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. If the Mastodon is destroyed, the passengers will survive, but will take damage. With proper upgrades from Marines, the Mastodon can become one of the most effective all-rounder units in 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.
