Tips & Tricks
- Undead characters should keep their distance: either kill them from afar or run away.
- Angels often carry sacred scourges or eudemon blades. If you're not undead or demonspawn, it may be worth killing them in order to steal these, as they are among the best weapons in the game. Just be sure to have an escape plan for when things go pear-shaped.
- It's easy to avoid angels while wandering the Abyss. Just turn around when you see their 5-tile halo effect hit the edge of your LOS.
- Keep in mind that they aren't resistant to cold, acid, or fire damage.
Variant Angels

| A divine agent of Zin. It is a towering winged figure with an aura of brilliant white light. Its face is marked by a scowl, as if its zeal against any real or perceived vice overshadows its goodness. |
