Elise, the Spider Queen Revealed!

Posted on at 6:00 PM by Seranaya
Turns out we won't have to wait much longer at all to find out just what makes Elise, the new champion teased earlier today, tick. Her official ability preview has been released and she is, indeed, the shapeshifter Morello has been talking about as of late.
Continue reading for a look at her creepy crawly kit and her shapeshifterific model.

Here is her kit and game play preview, complete with gooey little spiderlings, poisonous bites, and more transformation than you can shake a stick at.
"This patch, we’ll welcome a champion with a lot of history into the League of Legends lineup: Elise, the Spider Queen. Originally concepted over three years ago, Elise proved to be a challenging champion to fully realize. Finally coming together as a transform champion, Elise has the ability to assume the form of either a regal mage or a deadly spider assassin.


Abilities (Human form):
  • Spider Swarm (Passive): Elise’s Human Form spells will ready a spiderling when cast on an enemy.
  • Neurotoxin: Elise damages a target based on its current Health.
  • Volatile Spiderling: Elise releases a venom-gorged spiderling that explodes when it nears a target.
  • Cocoon: Elise fires a skillshot that stuns the first enemy struck.
  • Spider Form: Elise transforms into a menacing spider with new abilities. While in Spider Form, Elise deals magic bonus damage on attack and has increased Movement Speed, Armor, and Magic Resistance. Each level of her ultimate allows Elise to summon an additional spiderling.

Abilities (Spider Form):
  • Spider Swarm (Passive): Elise summons her spiderlings to fight by her side. Spiderlings deal physical damage and take reduced damage from multi-target abilities.
  • Venomous Bite: Elise lunges forward and bites her target, slowing them and dealing bonus damage based on how low its Health is.
  • Skittering Frenzy: Elise and her spiderlings gain Attack Speed and heal her on each attack.
  • Rappel:
    • On enemy cast: Elise and her spiderlings ascend high into the air and descend upon an enemy target.
    • On ground cast: Elise and her spiderlings ascend high into the air, becoming untargetable for two seconds. Casting Rappel on a nearby enemy during this time will descend upon your target.
  • Human Form: Elise transforms into a human form with new abilities. Each level of her ultimate allows Elise to summon an additional spiderling.

Like all transform champions, successfully playing Elise involves balancing two distinct kits. More than any of her counterparts, however, the Spider Queen’s two forms embody distinct, but complimentary roles. Unlike Jayce, whose kit emphasizes flowing smoothly between ranged and melee skillsets, or Nidalee, who uses her cougar mobility to split push and create distance for her long ranged attacks, Elise’s two ability sets separate definitively into mage and assassin roles.

In her human mage form, Elise specializes in keeping her distance using low-cooldown nukes and crowd control abilities. Her spells emphasize wearing down high-health targets in preparation for a brutal finish in spider form. At the heart of this gameplay is Neurotoxin which deals damage based on the opponent’s current health. While in this form, she also generates a spiderling each time she casts a spell. Upon transformation into a spider, she summons these spiderlings to fight alongside her. Investing the time to build up your minion count is essential to performing a perfect assassination.

Once she’s switched to her spider assassin form, Elise’s kit takes on an entirely different theme. She gains a number of bonuses to her melee capabilities, and her spiderlings become active to help rapidly damage an opponent. Using Rappel, she can ascend above the battlefield, vanishing from sight and becoming untargetable for a short duration. Once she’s suspended, she can lower herself upon a nearby target, surrounding them with spiderlings. Boosting her minions’ Attack Speed with Skittering Frenzy can quickly burst down a surrounded enemy, leaving them vulnerable to execution with ¬Venomous Bite.

Using both spider and human form effectively is the key to making the most out of the Spider Queen. Having the good judgment to stay safe in your mage form while you fight to create the opportunity for a clean spider kill will make or break your success on the Fields of Justice."

 For those of my fellow lore enthusiasts, here is her back story.
"Vicious and elegant, Elise's charismatic grace lures the innocent and greedy alike into her web of deceit. While her victims may discover her true intentions, no one has ever lived to reveal what dark secrets lie behind her enigmatic guise.

