Sylas and Elise, Nid, Etc
Hello, I am wondering what will happen if Sylas casts his ult on spider / couger form.
Since the ult of these forms is to turn into the human forms, will Sylas turn into Human Elise, Nid, etc?
Thanks!

This is not so much about Elise as it is about Sylas, but its worth mentioning so we can get a better understanding what happens if we play Elise into the matchup (or with the intention of picking Sylas into an Elise matchup)
When Sylas uses his ultimate on Elise his ultimate changes to "Spider Form"
Casting "Spider Form" will transform him into a spider, gaining Venomous Bite, Skittering Frenzy, Rappel, and Human Form, but he will not have Elise's passive (so no bonus magic damage, spiderlings, or healing).
While transformed he will have access to his passive (basically nocturne passive without the heal after you use an ability), and each of Spider Form's abilities will proc it.
Casting "Human Form" will turn him back into Sylas, regaining his kit. He cannot ever become Elise's Human Form. He can stay in this Spider Form for as long as he pleases, but whenever his time cap for holding onto ults runs out he will be reverted out of Spider Form. (its a very long time actually, you could probably play out the rest of lane phase in spider form if you wanted)
Additional notes
Mechanically speaking, this works the same for Nidalee and Jayce (for jayce consider his hammer stance human form)
Used Sylas Ultimate with the Lunar Revel skin on a Victorious Elise, Spider form used the Death Blossom Model (?)
