'''Deep elf blademasters''' are the most powerful melee fighters of the [[list of deep elves|deep elves]]. They are fast, have annoyingly high evasion, and dual-wield [[Short Blades]] (small chance for [[quick blade]]s). They can be found in the [[Elven Halls]], particularly in the Hall of Blades.
  
'''Deep elf blademasters''' reside on the last floor of the [[Elven Halls]]. They dual-wield two short swords, sometimes [[quickblade]]s, and are 50% swifter than most players.

==Tips & Tricks==
 +
*While blademasters don't hit as hard as [[ettin]]s, they are fast, making them hard to escape from. Also, they are quite durable, unlike most of the other elves.
 +
*Blademasters have ''much'' higher evasion than other elves. Attacks that never miss, such as [[Freezing Cloud]], [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]], or  [[Fireball]], are effective. Using [[Borgnjor's Vile Clutch]] or a [[wand of roots]] will lower their EV to basically 0.

*[[Haste]] lets you move at the same speed as a blademaster. Haste and [[Swiftness]] allow you to outrun one.

They hit hard, but more importantly they hit fast! They are capable of hitting you several times per turn and it's difficult to escape. Powerful summons and [[Haste]] are very useful. But distance is your most important ally.
 
 
 
If you are a magic user, start backing up and making a "kiting" retreat as soon as they come into [[LOS]], preferably using a hallway as a bottleneck.
 
 
 
Unlike the other denizens of the Elven Halls, blademasters actually have quite good EV.  If possible, it is best to use attacks that bypass EV.  [[Fireball]] works quite well, and in an open area can even be used in melee range (target the fireball a knight's move away from yourself).  Cloud spells also work but will usually take a while: make sure you have a way to maintain distance, or a backup attack if the blademaster closes to melee range.
