Guide to Countering Amumu as Elise

Tips for Playing as Elise against Amumu

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

Advice to Win Against Amumu

Amumu's Despair makes purchasing primarily Health items a risky proposition.

Erratic movement, or hiding behind creep waves can make it difficult for Amumu to instigate a fight with Bandage Toss.

Avoid bunching up with other allies when Amumu has his ultimate available.
