Units

Elvish Archer is important unit for rebels with powerful ranged attack.

  • maximum defense and speed in forest (70%), but low hitpoints
  • neutral, can be upgraded into 2 useful units (stealthy ranger or very offensive marksman)
  • strong vs drakes and anyone with no or limited ranged attack; weak vs ulfserkers, skeletons, mages...
  • average melee attack (blade), strong ranged attack (pierce)

Elvish Fighter is a cost efficent warrior of the rebels. Similar to Elvish Archers, but much better in melee combat.
