The period of development around TR 150 is where Dark Elves can actually beat up some teams. Like all elves, the Dark Elves can spread the SPPs out over all their linemen, so most of them will have Block a lot earlier than, say, a Human team. All this makes the Dark Elves a strong defensive team.

Having four Blitzers allows specialisation of different skill combinations, especially with double skill choices, and the Witch Elves can become fearsome ball-winners - they can be devastating players with a double skill roll, or better yet, a stat increase. No less than six players on the roster can achieve Block and Dodge on their first skill roll, a powerful combination, especially in a sub-TR200 team. Dark Elves are quick, but not too quick, and can either play for the two-turn TD, or run the ball in over three or more turns, using a very mobile and adaptable cage until making the break for the endzone, with runners waiting in scoring positions. However, they lack dedicated Catchers, and their Throwers are more expensive than their High Elf rivals. Dark Elves are the nearest thing you will find to a bashy elf team.
