* DirtyCoward: Being opportunistic raiders with no greater cause or agenda beyond their own personal desires, Drukhari crews have shit morale and are therefore prone to fleeing the battlefield as soon as the odds turn against them.
* FragileSpeedster: Their vessels are extremely fast, but also extremely fragile.
* LightningBruiser: Their speed is matched by their devastating firepower.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The Drukhari empire runs on slavery, and capturing more is one of the primary goals of every raiding fleet they send out. In gameplay this allows them to replenish their ship's troops count by performing successful boarding actions as they abduct the enemy crew to press into service as cannon fodder.
* SpacePirates: In case their faction name wasn't enough of a hint, Drukhari fleets are infamous for raiding shipping lanes and poorly defended worlds for slaves, shits and giggles. They virtually never participated in greater conflicts before GW's new direction for the ''WH40K'' franchise pushed them into an alliance with the rest of the Eldar race.
* SpikesOfVillainy: They're generally regarded as the second-most evil faction after Chaos, and their ships are covered in nasty-looking blades and spikes all over.
* StealthInSpace: Drukhari ships employ Shadow Fields that turn their ships invisible once fully charged, and charging them is done by speeding away, which they do constantly. If you don't bring enough escort ships into a fight against Drukhari, or lose them too quickly, the pointy ears will tear you to pieces from outside your detection range and there's little you can do about it.

* KillItWithFire: Amusingly for a faction that lacks actual fire weapons, this tends to be their primary method of dealing direct damage to enemy ships. Tyranid pyro-acid weaponry starts a Fire Aboard with every critical hit it lands, and a ship under bombardment from a PA-heavy Tyranid swarm can quickly end up with a dozen simultaneous fires rapidly melting it from the inside.

A single battle barge costs more than two strike cruisers, which are faster, more flexible and have superior combined damage potential overall. Two ships are also more difficult to focus down than one, and losing one of the two still leaves you with half the firepower instead of none at all.
