Learn how to beat Elephants in Total War: Rome II by scaring them with fire arrows or fire pigs to make them run amok.

Elephants are powerful units in Total War: Rome II, designed to break through enemy lines and cause widespread fear. While some believe Spearmen are a good counter, simulations show they are easily defeated by Elephants.

Tips
  • Use fire arrows or fire pigs to scare the Elephants.
  • When scared, Elephants will enter a state called "run amok," which can be used to your advantage.
  • Spearmen are not an effective counter to Elephants.
