9/21/0 masteries. Elise is an AP bruiser with high base damage and low scaling, so she benefits greatly from tankiness, CDR, and MPen. 9 points in offense helps her CDR, mpen, and ignite, and 21 points in defense giver her a lot of tankiness.

Runes:

mpen reds

armor yellows (use health/level if facing an AP top)

MR/level blues (use flat MR if facing an AP top)

Mpen quints for maximum magic penetration. If you don't need more Mpen, MS quints are good too

Items - you want to start with MPen build, so sorc boots/haunting guise/abyssal scepter is core. After that, go tanky + AP:

Rylai's for more health

frozen heart/zhonya's for more armor

athene's for more MR

rabadon's for more damage
