STRATEGY
- Work best alone, but you can also screen them with lights and then carefully maneuver them towards the enemy lines (Your enemy is unlikely to attack your screen with his heavies as then you can respond with your elephants after your screen simply evades away).
- Send them in first, avoiding lights and searching for some heavies to combat.
- They are most effective in the midst of the enemy thanks to their rampage when they rout.
