I.e. lots and lots. If humans are all level 0 or 1 for the most part, then Drow should have some type of forced military service, where their training involves actual monster killing on runs (due to necessity from living in the Underdark), and thus the average Drow you meet is a very dangerous foe, like level 4-7 fighter sounds fine as others here have said. I don't think they need too many inherent bonuses or perks, other than darkvision 120 (to be better than the dwarves at it), but sensitivity to normal light (perhaps disadvantage to attack rolls, thus they avoid it because it is their Achilles heel). I want a real mechanical reason for them to stick underground or do nighttime-only raids on the surface. I.e. their footsoldiers are more akin to navy seals. The Drow nobles, OTOH, could have some supernatural enhancements to their breeding stock, such as advantage on all attacks while near their city or something ridiculously OP like that, but put them strictly out of the hands of players.</blockquote>
