Team Elisabeth

Team Elisabeth is a reoccurring Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team is formed by Elisabeth Blanctorche and some characters who have aligned with her, acting as the Rivals Team in the Tales of Ash saga. The first formation occurs in The King of Fighters XI, with Elisabeth, Duo Lon (who left the "Hero Team" after discovering Ash Crimson's real intentions) and Benimaru Nikaido (who enters to the team at Elisabeth's invitation). In The King of Fighters XIII, Shen Woo replaces Benimaru.

In KOF XIII, the team can be sometimes count as Tales of Ash' s last Team Hero at a same time, due to Ash's purpose to go solo and his supposed villainous role, and Elisabeth being the last true main protagonist of the saga. After this game, with Ash erasing from the existence, his confirmed ressurection afterwards and with the noblewoman joining her friend in a new formation of Team Ash, the team was automatically disbanded.
