Why it works
- Elise's cocoon. In human form, her E stuns the first enemy unit hit and reveals it if it isn't stealthed (range 1075).
- Ahri's charm. Her E throws a kiss that damages and charms the first enemy, canceling their movement abilities and making them walk toward her.
- Mobility. Ahri's R dashes up to three times and Elise's spider form gives her speed and new abilities.
- Continuous damage. Ahri's Q throws and recalls the orb (true damage on return).
Weak points: Assassins and champions that dodge the controls; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
