It's extremely squishy and at the moment, a squishy Elise = a bad Elise. She has the stat of a mage, and has to perform the role of frontliner, so don't ever building mage (with a tiny bit of tank stat) and expect to succeed.

The build is not new either. It was basically Elise top build in early S3 (minus Nashor, as it has always been a bad item on her no matter how you look at it). Once Riot took away free tank stats in spider form, the build had become obsolete and limited to "only build like this if you're fed" status.

Anther note: rushing Liandry is terrible. Build guise, leave it till late game. Spending about 1500 gold to get a bit more AP (on a mediocre scaling champ) plus an useless early game passive is a total waste.
