Mastodons are exclusive to [[Jerome-092]] and can be made at the [[Firebase]] once the leader power has unlocked them. They perform okay against infantry but poorly against vehicles, aircraft, and structures. Due to their low offensive power, Mastodons benefit greatly from a complement of Marines. The survivability of the infantry depended on their remaining health when they were on board Mastodon. If the Mastodon is destroyed with the passengers in full health, they will survive and take damage. But, if the Mastodon is destroyed with a heavily wounded infantry, the infantry will also be killed. With proper upgrades from Marines, the Mastodon can become one of the most effective all-rounder units on the battlefield. In [[Blitz]], Mastodons cost 60 energy. | Mastodons are exclusive to [[Jerome-092]] and can be made at the [[Firebase]] once the leader power has unlocked them.
