips:
- Practice form switching to maximize damage output
- Use spider form for execute damage
- Position aggressively but smart
- Roam to mid when possible for additional pressure
Remember that Elise support requires significant practice to master but can be extremely rewarding when played correctly.
