As another stated, Witch Elves are support melee troops, which means 1-3 per army.Ģ.
While their killing capacity is good, it can't keep up with the rate others kill them- anything but meat fodder kills them faster. They're about equal with Dual Sword Shades *in melee*. By themselves, they are outperformed by all the other choices. I found the following about Witch Elves.ġ.
So I tested them, in various scenarios, to see what they could do that Dark Riders, Executioners, Corsairs, Bleakswords, or Shades could not do better.
I just so happened to be considering this earlier today, but only the Witch Elves.
