Introduction Elise is typically known for her prowess in the jungle, but her veratility allows her to thrive in the mid lane as well. With her combination of burst damage, crowd control and mobility, she can be a potent Assassin .

Pros + Strong burst damage potential + High mobility with Rappel + Excellent crowd control with her Cocoon + Can snowball games effectively with early kills + Natural sustain in spider form because of Spider Queen

Cons - Somewhat reliant on hitting skillshots, especially her Cocoon - Squishy and vulnerable to high burst damage - Falls off in the late game compared to traditional mages - Mana hungry early on if abilities are spammed

Team Composition
Elise fits well into team compositions that need early game pressure and pick potential. She synergizes especially well with vhampions who can follow up on her crowd control and burst damage, such as assassins or bruisers.

IGNITE Ignite amplifies a champion's kill pressure by dealing true damage over time to enemy champions. Its added benefit of applying Grievous Wounds reduces the effectiveness of enemy healing, making it a potent choice against sustain-heavy compositions.
