Alright before I want to get into detail I just want to say some things. The capture the flag kits are base on swords and people going solo. I'm not saying that's bad but to put it this way. Their are 2 weapons in Minecraft, bows and swords. Which ones more powerful? The bow. Which one is used more, swords! In capture the flag, you can either go solo to get the flag, or go with a team to get it. Which one is more likely to get the flag? Teams? Which one is done more? Soloing.

My point is that the biggest reason of this happening is because there aren't many classes that have bows that are meant to hit people. We only have archer. There aren't many people teaming to go get the flag because the only two team classes are medic and chemist if used right. Mostly medics because chemists constantly hit their teammates. So medic is the only teaming class most of the time, but not many people want to be a medic, because even though it's a team class it doesn't do combat because of its bad armor and sword. So I came up with an idea that promotes teaming, bows and arrows and combat. Ladies and gentleman, the Elf kit!

The elf kit starts with the following items.

Bow - regular
Full leather
5 arrows
4 steak
1 rose
1 dandelion

From just looking at the inventory you would probably think this is the most UP class in the world. But it's not. Trust me keep on reading.

Elves like to use leather armor and a bow, so they can go fast and shoot quick. If they go into combat with full leather and a strong bow they are very powerful. They are even stronger when teamed with more elves. They also become stronger by killing enemies. Also they are quick on their feet and always speed 1. Not enough to outclass ninja but enough to help in combat and really defeat some enemies. Elves also get the ability to regenerate their arrows at a 5 second rate when crouching and holding their bow.

One using the elf kit can level up to a fully equipped elf by defeating a certain amount of enemies. Leveling does the following things.

Increases the max amount of arrows you can have.
Adds enchantments to your bow.
Gives you a sword.
Strengthens your sword.
Changes armor from leather to diamond.

(Note: it might not do all these things at once but will periodically do this)

A fully equipped elf has,
Full leather (exception of a diamond chestplate)
A power V bow
A max of 20 arrows
Sharpness 1 and knockback 4 stone sword.

Leveling is based on kills, but if teaming will other elves, you can level even faster. There are 2 leveling charts, one for going solo and one for teaming.a (check out the teaming section below)


Team Leveling chart
2 - gains a sword
4 - Max amount of arrows increased to 10
6 - Gains a diamond chestplate
8 - Sword gains sharpness 1 and knockback 2 and bow gains power 1
10 - Max arrows increased to 15
12 - Bow gains power 2
14 - Sword gains sharpness 1 and knockback 4
16 - Arrow max increased to 20
18 - Bow gains power 3
20 - Bow gains power V
Solo Leveling chart
1 - gains a sword
2 - Max amount of arrows increased to 10
3 - Gains a diamond chestplate
4 - Sword gains sharpness 1 and knockback 2 and bow gains power 1
5 - Max arrows increased to 15
6 - Bow gains power 2
7 - Sword gains sharpness 1 and knockback 4
8 - Arrow max increased to 20
9 - Bow gains power 3
10 - Bow gains power V

This class is a counter to dwarves. Your sword is a powerful one and always does 2 hearts of damage to dwarves making a 5 combo to kill a dwarves and does 3 1/2 hearts when doing a critical, take them out in 3-4 shots, take the flag and get out of there.

It actually took me awhile to get this info, but oh well, it was worth it. This info is actually for the people who are wanting to learn some more stuff about archer and my idea. If im wrong please correct me.
Basic outline of how i will be presenting this data. Example:

Class: Soldier
Bow type: Normal
Fully charged: 2.5 - 3 hearts
Medium charged: 1.5 - 2 hearts
Not charged: (I wont be showing this because it will always be 1/2 a heart)

Bow type: Power 1
Fully charged: 4 - 4.5 hearts
Medium charged: 2 1/2 - 3 hearts

Bow type: Power 2
Fully charged: 4.5 - 5
Medium charged: 3 - 3 1/2

More data will come later. Don't worry :D.

This class is meant to be a team class and has many perks when teaming with other elves. You can team with a total of 2 team members.
Right click them with the red rose, to ask them for a team (a message appears on their screen) and if they hit you with their rose, you are now a team. Same with a 3rd member, you all have to hit each other with it. To leave the team, right one of the members of the team with the dandelion.

When teamed up whenever one teammate kills another player you each get the kill if you are in a 10 block range of the player who made the kill. Also you get the strength 1 when your are all in 10 blocks of each other making a powerful melee class when you are a team. This makes a very powerful class and can storm their base and level up fast.

If you respawn and another member of the team is still alive and is within 20 blocks of you when you died, you respawn with you levels halved.

Your sword is mainly for the use of either killing dwarves or hitting enemies Back long enough so you can charge an arrow up and shoot it. But if you are teaming and are a full equipped elf your sword it will do at least 4 1/2 hearts and 5 1/2 hearts at the most.

Overall, this kit is a very powerful one and a great teaming class. Also it's a great counter to dwarves. It can be easily countered by a ninja because they can sneak attack them and get them down in like 4 shots. It's also countered by archer.

This kit has a great capability of getting the flag, they can quickly take the dwarves, shoot the other defenders and sprint out. Your team could easily take them out also. A elf could be a great defending or attacking, but a better attacking class.
