Elf[DCCEL]

Master the Elf in Dragon's Crown with high burst damage, charged shots, and backstab options. Learn about her skills and how to manage arrows.

Natural Skills:

• Charged Shot: The Elf can charge her shots, increasing damage and adding a piercing effect. It is highly recommended to charge most shots for maximum arrow effectiveness.
• Dash Shot: Hold square while pressing left or right and then releasing square fires a quick piercing shot in the opposite direction. If points are invested in Clone Shots, she will fire multiple shots at once.
• Arrows: The Elf can run out of arrows. To replenish them, she or her allies must attack enemies, causing them to drop arrows.

• Power Shot (Bow and Arrow Skill): Increases charged shot damage and adds a shockwave. This skill should be maxed out as charged shot is frequently used.

• Clone Strikes (Bow and Arrow Skill): Causes crouched charged shots and dash shots to fire multiple arrows simultaneously. This is excellent for crouched charged shots, as all arrows can benefit from Impact Arrow, Salamander Oil, or Toxic Extract effects. This skill is a must up to rank 2. Higher ranks may be a waste of arrows or a DPS increase depending on the enemy.

• Toxic Extract (Tools Skill): Adds a chance to poison to arrows and daggers, and creates a poisonous cloud when an arrow lands on the ground. This skill is best used for the poisonous cloud effect by having arrows land on the ground. Avoid non-charged air shots as they may not pierce enemies and reach the ground. While less damaging than Salamander Oil, it is useful if you run out of Salamander Oil or against fire-resistant enemies. Investing points is optional.
