Too Buff or Not to Buff? That is the Question

[Alvendor]

One argument for not healing is if you are going for a early soldier push and by not healing you can get more soldiers out/more wits to attack. Opponent generally need snipers to counter this but that can be hard to get out early. Sharkfood comes to mind.

That said, I almost always boost my soldiers, it is just so easy to counter with snipers otherwise. The the exception is vs feedback. If there is a big chance the soldiers will get scrambled it might be better to lead with unboosted ones.
