Cultist should take reachable melee exchanges or hold an approach to more valuable units. Before advancing, identify its next target and enemies able to attack it afterward.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 3 and Initiative 4 govern different parts of the turn. This profile lists ability costs of 1 Focus charges; compare them with the shared pool, cooldown and competing activations.

Reading this profile correctly
This profile retains build 25672315, dated 2026-10-10. It is a dated reference export rather than automatic public-beta 0.82 values. Summoned and converted creatures use their own acquisition conditions.
Speed determines movement reach and initiative determines action order. Focus points differ from full charges: normally six points fill one charge. Ability costs use charges; zero identifies a verified free activation. Weekly growth and price exclude hero, law and other bonuses. Summons and conversions have separate acquisition rules. The full inventory of alternative free attacks, turn-ending conditions and some restrictions still needs expansion.
147 profiles from the game-data extract for build 25672315, dated 10 October 2026: 126 town forms across six factions, Fire Larva and 20 neutral profiles, including temporary Avatar and conversion-acquired Lich Dragon. Both alternative upgrades have separate cards. Creature type, attacks, movement, morale and luck remain distinct; abilities list Focus cost and cooldown. Supplementary official-wiki revisions are cited separately. Public beta 0.82 has different balance and additional neutrals; those values are kept separate from this reference build.
