| Author | Elves weak at level 10? |
|---|
I think Grandmaster bowmen offer almost no upgrade over regular elven bowmen. With +3 Hp and knocking shot (which rarely triggers and does not offer much benefit anyways), do elves finally lose their edge at this level?
I see other factions getting some really good upgrades like the Minotaurs, Ghosts (game-changer almost with double HP), Wolfhounds, Knights (yes not much improvement for them but given that you can recruiter upwards of 70 of these guys, its a game-changer) etc.
Thoughts? :) |
You are forgetting the Alt of Elves, Charmer Elves?
Sharpshooters can solo win games (if they dont get destroyed early, which is what normally happens and SHOULD happen, that is). |
Nvm, I suppose you are talking about the Classic versions of each faction.
Yes, I suppose you could say Elves is not SO great at CL 10, and is kinda squishy.
Gets stronger afterwards though, Imho, with so many treefolks, upgraded unicorns, and so on. |
Also I'd advice you to start doing MG, LG, AG, WG missions.
Your character would fall behind with less stat points. |
The grandmaster bowmen upgrade is an excellent upgrade. Knocking shot is no joke. Combined with soldier's luck, it gets triggered quite often.
You seriously underestimate grandmaster bowmen. |
| I just wonder why most played faction is Elf then. |
| These creatures have won me the toughest of battles. Give them enough luck. Get a enemy troop really close and look at this creature unleash hell upon them. |
It's +4 HP not +3 and considering the first elven unit to die is generally the bowman, a 40% increase in HP is meaningful. You also forgot the extra 1 point min and max damage. While not huge, 18% damage increase is not trivial.
You are clearly undervaluing knocking shot. As the bows have double shot, there's 2 chances of it triggering, and the second chance is higher as the target stack has lower health.
I haven't mentioned 16 shots instead of 12. If the bows ever run out of shots, you've probably won the battle, so the extra shots are irrelevant most of the time. |
| also the higher level you are, the more thieves/ranger guild become necessary at least for classic elf. one of the most important things for elf is that they outspeed their opponents |
Any faction can be the best; BUT definitely not the one you are playing now.

The reason level 10 for elves is massive is actually their PVE power. I remember hitting it, your greatest PVE weapon is unlocked level 10. Summon Phantom. That thing is a game changer. Your hunting and MG ability increases drastically at this level. Just dont bother using it for pvp, not that good.
Lets not forget how good other level ups will be for you now. Level 11 is treefolk, one of the, if not the strongest t6 unit. Level 12 will give you the anchorite upgrade, making these units a second shooter powerhouse as well. |
