What Elephant's Guard does

Raises squad health for two hours.

Pairs with the Alpha Black Panther. Health keeps the squad alive, lethality makes the kills stick.

Elephant's Guard raises squad health for two hours, the buff that keeps a march alive through a long fight. The War Elephant is the main-march pet for castle battles where the same troops fight round after round.

Trigger it here:

In extended fights where the same troops go back in several times.
Alongside a lethality or attack buff, since health decides how long those get to apply.

What it costs to level

Every figure here is counted out of the full level table, so it is the cumulative Pet Food you spend to reach that level, rather than the cost of the single step.

Milestone	Cumulative Pet Food
Level 15	12,075
Level 30	42,275
Level 100 (max)	834,625

At level 100 the Ironclad War Elephant carries a 33.52% troop attack and defense bonus and 2,413,440 power. That bonus applies whether the skill is on cooldown or not, which is why a pet you never trigger is still worth levelling.

Pet Food cost and the troop bonus are set by the generation, so two pets of the same generation cost exactly the same to raise. Their power and their skill are what differ.

Where it sits in the chain

The Beast Cage unlocks in waves by server day, and most pets also need the previous one at a set level.

Becomes available on server day 370, once you have Regal White Lion level 30.

Tips worth knowing

Health and defense are different stats. Running the Regal White Lion and the War Elephant together covers both.
By this generation a single pet costs 834,625 Pet Food to max, so a deep Cheetah and Lion are what make it affordable.
