This is the grand final of fantasy face off- an elven warband meets a Ninja battle group in pitched battle- who wins, and why?

The elven race is gifted with superhuman speed and dexterity, as well as physical immortality. This gives them lifetimes to perfect whatever pursuit they follow - your average elf is between three hundred and a thousand years old, but even an elf 10,000 years old still has the youth and vigor comparable to a human in the prime of his life. Now as these are warbands, it is logical to assume the elves are at the top of their game, if not the elite. They have naturally what humans must train and practice long years for. They also have at least one war mage with each warband, but every elf can do some magic. Ninjas on the other hand are human. They are forced to train as hard as they can for a relatively short number of years, practice their skills for a like amount of time, and then slowly lose those skills to the detriments of age. A typical ninja in a "warband" would be between 25 and 50 years of age. Their speed and dexterity can only reach human limits and can never match an elves' natural grace. In battle the ninjas may enjoy a short advantage with the unfamiliar weaponry they wield, their martial arts skills, and the tricks of feinting, dodging, and seemingly disappearing in front of opponents, but all too soon they would find their shuriken and ninjatos bouncing harmlessly off elven mithril chainmail while the elven weapons slice easily through the padded silk uniforms of the ninja. Even if the ninja are wearing mail, it would be inferior butted link, not rivetted, and would be sewn in patches inside their uniforms over vital areas. Elven arrows would be peppering the air faster than any mortal eye can track, and any mages they have would be casting spells such as Slow, Magic Missile, Entangle, Blind, and Paralyze. Standard ninja tricks such as smoke powder, flash powder, and small incendiary devices would only delay the inevitable. Killing a war mage would be nigh impossible, because any war mage worth his training walks into battle with several protections already cast, the most notable of which are Protection from Missiles, Stoneskin, Shield, and Circle of Protection. And if the Elves are Drow elves, then it would be even worse, with them levitating, fighting upside-down and permanently limning the ninjas with faerie fire and globes of Darkness centered on specific ninjas. Even if the ninjas have magical aid I still think that centuries of battle experience will win the day. And as for the cute side - the cutest that High Elves get is asking a dwarf if he'd like a box to stand on. And Santa obviously employs tinker gnomes, not elves.
Winner: Elves (but it would be a long, drawn-out, hard fought battle, because it would take a while to track the ninjas down - but once they had them cornered, they'd be toast..)
Advantage: War Mages, lifetimes of experience, and superior weapons and armor.

The Ninja. Do not get me wrong. Elves are cool. They are fast and keen, immortal and know how to move swiftly. Elves are deadly, too. Very dangerous.
But you have to understand that elves have a cute side, too. I mean they help shoemakers, and they help old ladies and even Santa can't get by without a couple of helpful elves.
Ninjas don't have a cute bone in their bodies. Ninjas are death machines. And while ninja might not be immortal, we'll that doesn't matter cause you can't kill what you can't see. Plus, they wear those cool masks!

this is not quite as clear cut as Lord_bear makes out Elves are a proud race and eschew the use of allies thier training is worked over a relativly short period of time during thier youth (around 30 yrs) when they go of and follow a variety of different life paths. the ninja spend thier entire lives in training delving deep into super natural forces, so a single warmage in a band of elven warriors would find himself over whelmed by the numbers of ninja sorcerers, as every ninja is to some degree a sorcerer, the ninja are also trained by the tengu (a japanese war spirit/demon) which would give them the combat skills to kick elves all over creation and back

If the elves are like Legolas in LOTR then the ninjas had better get out while they can. I still say Legolas' dropping of the giant mumakil in the Return of the King is the greatest feat in the history of cinema.

I would have to say ninjas cos elves seem to have died off nowadays of but ninjas are still around. Anyway, ninja is someone who has to have trained very hard but elf is just a race.
Go ninjas!

It's going to be Elves. They have a certain magic that Ninjas lack AND pointy ears.

Elves. They would kick out the kneecaps of the ninjas and you know that ninjas can't fight without the use of their legs.
