Mobility

Unlike most Vanguard Class characters, Angela has strong aerial mobility - she can glide across the battlefield with ease. The Assassin's Charge ability makes her harder to pin down, and she can rotate quickly.

Playstyle

Angela is all about carrying out melee attacks. Use the spear while airborne to poke enemies and control the areas. Switch to the axes when you are on the ground and there are multiple enemies around, as the attack rate is significantly faster. Her shield can absorb a lot of damage, so you can confidently play as a frontliner to protect your team.

Ultimate

The Heven’s Retribution ability is a really strong initiation tool. It deals high damage and also binds the enemies in a place for a while. Try using it in a crowded fight to tie multiple enemies at once.
