Guide to Synergizing Malzahar and Elise

Tips for Playing as Malzahar with Elise

Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.

Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.

Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.

Advice to Understand How Elise Will Play

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.

This proves that there is a weak synergy between Malzahar and Elise that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Elise has a greater difficulty than Malzahar. That means Malzahar players need to be very careful when arranging Elise allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.
