Tanky entwining warrior who can soak as much damage as possible.
Invoker.
Both Maran.
Tanky warrior waits for dark-elf with invoker shields, mantle and maybe other preps. When combat starts, `cb To me;entwine`.
Invoker keeps Frost Fingers and aura/shield/stoneskin up. Invoker waits for this string to appear on his client: `[Fortress] Tanky: To me`, which triggers the following command: `call 'cry of deliverance' tanky`. If it fails, try again.
Invoker casts the following:
0. Brandish wrath talisman if dark-elf known to have orb of travel.
1. Flare if dark-elf has legacy flow
2. Rain
3. Dispel (remove prot vs good and stoneskin and desensitize)
4. Web
5. Iceneedles until dark-elf dies
Tanky warrior needs to be able to eat all that damage. One valid build: dwarf whip/hand gates/riddle, or dwarf whip/axe gates/maelstrom, with 1400 hp and >40% dam reduction.
I think the axe one is a bit better since pincer will limit dark-elf to 1 one-rounder per 3 rounds, or 1 two-rounder per 4 rounds.
Either of those builds are quite good for killing the dark-elf alone, but it will be much harder. The invoker more or less won't fear the dark-elf, but the dwarf can easily die to the dark-elf if not careful.
See Darascus vs Kostyan for how badly an invoker outclasses a dark-elf non-villager warrior.
