An ''Elite'' is a monster type in Diablo III.

==Overview==

Elite monsters are any monster which have special attributes not normally found on their base type. [[Champions]], Rares, and also [[Superunique]] monsters are all considered "elite". The term is a categorical definition which ties into some of the gameplay systems. As an example, some [[item]] [[modifiers]] increase damage to elite monsters by a specific percent. Elite kills are tracked in the player's [[armory]] as well as [[achievements]] for killing a specific number and type of elites.

~~===Nephalem Valor===~~

Once a player reaches level 60, they are granted a [[buff]] called [[Nephalem Valor]]. In brief, this buff is received whenever a player kills a rare or champion elite pack, and it grants them passive bonuses to [[Magic Find]] and [[Gold Find]]. This buff stacks up to five times. When the player has the buff on, they will receive more loot from [[quest]] boss [[superuniques]]. The amount of bonus loot is determined by how many valor stacks the player has accumulated. The buff lasts for thirty minutes, and is refreshed upon killing an elite pack. Killing elites for the buff, and then finishing it off with a quest superunique kill, comprises the [[end game]] in Diablo III.

===Special Attributes===

As an example, shown in the image below, it isn't uncommon to spawn two different elite packs in one small area within the [[Halls of Agony]]. The image depicts a rare cultist pack spawn in addition to a champion berserker spawn. Also, the mid-western side of the [[Desolate Sands]] zone is particularly deadly, with three or more elite packs spawning at once not being an uncommon sight.
