Description

The Gunner Elf is one of the final units that spawns from the Elf Camp. It spawns when the Elf Camp is at Level 5, replacing the Cannoneer Elf. As with other units, it starts from the end of the map path and moves towards the entrance of the map. It has a spawnrate of 25 seconds.

The Gunner Elf fires in bursts of 6. Whenever there are enemies in its range, the Gunner Elf will stop moving and attack enemies with its snowball launcher. As the snowballs fired by it are a projectile, they may not hit the intended target but a different enemy instead or miss an enemy entirely. It will continue walking when there are no enemies left in its range. Two Gunner Elves spawn each time. These are not one unit, but two units. Uniquely, it also has hidden detection.

Appearance

The Gunner Elf has pale skin. It has a green shirt with white fur, dark green pants, black shoes and a green Christmas hat. It also wears black and yellow goggles with blue lens. It wields a red and yellow snowball launcher to attack enemies.

Strategy

• The two Gunner Elves that spawn can be quite useful during the mid to late-game because of their high range and DPS.
• On two-pathed maps, only two Gunner Elves will spawn per Level 5 Elf Camp. Each one will go down a random path.
• The Gunner Elf has Hidden detection, making them quite useful against hidden enemies.
  • The Gunner Elf cannot collide with Ghost enemies like Souls, but it can attack them.
• The Gunner Elf can deal full collision damage to enemies with defense, like the Heavy or Abnormal Boss.
  • Its gun damage is still affected.
• The Gunner Elf is not affected by any buff or debuff.
• The Gunner Elf will struggle against any enemy with abilities that damage units because of its low health.
  • For example, if the Fallen King uses its The Foil, the Épée and the Sabre attack, and a Gunner Elf is caught in the attack, it will die instantly regardless of how much health it has.
