Elfs need a buff

[Neilung]

So. Elfs. They are a neat concept on paper but then you realise that there are so few activation triggers for some effects.
Elf Mystic for instance negates all dodge activated effects. There are 9 of these effects in the game. Out of like 900+ creatires <1% has such effects. So, why would I ever want to put an Elf Mystic (or its fusion) in my party?
All other Elfs have the same problem. They are a bit to nished and their mastery material absolutely does not help to solve the issue.

If anyone here has an experience of using Elfs in a party, please share your thoughts.

Imo the whole game is about nished traits.

The elf's (whalst being a horrible create type because who likes elf's) have a needed use in the game.
If you change the elf's trait another creature will just pick it up later down the line as some one will have a need for it.

I use Elf Barbarian in several parties, it stops a lot of troublesome traits (wight and mutant mainly). Generally Elfs are used to fix weaknesses in your party, it's not something you build around. So if your party gets wiped at some point due to a dodge effect, you would want an Elf Mystic.

You have a point there is not much reason to build an Elf party, so the the mastery trait need to be very strong to make up for that.

I talked about elf mastery needing to be amazing in order to make them a more interesting option in another thread but unfortunately, they're just a gimmick team, that is meant to counter some other gimmick that you're having trouble with. Thing is, you can generally brute force your way through anything the elves could help with, so they end up not being used at all as a team, which is a shame.

That's exactly my point. If I encounter some team which wipes me out, I just shrug it off and lower the difficulty from 5 to 3 for one realm.
If it was a boss fight I might throw in couple new spell gems.
No need to drastically change your team, only maybe for Gate of Gods
