== Behavior ==
Ancient Priests seem to prioritize casting Miasma over Horror.{{Citation}} They stay in the back and are guarded by a few skeletons, but will advance to get in range of their attacks. They can cast spells even if engaged in melee.

Their armor does not drop.

== Tips ==
* They resist ranged attacks and don't pose much threat. Only should be prioritized if an opportunity arises.
* [[Miasma (0 fatigue)|Miasma]] punishes an overly defensive playstyle and may force your brothers to break formation.
* [[Horror (0 fatigue)|Horror]] can rout low morale brothers and make damage dealing brothers [[Horrified (Status Effect)|skip turns]].
* Horror counts as a mental attack, so [[Witchhunter (Background)|Witchhunters]], [[Undead Trophy]] and [[Protective Runes and Sigils]] are effective against it.
* [[Bundle of Throwing Axes|Throwing Axes]] are required for your ranged brothers to be effective.
