For example Elise, do both her forms use magic or melee? What is exactly ability damage, is that just a way of saying magic damage or is it specifically to buff the abilities? It’s really confusing because I need to know if I’m buffing my primary shooting.

You typically don’t scale both.

Elise for example just wants ability power and most of her damage comes from abilities. It also happens to amp her spider form melee damage because that’s meant to be something she does while building AP.

Another AP champion like Syndra never has strong incentives to use basic attacks.
