The Elephant Archer is a cavalry archer unit unique to the Indians civilization, and are featured in Age of Empires II: The Forgotten.

Overview
Elephant Archers have lots of HP, Pierce Armor and deal the same amount of damage as the Cavalry Archer line, but with a slightly lower attack rate. Despite being mounted, Elephant Archers move quite slow, even slightly slower than the regular foot archer line, but they are still faster than Persian War Elephants. They suffer the same extra high attack bonuses as the Persian War Elephants do.

Elephant Archer have more HP than any other Archer in the game, even the War Wagon didn't get close. They pack the durablity of a War Elephany to the powerful range and attack of a Cavalry Archer. They have extermly high HP and pierce armour that creating and Elephant Archer is comparible to bulding a mobile Tower. They are the main Damage soaker of the Indian army as they lack Knights. Their HP allows them to soak a lots of damage and even more arrows.

Because of their high pierce armor, they are also good as an anti-archery unit. But they are vunarable to Pikemen as they share the Elephant Armour of Persian War Elphant so they suffer they extra damage, but due to their range less vunurable.

They benefit from upgrades such asFletching, Bodkin Arrow, and Bracer for range and damage,Padded Archer Armor, Leather Archer Armor and Leather Archer Armor for  armour (all Blacksmith upgrades) Chemistry (at the University) for damage, Husbandry increases speed and Bloodlines.
