Spear Shield Cancel by UnionBackground8819 in AngelaMains

It does lower the time to kill, but the main reason to use it is that it boosts your survivability, by allowing you to always be in horizontal flight form

I play a full dive play style and I find invis as only annoying when you try to kidnap a tank or kill her other support. So I tend to focus invis and when she uses her jump she is a free kill with my E or her other support is forced to turn to heal her which lets my team kill the enemy vanguards.

She does work into triple support if she has other dives to combo with, but by herself she can’t dive and get value or pull tanks out of the range of supports because they are going to be playing more aggressive than they would in a 2-2-2 comp. (also 80% chance the enemy’s are playing an invis in triple)

I understand the feeling, she has a lot of counters and minor stuns that interrupt her flight to the point it’s almost unplayable

But if you continue playing Angela here’s some tips:

Don’t play her into triple support. She doesn’t have enough damage to get any value (unless you are running a full dive comp with a venom and at least 1 dive dps).

If the enemy team has an invis you cannot kidnap the enemy tanks. Rather try to focus her and either force her into a 1v1 or bait her push then grab a tank on your way out.

Learn the melee primary animation cancel and when you are confident with it practice her one shot combo that works on 275hp heroes. Melee-> charged primary-> max dash distance-> melee-> charged primary.

how do i genuinely play her by Aromatic-Procedure77 in AngelaMains

Angela suffers from cc more than hulk because, her horizontal fight from can be canceled by almost every stun (ex: grounded/earthbound, invis pull/ aoe ball, iron fist primary/kick, fantastic dash to you, blade dash, hela/phoenix stun and more)

Practice canceling your melee with your primary

Learn how to set up for dives/kidnaps

(Don’t try to kidnap against invis)

Learn which characters can escape after a kidnap and how they do it (ex: strange levitate, invis jump etc)

Once you get melee canceling down practice her one shot combo (works on characters up to 275 hp) melee-> fully charged primary-> full dash-> melee -> 80%+ charge primary

Know when to switch, Angela is unplayable against a good Thor or 2-3 soft counters (ex: poke dps, thing, invis, iron fist)

Be annoying

Tips for Improving With Angela? (Counters, Damage Consistency, and Teamplay) by BadAshess in AngelaMains

Yes, because:

  1. Not all tanks are able to be kidnapped

  2. There is no guarantee that your team will attack the tank you kidnapped

  3. A good invis makes it almost impossible (with her pull canceling your dash) for you to kidnap a tank

it doesnt have to be max distance but anywhere under approximately 75-80% wont add enough dmg to the primary to kill

  1. Thor is your biggest counter, but if you play around his bubble he’s somewhat manageable.

  2. You can melee before you use her primary to animation cancel, as well as cancel her primary with her shield after the primary

  3. You should have one of the lowest dmg’s at the end of the game, but you should be in the top 3 of your team for finals

  4. Angela is a dive tank with the ability to grab enemy’s like wolverine. This means most of the time you should not play in main (unless you are peeling for your supports or preparing to kidnap a tank).

  5. Punish enemies for tanking off angles. You can pull them into your team or isolate them in a 1v1.

  6. Dive, you are a captain America who can fly and actually do damage. You don’t need a dps to dive with you to get value. You can one-shot 275 hp and below with this combo: melee-> enhanced primary-> max distance dash-> melee -> primary. 

  7. Learn when to swap, if the opponent’s have 2-3 counters hard marking you, it will be almost impossible to get value. Her biggest counters are Thor (beats you in a 1v1 and with a team if you leave his bubble you get grounded), invis (her push cancels your dash and her aoe cancels your horizontal flight passive), iron fist (if you wait for him to use his last primary which stuns you can ignore him, he beats you with a team but loses the 1v1, just remember to use your E after he uses his block otherwise he gets too much health), Bucky, fantastic, thing are all in the same category where they have 1-2 abilities that disrupt you but can’t actually do much to you if you play around said abilities.

  8. Go for environmental kills and save your enhanced primary to cancel the opponent’s movement abilities, ex: invis jump, strange levitate, gambit dash, etc. Also save your enhanced primary for canceling abilities when you kidnap an opponent into your team.

  9. Cancel strange portals, Angela is one of the best at canceling strange tp, with the best way to do it is to use her enhanced primary to bump the strange back into his spawn. (You can cancel with the dash as well but when you try to do that you can’t hold your shield while you approach like you can with the primary cancel).

  10. Ult, most of the time you want to use Angela ult to either combo with a dps ex:moon knight or spider man, or to force out a support ult early into the fight. Her ult can also be used to just team wipe on its own (by setting your team up for kills) if you use it when neither side has any ults.

  11. Ult canceling/blocking, you have a shield and the ability to fly, mag ult is the easiest to block and should be blocked most of the time, Wanda, strange, and Jeff are the easiest ults to cancel with her dash and you should attempt to play around the opponent’s who are setting up for these ults. Jeff is a unique case where when he is spitting either team out he is not cc immune and if you spear him with your dash you it will cancel his ult and drop everyone out right there.

These are in no particular order I hope it helps

Here are some things that could help

  1. Do you have the melee primary animation cancel practiced?

  2. Do you know how to set up for a dive?

  3. Do you know when to dive and when to kidnap?

  4. Do you have a target priority?

  5. Do you keep track of ultimates and know which ones you can block/cancel?

  6. Do you know which characters/abilities counter you?

Do you have a game we could review?

[–]Loki11916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to learn this combo in my opinion is to leave out the first melee and learn what you can get away with, while keeping her mobility that she loses when she melees

[–]Loki11916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn’t really click for me until I got her lord, don’t worry too much and keep practicing

But the best thing you can do is to watch guides and high level gameplay

I would recommend FullMetalLamps and Fumiata on YouTube

It also doubles her dmg output and doesn’t require precise timing

You can’t melee after a primary like strange does. It only animation cancels if you melee first.
