Elise Tips and Tricks

You can use your E to jump over the Baron and Dragon pits when attempting to steal an objective. Be sure to check for enemy vision first to avoid getting spotted. When looking for a stun, try to get as close as possible before using your E, as the farther you are, the easier it is for opponents to dodge. While clearing camps, always start in human form. Use your Q and W first, then switch to spider form to quickly finish off the camp.

Best Elise Builds, Runes, and Items for Jungle

Most Popular

For an effective jungle setup, Flash and Smite are the best Summoner Spells. The recommended rune page consists of Dark Harvest as the keystone, followed by Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter in the primary tree, with Coup de Grace and Triumph in the secondary tree. Rune shards should include Attack Speed in offense, Adaptive Force in flex, and Health Scaling in defense, though these can be adjusted based on matchups. The optimal item path starts with Stormsurge, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame. The final three items include Zhonya's Hourglass, Void Staff, and Banshee's Veil. The best ability max order is Q - W - E.

Optional

Another solid build also utilizes Flash and Smite, but with Electrocute as the keystone instead. The primary tree remains the same with Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter, but the secondary tree swaps to Nimbus Cloak and Waterwalking for better mobility. The rune shards remain Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. The item order starts with Stormsurge, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame, then finishing with Zhonya's Hourglass, Void Staff, and Rabadon's Deathcap. The recommended ability order is Q - W - E.

Alternative

A different approach includes Flash and Smite alongside Dark Harvest, Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter in the primary rune tree, with Coup de Grace and Triumph in the secondary tree. Rune shards should remain Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. The item build starts with Lich Bane, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame, then finishing with Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Banshee's Veil. The best ability order remains Q - W - E.

Off-Meta

For a more unconventional playstyle, Flash and Smite remain the Summoner Spells of choice. The rune setup uses Dark Harvest, Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter in the primary tree, with Coup de Grace and Triumph in the secondary tree. Rune shards should include Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. This build starts with Liandry's Torment, followed by Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame. The final three items are Void Staff, Banshee's Veil, and Stormsurge. The ability max order is Q - W - E.

Situational Elise Runes and Items

Adjustments to runes and items may be necessary depending on the game state, enemy team composition, and your specific matchup. If facing a high-physical damage team, consider taking Armor as a defensive rune shard, while against heavy magic damage, Magic Resist may be more beneficial. Itemization should also be adapted accordingly to counter enemy threats and maximize Elise’s impact in the game.
