War Elephant
The Persian unique unit. A massive cavalry unit with tremendous HP and attack power. Slow but nearly unstoppable in combat.
Tactical Briefing
You're piloting a 450 HP beast with 15 attack that gets bonus damage vs buildings. Your War Elephant is the ultimate siege-support unit - you can tank arrows while smashing through enemy walls. But at 0.8 speed, you're incredibly slow. Halbs deal massive bonus damage and monks can convert you. Never attack without pike protection and anti-monk units like Light Cavalry.

Strategic Analysis

- Push Power: Use War Elephants to tank for archers and siege. Nothing survives long in melee against them.
- Building Crusher: +30 bonus vs buildings makes you excellent at destroying Town Centers and Castles.

Warning: **Halberdiers and Monks are your doom**. Halbs deal 60+ bonus damage and monks convert you easily. Always have Light Cavalry to snipe monks.
