In my opinion, Elves are very strong. Firstly, the "Arch-Enemy" skill is a very powerful ability for the hero. Secondly, their army is aggressive and proactive (only the Treants have an initiative of less than 10, unless you consider the "Wrath of the Forest" ability of their new upgrade, in which case their initiative is also more than 10). Thirdly, they have the strongest ranged attack. Fourthly, the "Enchanted Arrow" ability is quite valuable, and the new upgrade for Druids will help with it. Fifthly, they have excellent balance within the race itself, which leaves few weak points in attack and defense! Sixthly, they have very strong heroes from the Sylvan faction.
The weak point in the attack of the Forest Elves is the attack itself. It barely increases for the hero. So, playing against races with high defense is not ideal, despite their initiative. What is the real difference between the hero's arrow with a spell and a regular spell? Only about 250 damage, which doesn't really matter. And the mana will run out quickly with the "Arch-Enemy" ability. And you still need to coordinate the Druids and the hero. So, you can always find their drawbacks.
