They are both more fragile than Blitzers but give you some more options.
All Positions Dark Elves QuantityĪ different trade off for two of your Blitzers and you can get in a Witch Elf and an Assassin. As big of a fan as I am of going reroll heavy, I think that’s just too extreme a trade off. Starting with ten Linemen and either just a Blitzer or a Runner you can fit four rerolls in your starting roster. Thankfully you now have more money to actually spend on players and rerolls. There is a throwback roster option where you used to have to spend a big chunk of your money on Fan Factor so all Dark Elf teams used to just go 11 Linemen and 3 rerolls. I think that money is better of being banked, or for getting some more Dedicated Fans. On the flipside you have 10k banked which you could upgrade a Lineman to a second Runner. The Runner is perhaps slightly less desirable as you have the third reroll already, so you can save a further 10k dropping to another Lineman. This halves the number of players you have with Block so does require some careful consideration. If you do want to get three rerolls from the outset, then the trade off is quite steep, forcing you to drop down from four to only two Blitzers. Giving up the Runner does mean it’s harder or will take longer to get a Leader reroll and it will hurt more if the Witch Elf dies before you can get the Apothecary. The Witch Elf having Dodge also gives you some slightly more reliable manoeuvrability when you only have a couple of rerolls.
The Apothecary is the first purchase as the Witch Elves, like the Runners, have quite low armour.Īn alternative option is to swap the Runner and one of your Blitzers for another Lineman and a Witch Elf if you want the added threat that Frenzy can bring to the team. Trying to save up for a reroll whilst you also want to get an Apothecary and your very expensive Witch Elves means that any shortcuts will help. Whilst Runners do have low armour they are the easiest route to getting another reroll in the form of the Leader skill. They have the best armour available for Dark Elf teams, along with Block for both protection and hitting all those Block-less starting players on other teams. Your players are all expensive, so teams like to start with all their Blitzers. This is probably the most common way to start Dark Elves. This hasn’t really altered how most coaches start their teams, especially as it was fairly common for Assassins to be left out entirely to start with. Dark Elves have only changed slightly under the second season rules and their Assassin’s are now 5k cheaper than they used to be.
