I will be using a lot of abbreviations through out this guide so to make sure you know them I added this little slot, here they are:
AP= Ability Power
AD= Attack Damage
OP= Over Powered
MIA= Missing In Action

Elise is a very very hard champ to play. Though if you know how to combine her abilities (If you don't know how to i'll be talking about how to use Elise s abilities later in the guide) she is actually really op.

Elise is, I have to say a really bad farmer. She takes a while to get leveled unless your in mid. So before you gank while your jungling or in regular mia ganking, your gonna want adleast thirty Minion kills. That will boost you up to adleast level 7. Though if you are gonna be playing Elise when ever there is a good chance to get a couple minion kills, just go for it.

The first set of runes are the AP type runes

For the masteries for Elise I have three diffrent types. First one are the AP masteries. [http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/mastery-tree-planner#&tree1=1-0-4-0-0-4-0-0-0-1-3-0-0-4-0-3-1&tree2=0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0&tree3=0-3-3-0-0-2-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0&v=2]

Again there is three types of Elise builds i have on here. I'll explain to you why i chose these items. First item list is the AP
