| “ | Periodically emits Pulse Waves to the surrounding tiles, damaging both allied and enemy units. | ” |
| —Description of operations featuring the Originium Altar |
Originium Altars periodically releases a Pulse Wave that inflicts True damage to both friendlies and enemies in its wake. Therefore, it is prudent to deploy friendly units away from the Altars; otherwise, additional healing is required to mitigate the damage taken. Conversely, try to stall or redirect enemies inside the Altar's radius so that the Pulse Waves' damage will do most of the work.
