Description

The Elf Camp is a unit spawning tower that could have been unlocked by triumphing Cold Ambush during the Violent Night Event. After a player had returned to the lobby, it was claimed through the Gift Box menu. It could also have been obtained through a limited time gamepass for 500 Robux during the Violent Night Event and Krampus' Revenge Event, and for 799 Robux during the The Final Act Event. The Elf Camp is a spawner tower that summons elves. These elves are modernized versions of the enemies that appeared in the Violent Night Event. At Level 0, it only summons the Elf. However, with later Levels, it can spawn multiple units at once instead of just one. The functionality of these units varies, making each unit unique. With Levels, some units will be replaced by their stronger variants. For the first upgrade, the Elf Camp only summons Elves, which can only collide with enemies. This unit is later replaced with the Guardian Elf, which can also damage enemies with its sword. At Level 1, it can spawn an additional unit, the Snowball Elf, that throws snowballs at enemies from a distance, dealing damage. It is replaced by the Cannoneer Elf at Level 2, which deals more DPS, and by the Gunner Elf at Level 3, which fires in bursts and at Level 4 spawns twice, dealing even more DPS. At Level 2, it can also spawn the Bomber Elf, which explodes upon death, dealing damage to enemies in its explosion radius. It is replaced by the Gift Bomber at Level 4, which instead throws present bombs and flies in a sleigh, allowing it to avoid colliding with non-Boss enemies.

Strategy

The Elf Camp can be an effective counter against defense enemies, as its units deal full damage when colliding with enemies. Splash Damage from the Bomber Elf or Ripped Elf is also not affected by Defense. Damage from the Guardian Elf and ranged elves like the Snowball Elf or Gunner Elf is still affected. It is best advised to place the Elf Camp away from the main path, as it has no use close to it. The Elf Camp can be very useful against Hidden enemies due to most of its units having hidden detection. The Gunner Elf and Gift Bomber can also detect Flying enemies while the Elf Camp is at Level 4. Do note that some enemies can damage units. As most of the Elf Camp units have low health, they will often be killed instantly. Despite being a flying unit, the Gift Bomber is affected by enemy abilities that damage units, even if it does not look like was not hit by it. The Bomber Elf's splash damage can be quite useful at clearing out hordes of enemies that appear early on. Later on, the Ripped Elf and Gift Bomber can also prove useful for the stronger hordes of Slow Bosses, although it takes a while for the projectiles to hit, meaning they could miss faster enemies. The Ripped Elf's snowballs may not hit the path most of the time. The Electroshocker, Frost Blaster, Freezer and Toxic Gunner pair well with the Elf Camp as they slow down enemies before colliding with units, allowing the units to survive longer. Units spawned by the Elf Camp are not affected by any buffs or debuffs.
