The pike formation would be destroyed by the archers on its' back, while skirmishers have no way to attack it before they get swatted. IRL, they draped chain mail over the war elephants, improving their durability even further. I guess you misunderstood what I was saying.

I agree completely on the Mumakill, I was just replying to you saying that 'War-elephants' were nearly impossible to kill without siege equipment, which was wrong.

War-elephants just needed to be baited into a situation were they were over-stressed such as: extended arrow-fire, pike-formations, spears, cavalry-bait, etc.

Like I mentioned before, Mumakill would be absolute beasts, one of their only weaknesses should be running amok.

(Skirmishers would be spear throwers, btw.)
