 *Luring master archers around a corner is highly preferable to charging headlong into a stream of arrows. Fighting them from a [[kill hole]] is even better, but kill holes don't last long around [[deep elf elementalist]]s.
 *Unlike with some other archers (eg [[centaur]]s), if you are adjacent to a deep elf master archer, they will ''not'' switch to a melee weapon, making them no less deadly at point-blank range. Of course, if you've got the archer next to you, then you can freely pummel them to death; they're lightly armoured and only moderately evasive.
-*If you've found a [[scarf]] of [[Repel Missiles|repulsion]], the Elven Halls is a good place to wear it. [[Reflection]] and a good [[SH]] score can also be a boon here.

 *If you have [[curare]] [[dart]]s, this is a good time to use them, either to escape the pummeling or slow down the rate of fire to achieve a kill.
 *A [[scroll of fear]] can get a master archer off your back long enough to regroup, but not reliably; you'll probably need more than one and had better have reasonable [[HP]] to begin with.

-*Barring exceptional defenses, when given a clear line of fire to you, deep elf master archers will deal staggering amounts of damage very quickly (all the more so if they have a [[brand]]ed bow). If you're playing a character who has trouble taking a hit or two, do what you can to keep ''something'' in the way of their arrows at all times unless you're actively killing them. A flood of summons works well, though weak ones will likely be mowed down almost as fast as you can generate them. Any [[smite]]-targeted spell, however, is perfect here.

-They're one of the biggest threats on Elf:3. A lone master archer can defeat a [[quicksilver dragon]] 56.57% of the time. Their shots are more damaging and accurate than a [[yaktaur captain]]'s. Unlike other archers, these guys tend to shoot even if you're right next to them.  [[Deflect Missiles]] and [[Haste]] are highly recommended.
