How to play it
DO
Body-block her E
She only has CC in human form — keep a dog between you and her so the cocoon can't land.
Punish her escape
When she's caught out, collapse under the center of her spider drop so she can't rappel to safety.
Never fight low
Both forms have instant click-on damage — never fight her low, one click mid-W flight kills you.
DON'T
Never fight Elise at low HP — she only needs to click you once and you're dead.
