orc warriors are t2 and won't oneshot ever it's own t2 equivalent elvish hero, sure, line infantry will kill lot of t1 specialists, but that's expected: wesnoth has a lot of attrition by design, as it's a necessity, because just piling units leads to long, boring turns anyway, elves have piles of slow, which is the natural counter to high damage low attack units.

Elvish Hero is the highest HP Tier2 unit of the elves. If you go down the list: Orc Warrior has a high chance of killing Elvish Marksman, Elvish Ranger, Elvish Sorceress, and other incredibly valuable units. And remember: this is a hex-grid system. That means every unit in a line will fight against 2-units per opponent's turn. The Orc Warrior by itself already has a high chance (~20% chance) of killing T2 units under typical circumstances (equal flat terrain at night: advantage to Orcs for sure but its not that uncommon a situation). If you're dealing with two of them, that's pretty much GGs. You're basically hoping for misses. And that's optimal placement: you can't get any "better" than 2-units fighting vs your frontline units. With bad positioning, you might have 3-enemies or 4-enemies fight a unit (especially if those enemies have Zone-of-Control immunity, like Fencers)
