'''Recommended for:''' Almost noone. This skill is arguably one of the least useful skills in the game. This is because the 100 health this skill offers per turn have a very little impact in combat unless it is used in a very small battle. Small battles are most commonly fought early in the game, and therefore with mostly level 1 and level 2 creatures which have a low health level. As a result, this will rarely heal more than 20-30 health in the early game which has very little impact even then

However this skill is not completly worthless. It can be somewhat useful for a player who manages to get a level 6 or 7 unit early on in the game, typically from undefended level 6-7 dwellings on the map, [[Griffin Conservatory|Griffin Conservatories]] or [[Army Camps]]. These units can be healed for the full 100 health provided by this skill, which, in some cases, greatly helps winning early game battles.

First Aid is one of the least useful secondary skills in the game. At Expert level it only heals 100 health points, which basically means that all creatures up to the fifth level can be fully healed, as will most of the sixth level creatures. However, considering that the healing power the tent only be recieved by one creature, the impact of the First Aid Tent to combats is quite insignificant. Alternative choices for First Aid skill are just more helpful.


==Heroes with a specialty in this skill==
Perhaps the only situtation, where First Aid skill can be advantageous, is that a hero manages to get one or more level 6 or 7 creatures early on in the game (e.g. [[Refugee Camp]]). These units can be used to advance through low-tier wandering creatures by healing them with the tent. This may give a player an early lead in the game and thus even a victory.

Comments & debate

First Aid is one of the least useful secondary skills in the game. At Expert level it only heals 100 health points, which basically means that all creatures up to the fifth level can be fully healed, as will most of the sixth level creatures. However, considering that the healing power the tent only be recieved by one creature, the impact of the First Aid Tent to combats is quite insignificant. Alternative choices for First Aid skill are just more helpful.

Perhaps the only situtation, where First Aid skill can be advantageous, is that a hero manages to get one or more level 6 or 7 creatures early on in the game (e.g. Refugee Camp). These units can be used to advance through low-tier wandering creatures by healing them with the tent. This may give a player an early lead in the game and thus even a victory.
