Elites

Elites are a type of enemy in Vermintide 2. Generally, Elites are harder to kill and hit harder or faster than Infantry units.

The Elite type includes:
 * Stormvermin
 * Stormvermin (Shield)
 * Plague Monk
 * Mauler
 * Savage
 * Chaos Warrior

Power Bonus
As Elites are a category rather than a type game-mechanically speaking, the player needs different weapon properties for a damage bonus, depending on the Elite:
 * The Power vs Armoured property gives Heroes extra damage against Stormvermin (also shielded) and Chaos Warriors.
 * The Power vs Berserker property gives Heroes extra damage against Plague Monks and Savages.

Strategies

 * As Elites pose a bigger threat than Infantry, focus you defensive attention towards them when encountering them together (e.g. during a horde).
 * Stormvermin and Maulers have an overhead slam which should be dodged rather than blocked, as the slam can instantly break your stamina bar and stagger you.
 * The Berserkers (Plague Monks and Savages) often spawn in groups of two or three. Be sure to take out all of them.
