Dark Elf

CoC Xianxia Version 0.8t. This page was created using the Enemy Template.

## Description

```
*"This woman is a Dark elf. She's slender and elegant, with dark skin and long pointed ears. The look in her eyes, a mixture of bloodlust and greed, give her intentions away...as does her equipment. Ropes, poisoned arrows, she's come to the surface to capture slaves."*

```

The Dark Elves are a new race introduced in Xianxia. Originating from deep beneath the surface of Mareth and highly skilled in stealth and archery, the player will often find themselves ambushed by them as they explore Mareth. Corrupted Slavers by nature, all Dark Elves the player encounters will attack the player with the intent of capturing and sending them to the Prison.

Dark Elves can be encountered while exploring the caves.

## Variants

Two different professions of Dark Elf can be encountered, each with their own stats.

### Dark Elf Ranger

```
*"As you explore the area an arrow passes by your elbow, shaft scraping your skin as it passes. You look for your aggressor and spot a dark-skinned woman with pointed ears, purple eyes, and a bow. Having realised her quarry spotted her, she jumps down from her hiding spot toward you and draws a few arrows, smiling malevolently."*

```

Slightly better equipped and more dangerous, the Dark Elf Ranger lurks in the Caves.

 General

### Dark Elf Sniper

```
*"As you explore the area an arrow passes by your elbow, missing you by a hair's width. You look for your aggressor and spot a dark-skinned woman with pointed ears, purple eyes, and a bow. Having realised her quarry spotted her, she jumps down from her hiding spot toward you and draws a few arrows, smiling malevolently."*

```

The more dangerous of the Dark Elf variants, the Dark Elf sniper is also encountered while exploring the caves.

## Elf Racial Score

The Fae Ear dropped by Dark Elves is sadly not a Dark Elf transformative item, it is a generic elf transformative. As such, there is no racial score for Dark Elves.

## Combat

### Enemy Abilities

**Poison Arrow Volley:** All Dark Elves are capable of launching a volley of up to six poisoned arrows at the player, each having a chance to deal 125 damage.

```
*"The black skinned elf aims her bow at you, drawing several arrows and starts shooting."*

```

**Ankle Shot:** A carefully aimed shot temporarily cripples the player and prevents them from using their Melee Attack option, forcing them to resort to alternative attacks.

```
*"The dark skinned elf shoot you through the ankle and takes some distance. Crippled like you are, it will be annoying to catch her—if not impossible. Better use ranged attacks until you recover mobility."*

```

**Wing Clip:** If the Player takes flight during the fight, the Dark Elf fires an arrow through their wing, bringing them crashing to the ground and dealing a modest amount of damage (1,600).

```
*"The dark elf smirks wickedly before shooting an arrow straight into your wing. You fall, unable to fly, and crash into the ground.*"

```

### Victory

Dark Elves cannot be interacted with after being defeated, as they will always escape with the following message:

```
*"You manage to force the dark skinned bitch on her back, so she falls to the ground defeated, yet smirking. Just as you are about to grab her, she throws a smoke bomb on the ground and uses the screen to cover her escape. Blast! She’s fast, there is no way you will catch her now."*

```

### Defeat

If defeated by the Dark Elf, the following interaction occurs:

```
<*"You fall to the ground defeated and the elf grabs you by the chin, examining you for a few seconds before declaring.*

*Pah, worthless! You really weren’t worth my time. Mine-fodder, that's what you are, the worst possible product. What a disappointing end to the run.*

*"She’s clearly as disappointed as you’re relieved. You look at her in stupor as she runs off and disappears in the nearby bushes, did you just escape slavery by a hair strand of luck?"*

```

## Loot

Upon defeat, all Dark Elves can drop:

* Light Bow (20%)
* A Fae ear shaped plant (80%)

## Codex Entry

Codex Entries are accessible in-game after the player has encountered this enemy type at least once. The Codex is accessed either by visiting 'Camp Actions' -> 'Spend Time' -> 'Read Codex'; or, if the player has built their cabin: 'Enter Cabin' -> 'Codex'.

Dark Elves do not have a Codex entry.
