==Useful info==
 
'''Deep elf blademasters''' reside on the last floor of the [[Elven Halls]]. They dual-wield two [[Short Blades]], sometimes [[quick blade]]s, and are half again as fast as most players.
 
 
 
==Tips and tricks==
 
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.

'''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.
  
Unlike the other denizens of the Elven Halls, blademasters actually have quite good EVIf 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.

==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.
