The MC-269388 report states that when wearing elytra, the crushing mace attack does not activate when hitting a target. However, based on the mechanics described in the MC-270393 report, a player can gain the necessary height to accumulate mace damage during flight, and then quickly remove the elytra just before landing and striking the target. This allows for an instant crushing attack, as the elites will no longer be equipped to block the effect at the time of impact.
