Rapturous Cultist

Revelation of the crawling chaos and the entity slumbering below has a rather curious effect on the minds of men. For most individuals these realization irreparably twist and warp their minds, ceaselessly tormenting them until they eventually descent into insanity. However, for a few individuals instead of madness, these revelations inspire fanatical devotion. These zealots have flocked to the Estate to worship the nascent god and have completely given themselves over to it both in mind, body and soul. They are ready, willing and eager to lay down their lives to protect it and those who worship it as well.

Behavior
This enemy can be encountered on the first 2 expeditions in the Darkest Dungeon.

With their fast speed, the Rapturous Cultist are likely to act fast at the start of the turn, using guard on one of their damage dealing allies in the front ranks. More rarely, or if their allies already guarded, they will use Flesh to Flesh to be an even greater nuisance and undo any previous damage done via their inhumane healing. It is recommended to use stuns to temporary get them out of the fight and focus on greater threats instead. The Rapturous Cultists don't have any offensive abilities, so if you manage to leave two of them alive, you can spend a few turns healing health and stress.
