Master the Eldar in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Learn their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies to dominate the battlefield.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Early Game: Focus on establishing your base and expanding quickly. Eldar units are expensive, so efficient resource management is key. Use your starting units to scout and harass enemy expansion points.
  2. 2
    Mid Game: Begin to field your core army. Wraithguard and Dire Avengers are strong choices for infantry. Introduce your first psykers and vehicles, such as the Vyper or War Walker.
  3. 3
    Late Game: Unleash the full might of the Eldar. This includes powerful super-units like the Avatar, Wraithlord, and the devastating Falcon Grav Tank. Utilize your psychic powers to control the battlefield and debuff enemies.
  4. 4
    Psychic Powers: Eldar psykers are crucial. Powers like 'Blessing of the Isha' for healing, 'Mind War' for enemy commander assassination, and 'Destructor' for area damage can turn the tide of battle.
  5. 5
    Mobility: Eldar units often have special abilities that enhance their mobility, such as the Webway Strike for rapid deployment. Use this to your advantage for flanking maneuvers and quick reinforcements.
Tips
  • Hit and Run: Eldar units are often fragile. Engage the enemy, deal damage, and retreat before they can sustain heavy losses.
  • Focus Fire: Eldar units are powerful but often specialized. Concentrate fire on key enemy units to eliminate threats quickly.
  • Power Management: Eldar rely heavily on Power for unit production and upgrades. Ensure you have a steady income of Power.
  • Psychic Dominance: Invest in psykers and utilize their abilities effectively. They can provide crucial buffs, debuffs, and offensive capabilities.
  • Countering Specific Factions: Against aggressive factions like the Orks or Chaos, focus on early defense and mobility. Against more defensive factions like the Imperium or Necrons, use your mobility and psychic powers to break their lines.
