### Strategy

* Bradley's range boost allows your ranged units to much more easily hide in the backline and guarantee that you make the first hit on enemy units.
* When the opponent has failed to defend your push, deploy him near your New Kid and deploy ranged units near the field divider, but not too close to the line. The ranged units will now attack the New Kid while minimizing shockwave damage.
	+ Timmy Cards, Nathan, Alchemist Scott, and Big Gay Al will be able to stay clear of shockwave damage entirely because of their already high attack range.
* Synergizes quite well with Kyle Cards. The boost from the attack boosting Kyles will stack with Bradley's boost and the shielding Kyles will do a great job of protecting your frail ranged characters from unit, spell, or shockwave damage. They'll also be boosted by Bradley too!
	+ Additionally, Hunter Jimbo also does greatly with Elven King Bradley, as both are cards that boost Ranged units - effectively stacking the attack boost.
	+ Mr. Mackey or Full Moon Sparky can work similarly, as both characters provide an attack boost that can stack with Elven King Bradley's boost.
	+ Ultimately, it's possible to combine all four of these boosts with Elven King Bradley – though exclusively with Gunslinger Kyle or Kyle of the Drow Elves due to the combo requiring Jimbo and Sparky.
* Synergizes immensely well with Bebe Cards, as the higher attack from Bradley will increase her likelihood of receiving boosts from enemy kills.
* It is beneficial to combine him with Visitors, as his attack boost is effectively doubled from Visitors being two units rather than one.
* Synergizes decently - albeit in a very niche way - with Ranged area attackers, such as Nathan, Terrance Mephesto, and Dark Mage Craig as they'll get more value with Bradley's boost from covering larger ground. These ranged area attackers can be further boosted by other attack boosting cards such as the aforementioned Kyle, Mr. Mackey, Full Moon Sparky, and Hunter Jimbo cards.
* Pete's heal will be much larger with Bradley's boost.

### Notes and Trivia

* In South Park: The Stick of Truth, Bradley was a Elven Thief, not an Elven King.
* Elven King Bradley is one of the six cards whose class doesn't match up with of their other cards. The other five being Imp Tweek, The Amazingly Randy, Shieldmaiden Wendy, Super Craig, and Dark Angel Red.
	+ Archangel Bradley also fits this, as he's a fighter as well. Him along with Elven King are the only two Fighter Bradleys, with the others being ranged.
* Bradley, along with Robin Tweek, Dwarf King Clyde, Dragonslayer Red, Catapult Timmy, Blood Elf Bebe, and The Amazingly Randy are the only characters to get a costume replacement from South Park: The Stick of Truth.
