Does a Death 4 Blessing help them from ending as hoburg milita food ?
Does a Nature 9 blessing (regen, 50% resit Poison) stack with the Snakes Natural 50% Poison resist to 100% Poison immuntiy ?
Does a W9 blessing have other results (melee survival) than a E9 blessing ?

Death 4: Not a bad blessing on a tougher unit but I dont use it much.
Nature 9: the 50% poison resistance does stack, yes. You also get beserk +3, as shovah mentioned.
Water 9: gives quickness and great defense, but is a bad idea to use on a unit with poor starting defense

My instinct is that for this unit the best bless would be N9/E9. You get regen, beserk, and half decent armor. The problem is that your armor is only good, not great. In addition, your units have very little punch with only one attack - thats not much combat power for all the design points you are spending on them! The traditional response to poor combat power is a F9 bless, but you can't do a N9/F9 bless here because the serpents would be slaughtered due to thier low prot + low defense. Really it seems that the Sacred Serpent just isnt a good unit to use for a bless strategy.
