Living Saint

"Battle Sisters, follow me! We shall march to glorious victory!"

An unstoppable juggernaut of Holy Wrath, the Living Saint all but assures a quick and decisive victory when it appears on a battlefield. This angel of death soars over the battlefield, unleashing ruin on the enemy with an awe-inspiring array of powerful abilities. In addition, her connection to the God-Emperor allows her to miraculously resurrect after death. An appearance by the Living Saint generates a large amount of Faith resource, as she calls other devoted Sisters to join her in the fight to cleanse the universe of the heretics that stain the sight of the faithful.

Tactics

The Living Saint has very low health for a Relic unit, but makes up for it with the Miraculous Intervention ability. The Flame of the Ardent Blade ability is best used against large groups of infantry, as this deals a lot of damage and possibly break the morale of the squads. Be aware that this ability does not hit air units. Care should be taken to not lose the Living Saint, as she is a powerful faith generator. Use Fly ability to escape dangerous situations. The Living Saint's low health does not make her a direct assault unit but rather a harassment unit. An attacking Living Saint at the far end of the base would make your enemies retreat and deal with her while your main force would take care of the undefended front of the base. NOTE: Another bug exists wherein a Living Saint revived by Miraculous Intervention would go out and seek enemies even if ordered to retreat so generally if your Living Saint does this, it means she wants to be martyred again. During campaigns, a Living Saint making a direct assault on the enemy's main stronghold (more or so, many strongholds warrant the destruction of a certain building or unit to be conquered) and backed up by Exorcists' Hunter-Killer Missile would surely get easy win. Praise the Emperor.

Note that there is a bug with the Miraculous Intervention ability. When the Living Saint dies and is resurrected, the hard cap of Ecclesiarchal Servitors, Sister Repentia Squads, Rhino Transports, Lightning Fighters, Exorcists, and Penitent Engines will be reduced by one, and the Canoness and Confessor will be unbuildable, until either the Living Saint dies permanently or Miraculous Intervention finishes recharging.
