Night Elf vs ... Strategies

[Tito]

I am not sure did I understand correctly.

When I play elf, I usually harras with demon hunter and in meantime I am buliding archers at home. When my dh ( demon hunter ) will be on low hp, I am going home, healling and creeping. When I am in tr2, I buy some hero from the tavern and I am attacking my oponent. While I am doing that, I am buliding 2x Ancient of lore at home, and I am going to tr3. Even if you lose when you attack your oponent, that's ok. Cuz you are attacking him only to destruct his attention ( only with 4-5 archers and 2 heroes ). You mustn't lose a hero or tp. Let your archers die if its needed, cuz when you make claws, they wont need you. After that go home, heal urself. Creep few spots with the claws, and attack your oponent. You will win

If you are elf, and you play mirror match, there is no easy way to rid of the oponent's huntress. You can try mass huntress with potm too, so the one with more micro will win. If he is making only huntress, bulid few glave towers, they make extra damage to hunts and they will kill them.

So, make potm/mass huntress and glave towers. Focus the glave towers on the oponent's huntress and focus the huntress on the oponent's archers.

any tactic with elves versus orc who is making mass trolls headhunters catas and shamans??

[Tito]

Mass claws, dh/panda.

EDIT: What did I say about spamming in this section?

[Ckestor]

Sorry. And by the way, some people say that wisps are unbalanced cause they make mana damage. It's very hard to take a wisp to explode in the back of the battle, at the sorcracers. You need 5 wisps to do about 50-100 mana damage cause most of the wisps will be killed by range units cause they are vulnerable. Wisps also cost gold and 5 wisps cost300 gold

It takes 2 wisps to kill single lvl 1 water elemental. Don't talk shit about imbalance

[Heldarion]

Btw, how do you best counter footmen/water elemental crap rush with nightelves?

You play without dh and without arch/hunt ? T_T ...

Despite that, they're still hard to kill + there are footmen and archmage pestering your low hp archers

Well yes its hard to defend, even pros have dificulties with such cases, but if u got nice micro and try to focus on his hero a lil bit you may vanish him from ur base

If he tryes to tower rush you (most cases on Turtle Rock) while fighting build some rax/shop next to his still not upgraded towers that might save ur ass

if game is on close spots on tr u can leave...

bm/panda/naga: 1st of all, moonwell + alta + wonder, that's it for your base. get bm learn quil beast (beast lvl 2 = great), note:do not learn summon bear (bear useless). this tough part, build your AoW INSIDE their UD base as soon as possible, try to pick a place near their haunted mine (acc + the mine = weak fortify). this sound ridiculous but, as I said this is for advance players. while harrassing loudly at the UD base. your main base couldnt be abandon, upgrades and make a small army of archers (6 = enough). Get the 2nd mine, main point is upgrade until you get DoC (bear form), also get few dryads too (5 is do good for your battle. dont forget the panda alcohol + fire, and naga when you're in eternity age (cold arrow to nuke hero, not to use for nuking units). 5-6 bears + 5 dryads + 6 of archers gang (extend their shooting distant) will serve you good VS UD. (give it a try)

*Again, this is for advance overall players. (if your apm=below 150, don't even bother thinking of trying this. bm=big daddy for elf + micro your archers at beginning is your key to success) good luck.
