How the team plays

High Elves are the elf team with armour. Every position has AV 9+ and AG 2+, and the High Elf Lineman is a 65k skill-less player. The Phoenix Warrior is the thrower, PA 2+ with Pass, Safe Pass and Cloud Burster, so his passes cannot be intercepted and a natural 1 ends his activation without a turnover. Dragon Princes are MA 8 with Block, Steady Footing and My Ball: they carry the ball and never give it up. White Lions have MA 7 with Wrestle and Claws, the team's armour breakers.

A Dragon Prince runs the ball, and a Phoenix Warrior throws it to a Lineman or a White Lion when the lane closes, so Dragon Princes score most of the time. Casualties are rarer than on other elf sides, though the players cost 110k, so each one stings. The lack of Dodge on the starting roster is what hurts; ST 3 on everyone means a bash side still wins the collisions. They play in the Elven Kingdoms League.

Building a starting roster

A common 1,000,000 gp High Elf list takes both Dragon Princes (220k), one White Lion (110k), one Phoenix Warrior (90k) and seven Linemen (455k), 875k for eleven. Two re-rolls at 50k bring it to 975k with 25k spare. Both White Lions and both Princes with a Phoenix Warrior and six Linemen cost 920k and leave room for a single re-roll at 970k, which most coaches think is one too few for a team that dodges every turn. The second White Lion and the apothecary come later.

Advice for newer coaches

Carry with a Dragon Prince and remember My Ball before you plan a hand-off; he will never pass or hand the ball to anyone, so the scorer is him or nobody. Throw with the Phoenix Warrior across a crowded midfield, since Cloud Burster removes the interception. Blitz AV 9+ or better targets with a White Lion; Claws breaks armour on a natural 8+ whatever the AV. Avoid dodging a Dragon Prince carrier through two tackle zones because Steady Footing exists; it saves on a 6 only.
