Guide to Countering Elise as K'Sante

Tips for Playing as K'Sante against Elise

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Advice to Win Against Elise

Rappel has a long cooldown. Elise is vulnerable after she has used it.

Elise's Spider Form is more dangerous when you are at low health, and her Human Form more potent when you are at high health.

Rappel will only move Elise straight up and down unless she can descend upon an enemy unit.
