How powerful is Elise?

Vilemaw is a spider god and that's canon atm. He's super duper strong and stuff. We know that their are now other gods and stuff like Ornn, Anivia and Volibear and we know that their roots trace back really far. I think we can assume that Vilemaw's history also traces really far back and that he has the similar powers to Ornn, Anivia, and all them god people.

So far I can imagine Elise being able to take bubble paths in acid and stuff because she survived Vilemaw's poison but that's all I got. I wonder how strong physically she is and how strong her spiders are. We already know she has fierce magicks and stuff.

Technically, her beauty is a weapon even when she was a normal human, now she lures people before feeding on them, so she is attractive by herself, she's kind of a succubus but not really one. It's not part of her power given by Vilemaw, it's part of her.

Elise now can shapeshift into a giant venomous spider, and can have spiderlings, Vilemaw is not considered as a female, and in french it's considered as "he", a male. I'm not sure if male spiders can lay eggs, but I'm pretty sure that Elise is the one who gave birth to them, how ? I don't know, she's a mammal AND a spider, so let's assume that she can do both, even if she is 300 years old.

She is technically immortal, and can live hundreds and thousands of years if she continues to feed on people.

Her powers are limited, she's not like Veigar, Syndra or Zyra, the only things she can do is spider stuff and summoning spiders, she uses venom as a weapon, and her babies too !

Elise is the silent sexy femme fatale assassin, she is powerful but not as much as Lissandra or Malzahar in reality for example, I'm sure she can kill pretty much half of the champions in the game but still

Not too sure, lore doesn't suggest much about her besides potentially being in a "fountain of youth" state each time she fulfills her duty (basically resets her mortality).

We don't hear anything about her power or her spider form in the lore, its safe to assume going by lore the spiders are simply doing what vilemaw makes them do and they're ignoring Elise and Elise is just another pawn of the black rose. In-game however she acts and players like she's a goddess herself and in full control of spiders and shape shifting spells.

I really wish we get a lore event for shadow isles with short stories for harrorwing this year also the Evelynn rework would fir perfectly for Harrowring the same as they did with Elise released her for Halloween.Now we don't know much about Elise's strength.

What makes you think Vilemaw is on-par with Ornn and Anivia? I never got the idea he was anything more than an old giant spider.

It is worth noting that there is no mention of Elise shape shifting in the lore. This may be an in-game only ability. However Elise can control spiderlings and has a mesmer similar to Ahri.

She'd likely be upper middle class based on the natural strengths we know of spiders, a bit of magic, and her cunning/charm.

Dangerous but not a catastrophic tier.
