It is still advisable to create an Engineer however, as it can be used to heal other units on the battlefield, allowing for a multi-front attack. It is best to leave a contingent of two [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions]] or three [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]] to defend it, adding more units as the battle progresses. It can also be used as a launching point for attacks, as it is in the middle of the map and all units will be at full health.

It may be related to the [[Regenerator]], due to their similar design and function, along with the Regenerator's possible Forerunner origins.


There will also be enemy units trying to heal themselves, so holding this spot is crucial for a victory. There are also allies who will need to use this space occasionally, so it is best for the player to move their units to the side to allow their ally to utilize this advantage.
