The Elephant Rush is one of the fastest if not the fastest rush for the UNSC in Halo Wars. This strategy works great against newbs and pros alike but can still be countered.
I am playing on HEROIC as usual. Step by step below the video.
Step 1: Build Elephant
Step 2: Create Supply Depots with the rest of your money
Step 3: Send warthog out to gather supplies
Step 4: Build marines from the elephant while supply depots are coming up
Step 5: Maintain balance of Marines always being trained and Supply depots always being built at the same time.
Step 6: Once supply depots are all built charge towards the base
Step 7: Target center building and shoot enemies as they come out
Step 8: Lock Elephant infront of base and keep pumping out marines and flame guys
Optional
Step 9: You should have a bunch of money by now – recycled a supply depot and create reactor to get the MAC cannon up and ready JUST in case.
Ok this is my Warthog Rush Strategy on Heroic. Alot of people were bitching my other rush didn’t count because it was on easy….SOOOO its now on Heroic.
This is a pretty simple rush but speed is of the essence AS usual with any RUSH.
Step 1: Build 2x Supply Pads, 1x Reactor – IN THAT ORDER
Step 2: Build 2x Supply Pads and with the remaining 150 – buy another warthog
Step 3: Send your current warthog searching for supplies
Step 4: Once 2x Supply Depots and Reactor are built – RESEARCH Gunner
Step 5: Keep building warthogs – your base should ALWAYS be working on a warthog after this
Step 6: Build last 2 supply pads
Step 7: Once you have a sizable force – CHARGE ahead
Step 8: When you encounter the Prophet of Regret concentrate ALL fire power on him
Step 9: Build Turrets If You Want…
Step 10: Move Rally Point To Enemy Base
Step 11: Concentrate fire on center of base and MAC blast it for good measure
That is the warthog rush that has never failed me yet. The Covenant have to be dealt with quickly or they will over power you I have found.

Step 9: Monitor Battle and Kill Torrents and Other Enemies
