Warrior Priest healing-cycle support

Warrior Priest: Warrior Priests can restore nearby units between engagements, giving an army a way to recover health without returning to a Monastery. Their support matters most when the force survives several skirmishes but cannot safely take a full fight yet.

Overview

Warrior Priest: Warrior Priests can restore nearby units between engagements, giving an army a way to recover health without returning to a Monastery. Their support matters most when the force survives several skirmishes but cannot safely take a full fight yet.

Plan and execution

Pull damaged units behind the frontline and let Warrior Priests heal them before the next push. Keep the priests with the moving army and research Fereters when the longer match makes faster healing worth the cost. Use the recovered force to protect a siege line or escort a hero through a dangerous route.

Risks and adaptation

Warrior Priests are support units and can be lost quickly if left on the front edge. Do not delay an urgent objective to heal minor damage, and keep them away from enemy cavalry or ranged focus fire.
