1 Spiderling, a Spider card

“	▶️   "Stay away from my pets!"
	— 2Elise

Spider is a subtype unique to a small set of Noxus and Shadow Isles cards.

The Spider cards are thematically associated with the spiders from 2Elise.

Strategy

• Most spider cards share the keyword Fearsome. Exceptions are 5 Arachnoid Host, 3 Arachnoid Sentry, 2 House Spider and 1 Spiderling.
  • All spiders gain Fearsome when 2Spider Queen Elise is on the board.
• Spiders are often used in "Zoo" or Aggro decks which seek to quickly build up a board of spiders, then buff them.
  • 3 Frenzied Skitterer, 6 Brood Awakening, 5 Arachnoid Host, 2 Brothers' Bond, 3 Might, and other Noxian cards can provide strong attack buffs.
  • Direct Damage such as 6 Decimate can be used to close out games.
• In Control decks, 1 Spiderlings generated by 2 Vile Feast or 1 Hapless Aristocrat can serve as chump blockers (if the enemy does not have Overwhelm or Fearsome).

Trivia

• The Fearsome keyword on the cards is likely based on Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders.
• The Noxian cards are all from Elise's mansion, while the Shadow Isles cards are presumably close to Vilemaw's Lair.
  • An interesting case is 3 Frenzied Skitterer, with the altar and region indicating it is on the Shadow Isles, but the flavor text seems to be in Noxus.
  • This shows that Elise brought some of her "pets" from the Shadow Isles back to Noxus with her.
