====Cults====
*'''Succubus:''' Buff Vector for your {{WH40Kkeyword|<wych cult>}} units. Still only 4 attacks, but there are now so many ways to get around this limitation or make the most of what she can do that it hardly matters anymore. She lets Wyches reroll 1s To Hit in melee, which, for her and from turn 3 on for everything will probably mean they will be hitting on 2+ rerollable (yay!). The Succubus herself comes stock with an Archite Glaive, which lowers her Hit rolls to 3+, but if you absolutely must ensure you hit she comes with an Agonizer as well (the Glaive will usually outperform it anyhow, even against infantry). Her 4++ Dodge Save (that works outside of close combat now! Double yay!) will also keep her safe that much longer and don't ever forget about her drugs. All in all, this codex is exactly what the Succubus needed to truly shine as a badass leader for your Wyches!
** Succubi can (and should) swap the Agonizer for a Blast Pistol, which can deal with the heavily armored targets they struggle with in melee.
** You can also replace both the glaive and agonizer with a wych cult weapon. For the love of Khaine, do this! Don't take the Razorflails, though, you're wasting the re-rolls to hit and the extra attack or two aren't worth it compared to the other options. but Hydra Gauntlets can also be nice to make sure your attacks have a better chance of wounding, and the shardnet & impaler are definitely the best of the three against anything with more than one wound.
** The Red Grief Succubus can be one of the best and cheapest duelists of the Drukhari. First, with the specific Archite Glaive Relic 'The Blood Glaive' (which you should absolutely take because it doesn't have a negative modifier to hit like the stock weapon!) and Adrenalight she can make 5 S6 AP-3 DD3 attacks which will basically never miss, or with Grave Lotus 4 S7 attacks and if you fancy dropping a couple of CP on Hyperstimm Backlash to make her S8, you can giggle at the mental image of your Succubus bisecting tanks and Dreadnoughts with her Glaive. That alone makes her quite good, but add the Red Grief Warlord trait, and she reaches a 3++ Inv save - or take Stimm Addict for both A5 and S7 at the same time (still not usually worth it, but your mileage may vary). Throw in a Blast Pistol as well for good measure and it only costs 60 points total for a model that can go toe-to-toe with characters and monsters that are double or sometimes even triple her points cost! A true champion of the Commorrite arenas!
** Another option is to take a Cult of Strife Succubus with a Triptych Whip and just bury your opponent under the sheer volume of attacks. 8 Poisoned Attacks (9 with the +1 Attack Drug) at AP-2 is nothing to sneeze at.
** A Cursed Blade Succubus with hydra gauntlets, the Precision Blows trait, and Traitor's Embrace relic may be useful to deal with almost any target character thanks to amount of mortal wounds she can cause.
** Take a Cursed Blade Succubus with the Treacherous deceiver trait, Traitor's embrace relic and a shardnet and impaler and watch as enemy HQs have no choice but to kill your 55 pt succubus and take ALL the mortal wounds in return. You'd be giving up slay the warlord, but in games where that isn't worth any points - or if you're using Alliance of Agony so your Succubus wasn't the real warlord anyway - this can be a hilariously effective character assassin.
'''Ynnari note:'''
A thing to keep in mind with a Ynnari Succubus, you get a quality of life bonus. Simply put your reroll 1's bubble will not only affect your Wych units but your other Ynnari Drukhari too! Kabalites, Wyches, Incubi, etc. This opens up a wide variety of opportunities so be mindful of the tricks you can pull that the others can't
