==Analysis==
Much like its War Elephant counterpart, its an intimidating beast of a Cavalry Archer, boasting high HP, high damage with splash and an impressive range to boot. On the other hand, its a slow unit, moving slightly faster than most foot archers and therefore unable to escape any counter unit, as well as being harder to train in large lumbers as a fortress unit, on top of being one of the most expensive units in the game. It also lacks any kind of armor or snare resistance both innate and from the Champion Upgrade. Pretty much all of these downsides are addressed in PVP to some degree without really weakening the unit, which goes to show how much the unit actually struggles against skilled players.
HP: It has more HP of any other high HP "Chariot Archer" unit [The Carpentom (350) and the Egyptian (280) + Babylonian (340) chariot archers].
RANGE: Their default attack range is equal to that of the Gastraphetes AFTER the Composite Bow upgrade.
AREA DAMAGE: The Elephant Archers are one of the very few ranged units with "Area of Effect" damage. The Carpentom needs a champion upgrade to get the same AoE as the Elephant Archer, and has 9 less range than the Elephant Archer by default and is barely above half the damage (28 vs 40) . Roughly comparable to the War Wagon.
COMPARED TO PERSIAN WAR WAGON: The Elephant Archers also has better stats than the War Wagon with the same pop cost, and 1 less splash range than it [2 less after War Wagon champion upgrade] while still having 160 more HP in PVE (370 more in PVP). And both champion upgrades, ellies have 200 more HP in PvE and 270 more in PvP, while moving 2.0 speed faster in PvE (1.0 faster in PvP) and dealing 6 less damage in PVE (both with 46 in PVP).
COMPARED TO ADVISOR UNITS: The Elephant Archers are often overlooked, but considering that they are as powerful as an Advisor unit (Helepolis: EA gets more HP and higher pierce damage) (War Chariot: EA gets higher attack range and splash at same pop cost. HP/Damage about the same as the common version) without needing an advisor.
