There are four different starting races in Alaloth - Champion of The Four Kingdoms, these include Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, and Elves. Across these four races, each offers various pros and cons making them unique in their own right. But to truly make your character shine, you must create a build that compliments their bonuses. So, here's a complete breakdown of the best Elf build in Alaloth.
Best 'Way of Power' Build for Elves in Alaloth
To capitalize on the bonus perks you get from being an Elf, the best class to compliment the character would be the Rogue class. It provides solid early-game damage which translates into even higher burst damage in the late game. Here's each of the skills you should get:
| Level | Skill | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Viper's Kiss | The first skill to unlock with your character. Requires you to have a dagger equipped to cast, but can help you deal good burst damage. Extremely useful in 1v1 situations |
| 4 | Phantom Blink | Let's you teleport behind any target and deal damage with an increased (+20%) Critical Chance. Again, very helpful for dealing burst damage to single-target enemies. |
| 7 | Rain of Razors | Your main AoE skill to help you deal with hordes of enemies. The better throwing daggers you have, the stronger this skill becomes. |
| 10 | Vanish | Let's you go invisible and when you attack an enemy while in this state you have an increased (+30%) Critical Chance. |
| 14 | Rogue's Apex | Unlocks the 'Ambush' trait for your character that provides an additional (+15%) increase in damage when you attack any target from the back. |
Along with these five skills, you can unlock one more skill that varies based on your playstyle. If you want more damage, then 'Ring of Pain' would be a good choice as it buffs your damage while decreasing skill cost. For extra mobility, you can also choose 'Charge' as your final skill.
Best Traits and Proficiencies for Elves in Alaloth
Traits and Proficiencies are extremely important for building your character, and both require Legacy Points to unlock. So, knowing when to unlock which traits and proficiency is key. Here's how you should go about it:
| Level | Unlock | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Evasive (Trait) | Increases your damage every time you dodge during combat, Can increase your DPS very fast. Essential for this build. |
| 3 | Dagger Proficiency | Provides extra (+5%) Crit Chance along with +15% Bleed Chance making your normal attacks much power. |
| 5 | Battle Trance (Trait) | Provides +25% Focus Regen letting you use more attacks and skills without having to worry about running out of juice. |
| 6 | Veteran (Trait) | Additional 10% Cooldown reduction to 'Way of Arms' skills which are your main DPS. |
| 8 | Defensive Streak (Trait) | Every 5 kills buffs you with Damage Reduction, providing you with more survivability. |
| 9 | Light Armour Proficiency | Makes your defense better, and improves Resistance and Focus Regen. |
| 11 | Ranged Proficiency | Makes your ranged attacks and skills more powerful. |
| 17 | Sword Proficiency | Extra +10% Crit Chance on every third attack and +8% Bleed Chance. |
Best Stats for Elves in Alaloth
Like Talents, Stats in Alaloth also require Stat Points, which you get at every two levels, with the maximum being 10 Stat Points at level 20. To get the best value out of these points, here's what you should use these points on:
- Dexterity: Dexterity is the main stat you should focus on when playing an Elf character in Alaloth. You should prioritize this stat from level one till you reach level nine. You'll get +10% Critical Chance along with +10% Focus Regen, which means more DPS and more skills.
- Strength: Once you've maxed out your Dexterity, you can use your remaining Stat Points on Strength. When you reach level 20, you'll gain an additional 30% Physical Damage and 10% Skill Cooldown Reduction, making you extremely strong in the late game.
Best Fighting Style for Elves in Alaloth
Of the four fighting styles in Alaloth, the best choice for your Elven character would be Dual Wielding. As the skills heavily rely on using daggers (both regular and throwing), choosing dual wielding allows you to start with two daggers and equip them later in the game.
Moreover, Dual Wielding has the highest DPS across all other fighting styles based on normal attacks alone. The only downside is the lack of defense, which can be made up by recruiting companions to support your character.
Best Deity for Elves in Alaloth
There are seven different deities you can choose for your character in Alaloth. Similar to race, your deity also provides you with permanent buffs and debuffs. When choosing a deity for your Elf character, here are the top choices to consider:
- Bingel: Provides you extra (+8%) Critical Chance, which is ideal for your Elf character as their skills heavily rely on critical damage. You lose -50 Maximum Focus which can be recouped with better equipment.
- Idaris: Provides you with +10% Critical Damage and +10% Physical Damage in exchange for +5% Magic Damage Vulnerability. The debuff gets canceled by the elf's race buff, essentially providing you extra DPS with no downside.
- Ulher: Provides a flat +30% increase in Gold gain without any downside. It is a safe choice if you don't want permanent debuffs and helps you buy better gear faster.
How To Play Elves in Alaloth
Elves are the most nimble characters you can have in Alaloth. Because of their quick movements and high burst damage, they rely on quick successive attacks followed by dodges to recover Focus while maintaining distance between enemies.
- 1v1 Combat: If you find yourself in a 1v1 situation with your Elf Character, you're in luck. You only need to use Phantom Blink or Vanish, whichever you've unlocked first, and charge at the enemy. Once you're in close range, use Viper's Kiss followed by a triple light attack combo to finish off almost any enemy.
- Multiple Enemies: If you're up against a horde of enemies, which is common, especially against necromancers or in goblin regions, you'll have to use a different strategy. If you're alone, first, you need to get off the radar using Vanish, then use Rain of Razors at a spot where you can hit the most enemies. Repeat this till you finish off most enemies.
