But Lamassu are found in the Dungeon. You can recruit and build them (build and recruit) right after completing the additional quest... Although, I haven't seen much point in them yet.
In the beginning, Orcs are easily defeated by dark elements. Moreover, it's better not to use the elements directly: just summon them behind the enemy and have them defend. Thanks to this, they receive -50% damage due to the general elemental ability. Then you can cast "Drain" on them, and the Orc will no longer be able to kill them.

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
