Snow Elves are good tier 3 units. They're good shooters, quite tough and have no Melee penalty. The only downside is them having only 4 shots.

Steel Elves are even better, having twice as many shots and being able to shoot even when blocked by enemy units.

  • It's best to use them with the Mountain Rams during the early game, with the Elves dealing primary damage as shooters, and the Rams finishing the wounded enemies or going for their shooters.
  • Also, make sure to not prolong combat for too long or shoot from too far, since they have relatively few shots. Or better buy an Ammo Cart.
  • When having Jotunns, you may order them to wait, then teleport the Steel Elves behind the enemy castle walls. Since they neither can be blocked by enemy units, nor have melee penalty, they'll shoot freely at enemies, while being close enough for full damage shots.
