As someone who learned DE first many years ago they are definitely one of the harder factions to learn to play but you will learn the fundamentals better than any other faction. Getting horrifically punished for not having perfect positioning or not recognizing threat ranges or not assigning enough damage across multiple phases to the right kind of enemy to ensure a kill and not get hit back will make you far, far better at playing venturing forward into more forging armies with some solid defenses. You also learn a lot more careful resource management and how to exploit every tiny advantage you can get through tricks of the mechanics and you especially learn how to trade and sacrifice every unit when necessary to secure the win.
