Elise Starseeker

The Cartographer

"Do you have the artifact?"

Known to most by her code name, The Cartographer, the mysterious Elise Starseeker is the mastermind behind countless successful League operations. She has been on hundreds of League expeditions, she's created a huge catalog of maps and charts, she loves navigation and cartography, but her biggest joy is locating ancient artifacts, that are so old that they are just whispered about in taverns. Now she brings her worldly expertise to the Nexus, determined to uncover the secrets of the Nexus and bring her team to victory.

Elise is a ranged specialist armed with her trusty whip that focuses on roaming, map control and vision. Her abilities allow her to blaze the trail for her teammates and prepare the field for a guaranteed victory. Tactical and cunning, Elise knows that, like a successful delve, a successful fight requires thorough planning. But while dodging enemies and traps, she must also focus on her trait, allowing her to gain great power later in the game.

Combat Trait

1
Search for the Golden Monkey
Every few seconds, an artifact will appear on the battlefield that is visible only to Elise. Artifacts can be seen through the fog of war and bushes, but will not be marked on the minimap. Artifacts will only spawn in the middle of the battlefield, never behind or beyond the first wall of each team. Only one artifact (per Elise) may be present on the map at the same time. After 30 seconds, artifacts will switch locations.

Quest: Collecting an artifact gives Elise an additional 2% health and health regeneration. Elise loses 3 artifacts upon death.

Reward: Collecting 20 artifacts will grant Elise her heroic ability, the Golden Monkey, regardless of level. Going below 20 artifacts will remove your Heroic.
