How to play Elise?
Elise is an assassin with a very strong pressure on the map at the beginning of the game, which makes her a very good jungler.
- Level 1: You will start with your Blue Sentinel to be able to have mana regeneration and the recovery time reduction necessary to your survival. Thanks to your W - Volatile Spiderling (Human Form) and W - Skittering Frenzy (Spider Form), you will be able to simply make your camps without losing too many hit points.
- Level 2: You will quickly reach your level 3, by attacking the weak camps, the Red Brambleback and the Rift Scuttlers.
- Level 3: Now that you have your three spells, you can gank easily thanks to your E - Cocoon to stun an unsuspecting opponent.
From level 3, Elise is difficult to challenge in terms of ganks, but remains very fragile in case of combat with the opposing jungler. Always keep a balance between gank and farm to avoid being dominated.
