-NightElf Advantages-

• Ancients

  Nothing to research here. This ability is incredible, letting certain ancient buildings come alive, uproot, walk around and even attack. Here are the listed ancient buildings which can do this : Tree of Life, Tree of Ages, Tree of Eternity, Ancient of War, Ancient of Wind, Ancient of Lore, and Ancient Protector.

Advice

There are so many possible options with this ability is not even funny. Even though this was meant to be the races' last defense mechanism, it can also be used for regular based war. Just use your imagination. Using Ancient Protectors is more complicated than once thought. To make a wall of Ancient protectors its wise to have two lines of them, in the front line you want to uproot them for close range attack, and in the back keep the protectors rooted for long range attack. Not only can uprooted ancient buildings attack, they have an ability called "Eat Tree" which allows the building to consume a tree, giving hp to the uprooted building.

• Shadowmeld

  Nothing to be researched here. This ability allows all the female warriors to become invisible during the nighttime game setting. However the catch is that the female warriors must be completely motionless for the invisible ability to take effect.

Advice

I'll tell you right now, this ability is perfect for ambushes. Just set up all your long ranged elves, wait for the right moment, then strike! ( Setting up ambushes right outside an enemies base is even better )

• Enhanced Night Vision

  This researched ability allows all night elves to make the visibility the same at night as if it were day. It can be researched at the Hunter's Hall.

Advice

This is good I suppose to let your units have more of a stealthy advantage, but don't research it in the early stages of the game or it'll set you back.

• Moon Wells

  Not only do the moon wells serve as food, they can also serve as healing chambers. The moon wells provide a healing source to any unit. All you have to do is click on a unit that is damaged and right click on a moon well. When the unit goes near the moon well, some of the water in the well will fade but restore hit points to that unit. The water in the well will restore itself gradually at night.

Advice

This is perfect for hit-and-run tactics. For example, setting up a few moon wells near an enemy base, then striking with your force and quickly retreating for health, then striking back, until your enemy fades.

• Night Elf Resource Gathering

The night elves have the mose unique and fastest way of gathering resources. When harvesting a gold mine, it must first be entangled, after doing so, wisp may be placed upon the gold mine to circle around it, instantly giving you resources after each cycle. When wisp harvest lumber, they go to a tree, and encircle it over and over, giving you lumber every cycle without harming the trees.

Advice

You get resources fast, what else is there to say?

-Overall Summary-

The Night Elves only place their motives to mobility, ranged firepower, and magic/spellcraft. They don't show as much brute force and physical power, but their entire format makes up for this.
