The Dark Elf Warrior (DEW) is a very nimble enemy that prioritizes attacking players directly, often ignoring defenses. It can evade towers by jumping high over them and can find the Huntress while she is invisible.

When the Warrior first sees a hero, it usually leaps high towards them and performs a circular slice upon landing. When close enough to the player, it can charge them at great speed to close the distance before striking.

Warriors are known to sometimes attack towers if no heroes are nearby. Warriors are also capable of damaging anything below them—including the Eternia Crystals—when landing after their jumps.
