{{:Hand-to-Hand Attack (5 fatigue)}}
|}

==Behavior==
You can encounter Cultists only in the [[Religious Peasants]] and [[Come Across Ritual]] events. Both encounters are avoidable. Both feature exactly 25 of them.

==Tips==
* If not in late game, don't press the "Let's see where they're going" option. This encounter can wipe an entire squad.
* [[Nimble]] makes them quite tough.
* Prioritize those armed with [[daggers]]. [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]] with [[Crippling Strikes]] and [[Executioner (Perk)|Executioner]] can be dangerous without [[Nimble]] and even with it.
* [[Backstabber]] and [[Fast Adaptation]] compensate their average melee skill.
* They will [[Overwhelm]] you, unless you are faster, use [[Adrenaline (20 fatigue)|Adrenaline]], [[Throwing Net|nets]], [[Dazed (Status Effect)|daze]] or [[Staggered (Status Effect)|stagger]].
