How it works
Imperial Mandate Build specific
This build is all about Imperial Mandate.
And also all about slows.
You support through disrupting fights, being annoying, Slowing/Healing/Buffing and soaking damage.
How to play
Imperial Mandate Build specific
Your core items - Imperial Mandate and optionally Rylai's Crystal Scepter for even more slows (and consistency).
Your CC triggers Glacial Augument that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
Since LoL Patch 14.1 Imperial Mandate is changed. Now you need your team to proc it to deal any damage. So you need to play a little bit differently. Do not spam mindlessly. Try coordinating it with your team - when they are about to poke or when they go in.
Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Tips and Tricks
General
As Elise, you have your 'Ultimate' (Spider Form) since lvl 1. You can lose track of enemy levels and get surprised by their level 6 spike and their ulti. Watch out!
You can use your Volatile Spiderling (W) for bush control.
Elise Combo #1: cast Volatile Spiderling (W) in ANY direction. When you Venomous Bite (Q in Spider Form), spider will fly to your target and explode.
Riot
Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.
When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.
Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.
