Healing Orb/1.03.25

Wood Elf
At tier 1, the Healing Orb has little use. With nearly all the Wood Elven units possessing terrible amounts of HP, a fast HP regeneration isn't needed to get them back to full HP, and most the time the units die to a single hit. Elcor's Balm is ludicrously expensive, both for the initial cost and to cast. However, as it requires only crystal, it should be fairly easy to use late game once you have a large collection of Ancient Wisps. But again, with so many Wood Elven units having such little HP, the ability sees little use as there are only a select few units that can take advantage of the ability (and the healing skills for that matter), and those are the Treants and Dragons. Because of this, you could very well wait till later on in the game before building the Healing Orb, but keep in mind that your Hero is also affected by the healing skills and can come in handy early game for Heroes who are constantly harassing the enemy.
