It has 2 shields. That's enough to make it an above average event instantly.

 

The ability is costly for what it does, but will mess up combat math to a small degree.

This is only really going to get used for it's shields, as most Eldar units are pretty high costed.

Eldar do still have some cheap units that get a bonus from it - Harlequin, Survivalist, Guardians for example. Additionally many Eldar units are mobile, so the option to have this hit enough units to really turn round a fight is there. I agree it will be more commonly used for its shields, but that's not to say the text on the card isn't worth 3.

4/5 Because as mentioned, 2 shields and a great effect.

Having played two games with this now - it rocks with mobile units and ALSO the fact that it lasts until the end of the battle makes it a stellar event. The shields are just gravy, IMNSHO. It convinced my opponent to retreat and let me win a key planet in one game so there's that.

Yeah the best thing out of it is that it also helps out your Warlord, now going +1 HLTH until the end of battle isn't that special. Going to 2 ATK with Eldorath is however!
