Tips for Playing as Rek'Sai against Elise

Keeping tunnels spread out across the map will ensure you have choices when you want to cast Void Rush.

Cast Burrow before travelling around the map to take advantage of the increased Move Speed and the safety provided by Tremor Sense.

Tremor Sense can warn you of enemies closing in, and is particularly useful when entering enemy territory.

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.
