The wood elf is the third-tier creature of the Rampart faction in Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can be recruited from the homestead. The wood elf can be upgraded to the grand elf. In Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, Gelu can upgrade wood elves into sharpshooters.

Armed with bows, elves are the only Rampart units with a ranged attack. Grand elves takes two shots per attack.^OffBck

As the only ranged Rampart creature, the wood elf provides some much-needed support to the front-line fighters. Their attack and damage is decent, but like most ranged creatures, they're vulnerable and should be protected.

Notes

• Ivor is a specialist in wood elves, and gives them +1 to Attack and Defense per hero level after third level. These creatures also get +1 to Speed.
