Following on from our Forces of Fantasy and Ravening Hordes unit performance posts, I thought it may be interesting to take a deep dive into each faction at 2,000 point events. All of these results are taken from competitive 2k events that included Legacy factions and a minimum of 10 players.

High Elf Realms are very well balanced externally at 51%

The Archmage makes it into every single 2k point High Elf list to date. As opposed to the Mage, who only made it into 1 list. The Prince appears to be the go-to leader. The Star Dragon is the most popular of the three Dragon choices.

The other two dragons are seeing little play compared to the Star Dragon, and neither Phoenix appears to be attracting players either.

The above shows the win rates for units with more than 20 game results. With an overall win rate of 51% for the High Elf Realms, the only units currently exceeding this are the Lothern Sea Guard, the Star Dragon and the Ellyrian Reavers.

In terms of popularity of the Elven Honours, Pure of Heart (All units in command range use leadership of character and any unit the character has joined auto passes any Panic tests) and Loremaster (gains armour, has sword of Hoeth) are by far the most popular in lists.

There’s a more even distribution among the High Elf magic items. However, Seed of Rebirth (bearer has 5+ regeneration), Dragon Helm (improve armour save by +1 and 6+ ward against flaming attacks), and the Silvery Wand (Bearer knows one more spell than normal for their level) lead the way.

As we only include factions where there are more than 10 matches on record we are unable to show and matchups for the High Elves at present.
