- Spear and Mangonel method: Use the Mangonel first in order to take out the healers. Mangonels are effective as you don’t need to be very precise with their aim as they deal splash damage. Once the healers are out you can easily take out the elephants using spears.
- Russian Headcannon method: Russian Headcanons deal massive damage to the elephants. And if you can stack up a lot of them you can even take out the elephants in one hit.
Remember there are two types of elephants in Age of Empires IV. They are the War Elephants and Tower War Elephants.
