Overall Presentation

Elementals are armored infantry of the Clans. Elementals are genetically bred to be the largest and strongest of the three common Clan warrior phenotypes. They wear battle armor which gives them tremendous strength, protection, and mobility, and allows groups of Elementals to damage or even destroy 'Mechs. Elementals are some of the best soldiers existing, and follow difficult training, in different version from one Clan to another. From Sibko, only a few chosen reach the status of Elemental.

Elemental armors

When the Inner Sphere first encountered elementals, it was thought these might be alien invaders due to the odd look of the different suits they generally bear. Elementals usually fight with Elemental (battle armor) but other suits are also beared by Elementals such the Hauberk Battle Armor, Gnome Battle Armor, Purifier Battle Armor, Undine Battle Armor, Sylph Battle Armor and the so-called Clan Battle Armor.

Wolf Dragoons Elementals usually fight with Elemental (battle armor) but also some Inner Sphere battle armor refits (some Clan Nova Cat's Elementals have been seen fighting with Draconis Combine Kage Battle Armor). More recently, around 3138, some Wolf Dragoons Elemental were seen sporting a brand new Black Wolf Battle Armor.

Elemental armors bear incredible weaponry for their size, and can also take tremendous punishment with first aid and drug administration systems, giving an Elemental the ability to survive heavy wounds while the armor is able to seal-off the opening and, by the way, create a war-madden beast. The most known system is the so-called HarJel, included in the Elemental (battle armor).

Clan Organisation

Under the Clan military organization system, a Point of elementals consists of five warriors. A Star is composed of 5 points, a total of 25 elementals.

Clan tactics

The Clans count some of the best Battlemechs ever created, but their strenght is also due to their Elementals Stars. Thanks to their powerful battle armors, Elementals are usually feared, due to their alien size and suit appearance, and use this fear against their ennemies. Elementals are often seen with Battlemechs, to create combined arms assault, and Clan Battlemechs usually sports pods where Elementals can hang or sit on. One of the most used tactics, developped during the 3050 Clan Invasion, is called "Headhunters". Elementals Stars infiltrate ennemy lines, supported by Clan Omnimechs look for some officers or headquarters and use the surprise effect to destroy commanding chain in a lighting attack, creating chaos in ennemy lines. This kind of tactic is seen with Elemental (battle armor) bearers, using their jump jets fast speed. Elementals are also feared for their ability to destroy 'Mechs with only a few of them, swarming the hull of the ennemy Battlemech and wrapping whole armor sheets, thanks to the incredible strenght their armors give them.

Inner Sphere equivalent

No Inner Sphere equivalent is known. However, the Grey Death Battle Armor is one of the best challenger Inner Sphere can offers, but this armor lacks the strenght and the size an Elemental has. More recently, during the Age of Destruction, new brand of Battle Armor have been created since the Jihad, such the Inner Sphere Battle Armor, and most of the Great Houses possess battle armors that can equal Elemental results.
