Drops

Elf Copter drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Aerial gyrocopter gunships in festive night skies

Buzzing overhead during the Frost Moon event, the Elf Copter is a nimble flying gunship piloted by a combat-ready elf. Sporting 1,200 health and 28 defense, this rotorcraft hovers above players while firing rapid machine gun strafes, dealing 60 contact damage in Classic, 90 in Expert, and 135 in Master mode.

Countering airborne strafing runs with homing munitions

The Elf Copter excels at maintaining altitude just out of standard melee reach while peppering defenders with continuous bullet sprays. Utilizing homing weapons such as Chlorophyte Bullets or the Razorblade Typhoon locks onto these agile flyers without requiring precise manual aim. Taking them down promptly clears congested skies for navigating major boss attacks.

Trivia

  • Elf Copters fly with unique hovering physics, circling above players while maintaining firing arcs.
  • Their rotor blades emit a distinct buzzing sound when entering the arena.
