Elise: pass Scout and stacking keywords to Spiderlings

Elise · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14

Attack once with Elise to transfer keywords, then let the Spiderlings carry the damage. Includes a rare-only alternative.

Build

Needs 3★Champion level 30

Overview

Elise is an attack-trigger engine for Spiderling. Players disagree about keeping her alive, but many prefer an early Scout attack and handing the game to the spiders. The usual loadout is her signature, the Scout relic and additional champion copies.

The build

Queen's Embrace

Spirit, Impact, Evolve.
Power: Fearsome allies can only be blocked by units with 5+ Power.

The signature starts Elise with stacking keywords and Evolve, which her three-star attack trigger can spread to Spiderlings.

Galeforce

Scout. Round End: Shuffle me into your deck.

Scout permits an extra attack sequence. The shuffle into the deck at Round End removes Elise. Keep another copy or draw access if the spider army needs a later champion entry.

Echoing Spirit

Game Start: Create 7 copies of me in deck. Champion Spells cost 1 less.

Extra copies reduce dependence on the first draw and improve access to another champion after the round-end shuffle.

How to play

Play Elise and lead with a Scout attack before including non-Scout attackers. Her attack creates a spider, and the three-star power grants Spiderlings Everywhere the positive keywords of allied champions. Use the restored attack token with a wider board.

You do not need to keep Elise alive indefinitely once she has passed the useful keywords. The spider army is the payoff: spending several turns just to keep her on board can delay the finish. Playing another copy after the relic shuffles her into the deck gives another opportunity to spread keywords.

Drafting and alternatives

With rare relics only, run Galeforce, Dreams Of Yordles and Troll King's Crown. Others prefer Fear-Cleaving Axe for stacking keywords or Black Shield for protection. These are alternative plans: some players prefer protection over Scout.

For difficult adventures, Galeforce, Dreams Of Yordles and Fear-Cleaving Axe is a strong pick; Spirit of the Buhru or Voidborne Carapace can replace the third. These emphasize stacking and transferring useful keywords. A cheap support champion can supply keywords when Elise is not drawn.

Prioritize the first safe attack and enough Spiderlings to exploit the transferred keywords. Scout restores an attack token only through the Scout attack rules; it does not grant unlimited attacks every time another spider is summoned.

Star-power checkpoint

Spider Queen II

When allies attack, grant allied Spiderling Everywhere +1|+0 and the positive keyword of allied champions.
