confessor smite one shots most of the medium infantry and celestians have terminator armour for a very cheap price. but SoB is considered weak.

I assume you ask because Josh Strife recently did a DoW review and this was a throw away line he said. Not OP overall i'd say weakest race in the game, the only time they where OP was initial release of game as they had a exploitable money bug.

By far their best unit is Celestians as it has good durability, AV, FotM, fairly cheap so pretty spammable and provides faith. Seraphim are good t1 harassing unit but fall off after t1 much like Raptors do. Deathcult Assassin are very strong vs elite troops and commanders, but won't do anything against mass armies, they are also probably one of the better DPS options SoB have against Daemon High enemies (Bloodthirster + Avatar etc) they still don't hold a candle to Grey Knights or Mega Armored Nobs against Daemon High though.

Confessor has some really strong abilities with big nuke and long stun, but does requires faith he's probably the 2nd best unit SoB have. Penitent Engine is a fast siege walker unit but it's t4 many t4 vehicle are strong it's why they are t4. Exorcist provides really good troop disruption but that's all it does but it does do it well. If you can mass Lightning Fighters they are a quick versatile DPS unit and very good at assassinating commanders not really a threat in small numbers though. The rest of their units are medicore to trash compared to other races versions. I'd say Immolator is probably a top contender for worst vehicle in the game.

There was an old bug that made their Relic Unit (The Living Saint) *literally* completely invincible to any sort of damage, but that was the only thing "OP" about SoB and that bug was fixed decades ago.
