Angels and archangels are level 7 creatures of castle. They are recruited from a portal of glory. Additionally, angels can be acquired from griffin conservatories. Flying capabilities, great speed and considerable damage combined with substantial attack and defence values, angels and especially archangels are among the mightiest creatures in the game. Their only downsides are the lack of immunities and rather high cost.

In Restoration of Erathia angels and archangels did not cost any gems, but the additional cost was added to Shadow of Death.

Special strategy

Casting clone on archangels before they have cast their resurrection enables the clone to cast it. Typically the resurrection cast by archangels are is more powerful compared to hero's resurrection. After the clone has cast the resurrection, it is almost preferable to let the enemy destroy it in order to cast the clone again on archangels. Additionally, spells like fireball or meteor shower can be used to get rid of the clone.

It takes three archangels to resurrect one archangel. Thus it could be wise to divide them into stacks with multiples of three (3,6,9...), so they can resurrect each other.

Because their damage is not based on a range of numbers, but is instead set at 50. Spells like bless and curse have no effect on them. Because they do a precise amount of damage in combat, they are a sure fire unit.
