Faction hub
Papal States Faction
Papal States is a supporting faction tag for several strong Legendaries. It rarely defines an entire endgame mono-board the way Iria/SoC can, but it is excellent for hybrid aura math when units already wear multiple tags.
8 units in the SoC Wiki database share this tag.
Playstyle
Treat Papal States as a secondary aura. Prioritize role correctness, then count tags. Multi-faction units (e.g. Col) make breakpoints easier.
Build priority
Build the best unit you own that happens to be Papal States—do not force weak units just for the tag.
