“	A bow, filled with Angelic power! It has been owned by Archangel Cuboriel, defender of the weak. Godspeed!	”
—Weapon description in the Gallery

The Archangel is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 13.5.0 update.

Description

It is a heaven-themed bow that shoots arrows. It has good damage, a high fire rate, a decent capacity for its fire rate, and decent mobility. It has a gadget blocker attribute which may be very helpful. It is usually a 2 shot headshot to a max armor player when this is at the maximum level.

Appearance

It is a re-skin of the Tactical Bow.

It has a white/yellow finish with white bowstring and illuminated limbolts. It also features a yellow grip and yellow scope.

The arrow itself has black fletching with a white with tan and black shaft and a light yellowish-white arrowhead.

Performance

The player shoots the arrow at a relatively high attack speed. The arrows, which are ivory and have a white top, have instant bullet travel time. The Archangel is a precision weapon that can deal large amounts of damage. With its optic sight, it can effectively counter snipers.

This weapon is a bow, so it uses the single-shot system, therefore it has no reload animation. It has no delay mechanics either.

Strategy 

Tips

• It is effective against anyone using a deadly melee or a flamethrower.
• Be very careful around wall break snipers. If you miss your 1st shot, you will be in great trouble.
• This is a great counter to the Railgun. Due to the Railgun's high recoil, you can easily punish the user if they misfire, which can be hard to do with other weapons.
  • Its great fire rate also suitable for Sniper Tournament, as it does not need to reload.
• The weapon is extremely accurate, as the crosshair never changes.
• Don't hold the fire button when using this weapon, as you won't be able to land a shot. Fire, wait until your crosshair is on the enemy, then shoot again. Otherwise, the reloading animation will mess up your aim. Another possible technique is to just constantly scope.
• Land headshots or/and target weakened opponents for better arrow conserving.

Counters

• Get up close, then attack using a deadly close-quarter weapon, preferably Ghost Lantern or Soulstone.
• Wallbreak Snipers perform better than this weapon in a sniper duel due to the wall break and better scope.
• Attack the sniper from behind for best results.
• Automatic fire rate weapons gets the job done.
• Since this is a weapon from the sniper category, use a melee weapon such as the heroic epee to counter this.

Recommended Maps

• Stadium
• Heaven Garden
• Sniper Forts

Equipment Setups

Other high damage or high fire rate weapons to help out with its DPS and for close-range combat. You can also bring a weapon that slows the target such as Death Claws or Dual Cryo Pistols, so you can get a guaranteed hit with the Gadget Block.

Etymology

This weapon's name may derive from "arch", which could mean "archery" and "angel", which means a spirit. Therefore, it could mean the bow of an angel.

Trivia 

• This is one of eleven weapons with the ability to block gadgets, the others being the Ancient Scroll, the Black Hole (weapon), the Duck Hunter, the Inevitability, the Mega-Horn, the Neutron Pulsator, the Sneaky Pistol, the Sword of Silence, the Transformed Blaster and the Void Ray Rifle.
• This weapon might be a re-skin of the Magic Bow with a modified arrow and added glowing animations, but this is unlikely as it looks more like the Tactical Bow.
