Chosen by Azi Dahaka herself, these Priestesses lead small groups of Fallen Melitine Nobles while terrorising the land in the name of their wicked Goddess. These units belong to elite patrols of the Snake Cult named as, Azi Dahaka Death Cult Marauders. They will only spawn in small numbers (1-3) however they are extremely dangerous.
They wear the High Priestess Snake Armor, a slightly better version of the Priestess Snake Armor. Other parts of their armor set is same with the Serpent Priestess (Snake Gloves, Snake Mask Helm and Priestess Snake Boots). They are equipped with Black Iron Spears, Viper Sabres, Flame Bladed Swords and Broad Head Throwing Spears. Unlike Serpent Priestesses -who useLight Crossbows with standard Bolts - they use Maiden Crossbows with Steel Bolts. Also, they always spawn without a shield.
Their armor is mediocre (some of them can even spawn without a helmet) compared to other elite Snake Cult troops however stats are incredibly high. With 138 STR and 8 Power Strike, they can take out regular units with ease (usually 1 or 2 hit). They also have enormous amount of HP -in fact they are one of the most resistant units in the game- which means you are going to have some trouble while facing them. Despite their mediocre armor and lack of shields -due to their high HP- they can take 4-5 arrows from top-tier archers before going down.
Azi Dahaka Serpent Priestess in 3.9.1
While facing the Death Cult Marauders, try to take them out before going to Fallen Melitine Nobles. They ride Coursers on the battlefield which means they will charge earlier than the Nobles. These troops can't be captured even if the last hit was dealt by a blunt weapon -they always fall dead-. They have one Various Loot and Snake Cult Rituals in their loot pools meaning that they have a slight change of dropping it.
