| Author | Is it just me or are Dark Elves appallingly bad? |
|---|
As a newbie I chose the Dark Elf race, only to discover that it is vitually impossible to win a duel against other L1 races. There seems to be an imbalance at this level.
I've tried everything, all kinds of strategies & stacks, but most opponents do vitually nothing strategic except basic shoot at me or beat me up with their vastly superior troops :(
So what am I missing? The rogue darts in to attack but gets hammered by counterstrokes. The earth spike spell does nothing against 20 stacks. The bandits may aswell be carrying pea shooters. My character attack does a mighty 3 damage. Help! |
Maybe you should split your Rogues and have some single stacks to take retal?
Each faction has some levels they do better at and some they dont do so well at but it all balances out over time. |
[TRY]
-Recruit more troop at recruiting page
-Wear artifact (Wooden Sword and Shield)
-Think a better strategy |
Do u know about free hit strategy? DE units are very fast!
split bandits 1-1-1 stacks and hit opponents with them (take retail) before your rogues hit them (no ret!)
Necros can be killed very easy for example, barbarians also |

Good. Don't play duel. You should be doing hunts and enrolling to get money. |
| Just do hunting till level 5 .. and van of wizards |
bandits are pretty pathetic but rogues are awesome
deathisnear's advice is right, have single unit stacks of rogues to take retaliation |
| You will be okay at lvl 3 when you get Minotaurs. |
| DE are bad at lvl 1 and 2, from lvl 3 onwards, u should be able to win duels easily. |
| You are not using your rogues high speed, initiative, and hit and return abilities well. Like a few people said you should think about splitting your rogues or bandits to have stacks of one. This way you can take off the retaliation and for example, zombies, you can hit 3 times easily before they move again. Also bandits are strange that their melee attack is far stronger than shooting so think about moving your bandits up. It's nothing big if you lose them since rogues are where your true power is. When you get minotaurs at lvl3 you will be able to take some hits dead on. |
I got an idea,in my other multi which i lost,:

Was a d.e,Dark Elve.Now Elf
If u realize,any faction with shooters will probably target rouges first or second,right?
At lvl 3,10 rouges,13 minotours(recruit).
rouges for retal minotours for the kill.
this way they still target 5 rouges,leaving the 1 rouges to be.
WITHOUT killing em.
I also did a few amazing tricks against a necro,i killed 3 necros in lvl 1:P
2 knights lvl 1:P 5 elf lvl 2:P
My strategy was,max rouges,split bandits.
although heroes damage comes from spikes...
u see how necros always split skeles to 1?
spkite them.end of THEIR retal.
then if u get a chance,hit a large stack of skeles,before zombie.
Use bandit to SHIFT+CLICK hit zombie and during hes not retal block him with bandits while hitting it.
leave a space for rouge,and come attack.
after he raise,if u had killed demons before...
He'd be that easy.(note:this only works on slow creatures,zombies,golems etc).
I have no strategy to fight fast ones.
Retal is after u hit a creature it hits back dont it?
We'll thats what retal is for use minor creatures to take retal.
at lvl 3 always go after zombies.
I think ive said eneough,bye bye.
Oh wait,
My character needs help.
I cant login my pass.

OK bye bye now. |
Hi.
sorry there is a huge misunderstanding...
i changed my pass without knowing it. |
hey i m a dark elf and had the same problem
lvl 1 is not bad u just ggota use rogues wisely and split the bandits to take
reatl and when u reach lvl 3 u r going to be litrally undefeatable bcz of the minos but u got a work hard for that i know how tuff was it to increase lvl
u cand do it and get best of artifacts u can have then onloy u will win
use the spikes when more creatures are there
rogues are deadly fighter bro so wish u luck |
i changed my pass without knowing it.
Is that even possible?
Is it just me or are Dark Elves appallingly bad?
It is just you. |
well,darkelf owns in level 1 and 2,they can beat all other factions under the same smart.
vs knight:spike clears the wall and rogues slaughter the bowman
vs elf:rogues have 7 speed and fks have 6 speed,which means it is always rogue hit first.that means victory.
vs wizard:since the low initiative of gargs it would be sure that single badit can take the retal of gargs and rogues kill them.gargs are really bad melee troop if not consider the spell damage of wizard hero(which is very low in level 1 and 2)
vs demon:kill imps with rogues before demon come in with reach,then take retal by bandit and hit and run,its a piece of cake
vs necro:almost the same situation with demon,only the zombies are much slower than demons...
vs barbarian:kill goblins first and block wolf with bandits.6 speed and large creature wolf is a tragedy in level 1 and 2 |
| Thanks for all the advice & encouragement. I actually won a battle this morning versus knights. L2 is now only 70xp away! |
Wear artifact (Wooden Sword and Shield)
Don't waste money wearing artifacts for hunts until level 5. If you're doing PvP occasionally that's fine, but not wearing anything is ok too. |
