The Warcraft 3 Reforged Nightelf Race (Strategy & All Units)

Warcraft 3 Reforged Nightelf Strategy Guide: How to play the Nightelf Race?

What are the pros and cons of the nightelf race in WC3 Reforged and how should you play them?

Nightelfs usually play with only one or two heroes and have to create an advantage in the game. They have to analyse the enemy and create map control for beeing able to expand everywhere.

Dependent on the gameplan nightelf can be very offensive through mass strategies like mass Archers, mass Hunts, or mass Dryads, but have to seriously overcommit into something to create dominance.

With even supply numbers, nightelfs often fall behind, and especially in the late game, they are the weakest race. Because of that a good economy, tactical advantages, higher hero levels, and a flexible playstyle are key to win over other races.

• Wisps can scout ver nicely, because they can jump onto any tree to harvest lumber. Like that you won’t lose the harvesting time.
