 The '''Archangel''' is an unconventional 100t [[Inner Sphere]] [[Assault Mech]] that uses the latest in Inner Sphere technology to create the ultimate defense Mech. On the surface, with a typical armament similar to a Mech half its size, a slow max speed of 54 km/h, and an extremely wide profile, the Archangel looks to be a poor contender for its price and tonnage. However, the Archangel's secret lies within its unique technology to create an ultra-specialised "zombie" mech that refuses to be destroyed. A Compact Fusion [[Engine]] reduces damage transfer from destroyed side and back torso plates even more so than the Standard Engine used by the [[Atlas]]. Combined with carrying the maximum amount of armor for its tonnage, a pilot can use [[damage spreading]] to absorb a tremendous amount of punishment while suffering less penalties when taking hits on destroyed components. Typically mounting [[GECM]] or even [[Stealth Armor]], the Archangel has the potential to avoid damage entirely by remaining undetected on radar and frustrating attempts to lock on with [[Missile Weapons]]. Finally, for when a situation gets too dangerous even for such a tough Mech, the Archangel mounts [[IJJ|Improved Jump Jets]] allowing it to vault out of harm's way and into covered positions, greatly extending its survivability. With all of these elements in concert, the Archangel makes the ultimate base defender and contester, able to easily absorb or frustrate any attempt to damage it, making up for its poor weapons compliment simply by outlasting the competition.

 Thanks to the strange shape of the Archangel, the massive [[screen shake]] of its [[AC20]] and its impressive [[armor]], the A can more afford to [[Gameplay_Tactics#Staring|stare]] compared to other assault mechs. This allows the B to [[chain fire]] its weapons to better handle heat. Chain firing the B's two [[LPL]]s in quick succession allows it to cool more efficiently so that the B can take advantage of its [[iJJ]]s in the middle of combat. These JJs can be used to quickly escape when the B's armor gets low, to deny line of sight from one's enemies in order to prolong the fight and give allies more time to deal their damage, or to avoid incoming [[bombers]]. One of the B's two [[LPL|Large Pulse Lasers]] is mounted in its center torso. This allows the B to continue laying down some medium range firepower for its entire lifetime on the battlefield no matter how much damage it has taken. The Archangel operates well as a [[Brawler]] but can also function as a [[Skirmisher]] thanks to its medium range weapons and powerful improved Jump Jets.

 The Archangel Prime is a solid medium [[range]] assault mech. A single [[HPPC]] in the Prime's right arm encourages [[poking]] or [[damage spreading]] during its long recycle times. With only 4 [[DHS]] in total, the Prime must be careful before firing the HPPC when laying down continual fire with its other weapons. If the Prime's heat is already much above 350° it may be prudent to use some [[coolant]] ''before'' firing the HPPC in order to avoid [[heat|armor damage]]. When out of coolant and forced into constant engagement, the Prime should focus on using its center torso-mounted [[UAC10]] and two [[ERML]]s instead of the HPPC. However, due to the Prime's severely limited ammo, players will soon find themselves unable to deal continual damage, forcing them into the damage spreading tactic. Thankfully the Prime's inflexibility with heat is mostly offset by its generous electronics package. [[GECM]] allows it to run active radar to better control when and where it engages in a fight. So long as other allies are equipped with C3, the Prime's [[C3 Master|C3 Master Unit]] further improves its battlefield awareness and gives it a secondary [[scouting]] role that it can serve long after its weapons are disabled or run dry. With so much of its firepower mounted in the center torso, the Prime remains far more formidable than most assault Mechs, after [[tanking]] massive damage and losing its [[arm|limbs]] and [[side torso]]s.
-Note: This asset has both C3 and GECM, meaning there is no benefit to using [[Radar#Passive Radar|passive radar]] except when covered by allied [[AECM]].
