How and When To Play

Angela is a high mobility Vanguard, so if you are someone who likes to play very aggressively and if you enjoy melee characters, she is a perfect pick for you.

Like with any other high mobility tank, the most important thing is setup before the fight. Remember to charge your passive so you can burst targets faster. Position yourself so you can easily attack the backline and not stand in front of long-range characters that can damage you easily. You need to be fast in and out, if you overstay your welcome, you are done.

Try to grab someone with your shift and remove them from the safe zone, then you and your team can easily focus target.

Angela can also be played similarly to Venom. Coordinated dive with your team will be an easy win, especially if you ban anti-dive characters before the game. Even if you don’t, teamwork is very hard to counter.

First, charge up your passive, then place yourself as high as you can so you can have a better view of the enemy team. Then, when they are slowly going forward, call your dive and smash the backline with your team using your E. Try to burst or grab a target fast and get out before the rest of the enemies come to catch you.

Don’t forget to use your shield to save yourself and your team from unnecessary damage.

Your Ultimate is another way to dive into the backline easily, or you can just CC duelsits who are trying to get your backline and finish them off. It would be smart to call your ult before you use it.

• Setup before the fight.
• Charge your spear before you engage.
• Don’t take unnecessary damage from long-range heroes. Use your shield if you don’t have cover.
• Call your dives and your grabs with shift so you can burst targets down easily together.
• Use your ult to eliminate their backline or protect yours by grabing enemy dives.

Abilities and How To Use Them

(LClick) flying mode: SPEAR OF ICHORS
Lunge forward with your spear, dealing damage that increases with Attack Charge. At full charge, Spear of Ichor can deal more damage and launch up enemies.
– This is your main damage dealer, and it would be smart to charge it up before engaging so you can surprise enemies more easily. Don’t forget you can combo it with your melee because you have some free time between attacks, so don’t waste it.

(LClick) walking mode: AXES OF ICHORS
Alternate powerful strikes forward with twin axes, dealing increased damage as Attack Charge grows. The fourth strike propels you forward in a swift dash.
– It does lower damage than a spear, but it attacks faster, so it’s very good in close range.

(Q) HEVEN’S RETRIBUTION
Wrap your spear in ribbons and hurl it with force. Upon impact, the ribbons bind nearby enemies. Angela can leap to the spear’s location, damaging surrounding enemies and creating a Divine Judgement Zone.
– Amazing for diving backline but also protecting yours by grabing enemy dives.

(LShift) ASSASSIN’S CHARGE
Enter an accelerated dash state, becoming immune to knock-back and launch-up. Enemies struck head-on are carried through the air for a short distance.
– This is her most important ability. Grabing the right target can change the fight instantly. You can grab even two characters but not more than that.

(E) DIVINE JUDGEMENT
Dive downward, switch to twin axes and infuse the ground with Ichors to create a Divine Judgement Zone upon impact. Within the zone, gain enhanced Speed and attacks grant Bonus Health to self and nearby allies.
– Diving into the enemy backline with this ability and coordinate it with your teammates should be an easy pick.

(E) WINGBLADE ASCENT
Take to the skies, switching back to Spear of Ichors.

(RClick) SHIELDED STANCE
Transform Ichors into a shield, gaining Attack Charge when absorbing damage.
– Amazing to protect yourself and your team when there is no cover.

(Passive) SERAPHIC SOAR
Glide freely through the air. Continuous flight builds Attack Charge.
– Very important to charge before the attack.

TEAM- UP
CELESTIAL COMMAND
Angela shares fragments of her Ichors with Thor, empowering him to hurl a Thunder Spearthat restores Thorforce for each enemy struck. Afterward, Thor can leap to the spear’s explosion point, dealing a second wave of damage to all enemies within range.

Suggested Combos

• Squishy targets combo: Melee>Primary>Shift>Melee>Primary – Keep in mind your primary attack needs to be fully charged. If it isn’t, you will need to primary attacks in the end.
