Story[]
The Battle Nun appears in the very first mission, "Welcome to the Age of Metal", where one confronts the newly-arrived Eddie Riggs. Numerous Battle Nuns make an appearance during the mission.
After the time lapse where Ironheade has been in Death's Clutch for three months, they appear all across the Western Continent, leading patrols of Soul Kissers and Punishing Parties.

Role[]
Melee infantry, hierarchy unit. Divine and Superior versions available. Slowly heals nearby minions and quickly regenerates her own health when surrounded by minions.
These tall demons use their elongated index fingers to slash enemies and in some instances, can scream with enough force to temporarily disorient a target.
Double Team[]
Doviculus must hold an audience with Battle Nuns to produce Soul Kissers and Punishing Parties. If he holds an audience with a Divine or Superior Battle Nun, he can produce Divine or Superior Soul Kissers and Divine or Superior Punishing Parties.
The Battle Nun is vulnerable to attack while birthing new units, as she cannot move or fight back until the process is complete.

Trivia[]
- The Battle Nuns are voiced by April Stewart, Courtenay Taylor, Megan Hollingshead, and Julianna Buescher.
- Their personalities are an amalgamation of the mean nun stereotype and the dominatrix.
- Additionally, "nun" back in the Elizabethan era was a slang term for prostitute, further alluding to the Coil's sexual and religious themes.
- The units they create have more in connection with the BDSM lifestyle than all of the Coil.
- When the Tainted Coil wins a stage battle, they can sometimes be heard saying rather enthusiastically, "Let's get back home for the orgy!"
- The Battle Nuns in the first and last missions of the campaign have different move set than those encountered in the rest of the game and in multiplayer. These nuns use a scream attack to disorient Eddie, as opposed to their melee strike.
- Their mouths resemble zippers, complete with pull tab on the left side.
