Default Are Elves Novelty?

I've heard both sides..... one from a TW player's perspective (Apparantly this comes from the oh so famous one in TW)
Saying how humans are better than elves in archery because of AR and such, I have been seeing a lot of human archers saying elves wont be able to touch them. (could this be denial?)

And I've heard that from KR people, properly used Elves are superior to Humans in Archery...
Something about a 100 base dex Elf can out damage a 200-300 base dex human?

I just want to hear and understand both sides and I rather prefer a non bandwagon response...

Well, Elves will be weak in the beginning, from just being implemented. Unless of course Race Change cards really do exist, at which point hard-core archers (like myself) with Rank 9+ Range will change to Elves...

Elves are better at Archery (and Magic, when compared to Giants)
Giants are better at Melee
Humans are Pretty Balanced (Gets good damage from anything)

So... Pure Archer, go Elf. Pure Melee, go Giant. Anything else or a mix, go Human

I'd say hardcore elves are top notch in this game.
But you rarely see any of those.

Pretty sure i read somewhere the damage formula for elves archer skills gets a lot more damage per point of dex than the human formula.

I think the only drawback will be how weak elves are until they catch up to the current state of human archers. A maxed out elf archer will probably destroy a maxed out human with AR both in speed and damage.

Now of course the arena noobs won't take this into consideration, and laugh/make fun of total level 40 elves while they have a few hundred total levels and r1 skills. But soon enough that elf is gonna get his revenge.

Hmm... Elf ranged attack is a cross between Human RA and AR...So if its a new elf vs a new human elf wins, hmm Elves RA load time 0.3, Human 0.8 Max elf aiming speed 200% Max human aiming speed 300%...hmm I would say elf with maxed Range Mastery vs Human with max RM+AR, elf wins, because they have final shot :3

Nicovideo of a very strong elf. Look at the other parts too, if you want to get an idea of how insanely cheap elves are at high total levels.

Majikaru, as a fellow elf. Honestly, who won't bask in the cheapness as an elf at high levels. This reminds me of the good old times
