That's intended, he is a scout! The fighting is done by the elite cavalry he can summon instead.

Hello,
It will be quite a long post because it's a bug I kinda like :D

But now, I'm starting to learn multiplayer and that's exploit put me ill-at-ease.
It's not specific to Edain however, it is also the case in vanilla and I guess other people know it but this point is relevant for a discussion I think;

The exploit is this : flying units recover health each time they land and get back to fly.
This mechanic can be abused by making a flying unit repeatedly land and fly in a quick succesion, making its health bar going from red to green very quickly.

And there is a twist : the more hit point the unit has, the more exponentially powerful the recover is. You will notice Smaug level 1 recover not that much. But a level 10 fire dragon, with a lot of hit points can pass in one land from orange to full health.

That mechanic I would personnaly like either to be withdrawn or either to be improved.

If it is technically possible to deter flying units recovering health that way, that's OK.

However I like this type of recover that make sense, compensate the time of getting out of its mount, but in that case, there would be 2 things to improve :

-making the mount button desactivated for 5 or 10 seconds between each use.
-getting rid of the exponential effect, without maybe negating a more powerful effect for more powerful units, but no more exponential, for example, it could make a 15% recover of its health bar, still advantageous for powerful units, but not crazy op.

And maybe this mechanic of recovering health could incite also a more versatile gameplay for heroes with horses. It would be fun to make this system for those like Eomer and Theoden, with maybe only a 5 % recover of their full health, and a temporary desactivation of their mount button (not long, I daresay 5 or 10 seconds), that would incite to change the way we use them.

And the description of the mount button should in that case mention this extra effect.

This will be fixed in the next patch