In dark halls, hidden from society, Elise preached the word of a mythical spider god. Her desperate followers hungered for the god's favor, believing its blessings to be the source of Elise's vibrance and power. When Elise proclaimed that she would lead a pilgrimage to the spider god's shrine, she selected only her most devout disciples to join her. Ecstatic, the chosen few followed her blindly as she led them on a perilous journey across the sea. When they came ashore at their final destination, the mysterious Shadow Isles, Elise led them to a cavern shrouded in webs. Expecting a shrine, the group looked to their priestess in confusion. She turned to the crowd and raised her arms in triumph, revealing strange, spiderlike legs that grew out of her back. Seeing her terrifying true form for the first time, Elise's followers turned to flee, but she conjured magical webs to trap them. With her victims ensnared, she turned to face the cave and uttered a screeching cry. An enormous undead spider-beast emerged from the darkness, dragging its hideous bulk on thick, pointed legs. Elise's followers could only scream as the monstrous spider ate them alive. She approached the sated creature, extracted its venom, and drank the strange substance. An immediate sense of rejuvenation flowed through her veins. With mortality delayed once again, Elise left to rejoin her congregation. They were overjoyed to hear that their fellows had chosen to remain at the spider god's sacred home. Elise reassured her disciples that she would lead another pilgrimage in due time. The spider god would be waiting.

"The truly faithful need not fear the spider's embrace." – Elise"

    2. Simply no because there is a Golem and there are no golems in Crystal Scar

    3. Rocket fox being owned, its most likely TTT since its fits its theme and its most old map (based on updates), so i'm betting my money on that and riot wouldn't just hide big maps like that .

    4. Looks like TT to me. Middle pic on the bottom row looks like inside the base, summoner platform on the top edge and the turret to the top rightish

  3. That does NOT look like Summoner's Rift. Is this possibly a new Shadow Isles map? The turret placement is nothing like Summoner's Rift has, and I dont think Twisted Treeline is like that either. Even if it was a reskin, it couldn't be SR.

    Wtf? Awesome!

    1. You know, every time someone says " Dur Hur dis champ look lihk X and Y champion mashed together" there gravely mistaken.

      Remember when everyone said Kha'Zix was the exact same as Rengar, then when he came out oh well holy shit hes completely different.

      Or Diana, "Huurrr Akali 2.0 wit shieldz" then after people saw the NA regionals with an akali mid dominating they all said she was better than diana.

  15. There's a double minion wave in the one picture. I don't think it's one of the current maps. Unless that happens in Dominion. I never play it.

  16. Everyone forgot about Twisted Treeline, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  17. well look were everthing is postioned i mainly play TT and the entrance's have never had that much space and golem has never been in a postion like that

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well at least she turns into a complete spider.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Like on the Champion Spotlights, minions are somewhere where they wouldn't normally be. That is probably what they did with this picture.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It's a remake of Twisted Treeline, apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  21. GUUUYYYS! is the TT map... is the new remake... :3 read and see it in the LoL page

  22. You know, if they had to make a new map I would prefer the Magma Chamber...

  23. It's a new Twisted Treeline map apparently. Looks fucking awesome, good job Riot.

  30. She looks bullshit OP. That Rappel is insane and Human Q deals more damage with more health, and Spider Q deals more damage with less health = high damage all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  31. So when does this update happen for PBE? I just checked and its not there yet

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm throwing money at my screen but nothing happens!

    Good lord, I want this champion so bad!
    I love playing mid and jungle, and it seems like this one would work great in both (and not be boring like Diana).

  34. Sooo.. her only skin, the death blossom one... is going to be added to one of the harrowing skins?...that's... kinda lame of Riot.

    ReplyDelete
  35. It is the new Twisted Treeline. Riot said they updated the walls. Making it where flashing over them isn't that big of an advantage, & fixed the anything that gave players an unfair advantage. It's an entire Twisted Treeline rework. Which honestly, looks so damn good. When I seen the spider boss I thought I was looking at a Dota 2/Diablo 3 screenshot until I seen Hecarim.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Good thing elise can turn into a spider but her human form shouldve been much more spiderlike, like the actual spiderqueen who looked like a centaur for as part as her humanside.

    ReplyDelete
  37. hmm...mostly dota 2 bloodmother steal ftw

    ReplyDelete
  38. another shapeshifter - RIOT PLZZZ GIVE ME MONEY FOR HER!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. meh her rappel ability is identical to one of arachne's abilities in smite.



    lol, smite
