Useful Info

Deep elf knights are the toughest of the deep elf fighter-mages. Like deep elf fighters, they generate with long or short blades, bows, light armour, and occasionally bucklers, and can cast any spell an orc wizard is capable of. Unlike their peers, they have nearly as much durability as an orc knight, but their offensive capabilities are only slightly improved. They can be found in the Elven Halls and some baileys.

Tips & Tricks

  • While by no means harmless, you usually have more to worry about from the various pure-caster deep elf types.
  • Be careful of them if they generate with a good weapon: a deep elf knight with a good elven long sword of flaming or electrocution can ruin your day.

Trivia

In late December, online Crawl servers give these opponents festive Santa hats. Why a mere elf would be wearing a Santa hat is beyond me.
