The most powerful warrior.

Wolf, but you wouldn't claim that Dryads saved you more often than Cyclops, would you?:)
or that Pit Lords are more helpful than Archdevils?

Dryads - no, but Pit Lords - in almost every battle where I get torn to shreds. The same goes for Ents. In many situations, a level 6 unit is much more useful than a level 7 unit.

but with a Rune, it can move very far, and what it does with a Rune of Berserk...

If you give a Dwarf hero Creature Development and a Dark Knight hero - Lavinians, then where are your Runes? That's the point. Runes are the Dwarves' trump card; the Tower faction also has its own advantages.

and of course, almost all level 4 units will leave the Elves in ruins. Elves are good, ideal for the initial push, and they also mow down enemy ranks well in the endgame, but they are by no means all-powerful.
I repeat, it's a pointless argument.

If you play as an Elf, learn Light Magic and support your Archers as much as you can. Otherwise, they will all be taken out... Expert Chaos deals poor damage! They will shoot down: Druids, Berserkers, Demonesses, even Vampires, although a little less effectively. They can even take down Lizards with arrows! The main thing is to shoot them down first... And these are just level 4 units, as we are talking about them. And in general, they deal good damage for their level! In short, comparing level 3 and level 4 units is pointless. But for their tier, Elven Archers are the best. You're right, Loken, everything is relative.
