There are four different starting races in Alaloth – Champion of the Four Realms, these include Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, and Elves. Across these four races, each offers various advantages and disadvantages making them unique in their own right. But to really make your character shine, you need to create a build that compliments their bonuses. So, here’s a complete breakdown of how you can build your Elf character in Alaloth.
Best Way of Power Building for Elves in Alaloth
To take advantage of the bonus benefits you get from being an elf, the best class to compliment the character would be the Rogue class. It provides solid early-game damage which translates into even higher burst damage in the late game.
Here is each of the skills you should acquire and how it can help you build a strong elven character:
| level | skill | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Viper’s kiss | The first ability to unlock with your character. Requires you to have a dagger equipped to cast, but can help you deal good burst damage. Extremely useful in 1v1 situations |
| 4 | Phantom Blink | Let you teleport behind any target and deal damage with increased (+20%) Critical Chance. Again, very helpful for dealing burst damage to single target enemies. |
| 7 | Rain of Razors | Yours main AoE ability to help you deal with hordes of enemies. The better throwing daggers you have, the stronger this skill becomes. |
| 10 | Disappear | Let’s make invisible and when you attack an enemy while in this state, you have an increased (+30%) Critical Chance. |
| 14 | Apex of Rogue | Unlocks the ‘ambush‘ trait for your character that gives an additional (+15%) damage increase when you attack any target from the back. |
Along with these five skills, you can unlock one more skill that can vary depending on your play style. If you want more damage, then ‘Ring of Pain‘ would be a good choice as it improves your damage while decreasing agility. For added mobility, you can choose ‘charge‘ as your final skill as well.

| 3 | Dagger Proficiency | Provides additional (+5%) Critical Chance along with +15% Blood chance making your normal attacks a lot of power. |
| 5 | Battle Trance (Feature) | Provides +25% Focus Regen letting you use more attacks and abilities without having to worry about running out of juice. |
| 6 | Veteran (Feature) | More 10% Cooldown reduction to “Way of Weapons” skills that are your primary DPS. |

Best Stats for Elves in Alaloth

- Strength: Once you’ve maxed out your Dexterity, you can use your remaining Stat Points on Strength. When you reach level 20, you will win an additional 30% Physical Damage along with 10% Abilities Cooldown Reductionmaking you extremely strong in the late game.
Best Fighting Style for Elves in Alaloth
Of the four fighting styles in Alaloth, the best choice for your elven character would be Double Swing. Since the abilities rely heavily on using daggers (both regular and throwing), choosing to dual wield allows you to start with two daggers, as well as equip them later in the game.
Additionally, Dual Wielding has the highest DPS across all other fighting styles based on normal attacks alone. The only downside is the lack of defense, which can be compensated for by recruiting companions to support your character.
Best Deity for Elves in Alaloth
There are seven different deities that you can choose for your character in Alaloth. Similar to race, your deity also provides you permanent buffs and debuffs. When choosing a deity for your elf character, here are the main options to consider:
- Bingel: Supplies you additional (+8%) Critical Chance who is ideal for your elf character as their abilities rely heavily on critical damage. You lose -50 Maximum Focus which can be recovered with better equipment.
- Idaris: Provides you +10% Critical Damage and +10% Physical Damage in exchange for +5% Magic Damage Vulnerability. The damage is negated by the elf’s racial buff, essentially providing you with extra DPS without a downside.
- Ulher: Provides you with an apartment +30% increase in Gold gain without any disadvantage. A safe choice if you don’t want constant wear and tear, and also helps you buy better gear faster.
How to Play Elves in Alaloth
Elves are the most skilled characters you can have in Alaloth. Due to their fast movements and high burst damage, they rely on rapid succession attacks followed by dodges to regain Focus while maintaining distance between enemies.
- 1v1 Battle: If you find yourself in a 1v1 situation with your Elf Character, then you’re in luck. All you have to do is use Phantom Blink or Vanishwhichever one you unlocked first and charge at the enemy. When you are close, use Viper’s kiss followed by a triple light attack combo to finish almost any enemy.
- Multiple Enemies: If you’re up against a horde of enemies, which is common especially against necromancers or in goblin regions, you’ll have to use a different strategy. If you are alone, first you need to get off the radar using Disappearthen use Rain of Razors at a place where you can hit the most enemies. Repeat this until you finish off most of the enemies.
