About Elise

Gameplay style

Elise is primarily played as an assassin/diver/mage, leveraging their ranged combat style to dominate in jungle. Since their release in Patch 1.0.0.150, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Elise's potential.

As a magical-focused champion who uses Mana to cast their abilities, Elise requires players to carefully manage their resources while positioning effectively to deal maximum damage. The champion's design makes them particularly effective against squishy targets like ADCs and mages, allowing for quick kills in fights.

Elise's story

Elise is a deadly predator who dwells in a shuttered, lightless palace, deep within the oldest city of Noxus. Once mortal, she was the mistress of a powerful house, but the bite of a vile demigod transformed her into something beautiful, yet utterly inhuman—a spider-like creature, drawing unsuspecting prey into her web. To maintain her eternal youth, Elise now prefers to feed upon the naive and the faithless, and there are few who can resist her seductions.
