This same skill can also make Dark Elves a serious danger to opponents when a play comes anywhere near the sideline, as you have many ways to threaten a push into the crowd.Strap on your boots, don your helmet, adjust your shoulder guards and chest plate… and slip a sharpened dagger into your belt (discreetly). Once you have Witch Elves, their Frenzy skill can make this even easier by pushing defenders multiple squares.

When you do make a significant gap, you can easily flood multiple players by using your agility.

On offense you should resist the temptation to pursue a passing attack, and instead play a loose, running screen, using your Blitzers to punch holes in opposing defenses. When the time is right, you can pile players in and put pressure on your opponent, or go for the ball using your agility to find opportunities to penetrate cages or outmaneuver screens. If the game becomes about trading Blitz actions you have a good chance to win the war of attrition against many teams. This will limit them to very few blocks against you and restrict their progress down the field. Defensively, you can keep opponents at arms' length and frustrate them by dodging away and making two-deep screens. You could also drop the Runner for a Lineman and use the remaining money on Dedicated Fans.ĭark Elves' ability to both dodge away from opponents and go toe-to-toe with them makes them one of the most versatile teams in the game.

If you want to change this build-up a little, you can drop the Runner for a Lineman and swap a Blitzer for a Witch Elf. You can only fit 2 Team Re-rolls in this build, and there is no room to buy more Dedicated Fans. He can also be one of the best ways to add re-rolls to the team by taking the Leader skill.ĭark Elf Linemen are extremely solid players who can be developed in many useful ways into impactful players in their own right.

The Runner is a dedicated ball carrier who has lower armor than the rest of the team but adds offensive mobility. These are arguably one of the best players in the game and can do everything and anything the team needs on both sides of the ball. By far the simplest and most effective way to start Dark Elves is to take the four Blitzers. Despite their many different positionals, cost, and efficiency means your starting rosters will have to look a little humble.
