So, I have been experimenting some with Jerome and the Mastodons seem like a nice piece of his arsenal. I have a couple of questions as far as performance for Mastadons that I hope someone knows the answer to:
- Does the global vehicle upgrades increase the offense/defense of the mastodons? Like, if my primary army is mastodons with various troop types, is it worth building a vehicle factory to start upgrading them? I don’t know if global vehicle upgrades have any effect.
- Does garrisoning infantry inside a mastodon increase their performance like garrisoning a tower? Along those lines, does global infantry upgrades further enhance their performance inside the mastodon? I ask because they don’t take damage inside the mastodon while the mastodon takes hits like infantry do inside of a sniper tower, so obviously they don’t receive any substantial defense boost since they don’t take the damage until the mastodon is destroyed, which is a different mechanic than garrisoning a tower.
- Does the T3 mastodon upgrade impact the performance of the mastodon or does it literally only increase capacity?
Thanks for listening. I wish mastodons were a little faster, but I am not sure if increasing their speed would make them borderline OP. They are pretty tanky already, so it seems like a tradeoff to get the firepower they offer for the reduction in mobility… especially in threes. It adds an element of strategy which must be answered before committing to building mastodons.
Also, victory mines are game changers… I love those things.
Well the size increase is the upgrade for every Garrisonable vehicle. They also slightly gain more health every upgrade. And I see Infantry gain veterancy faster because of the Mastadons.

They gain more health when doing the garrisonable units upgrade, or global vehicle upgrades?

Both.
Just to note but fully upgraded marines can heal other mastadon s while they are in one, that’s pretty nears

Believe it or not that’s how I got to Onyx rank with Jerome. Got tired of my Infantry being sniped and this is when Wolverines were severely weak so the Marines would shoot down the Engineers while the Cyclops took care of things like Marauders and Wraiths. They also got Veterancy very fast for some reason.
