Dolls
Demons and wicked souls captured by the angels are given the option to serve heaven by having their souls placed into angelic dolls. The doll acts as a prison, where the demon can do nothing but observe and bid its time. These dolls are then given to lonely children who show them love and compassion, something most demons never feel. Over time, the demon's soul learns empathy and love which purifies their soul. When the soul is purified enough, the doll is brought back to heaven and given limited mobility. In heaven, dolls preform most of the chores such as cooking and cleaning for the Cherubs. In battle, they are given human weapons as angels cannot wield firearms. When enough time passes and the demon's soul has been completely purified, they are reborn as Cherubs and allowed to live amongst the angels of heaven.
It should be noted that the dollification process is entirely voluntarily. Most demons choose this option as they believe they will be able to betray heaven when the opportunity presents itself. This never happens, and the angels use this to their advantage to increase their numbers. Every single demon soul put through the process eventually becomes purified and reborn as an angel.
Revolver Doll
(Replaces Zombieman)
"A clumsy angelic doll who has trouble wielding her gun."
Shotgun Duo
(Replaces Sergeant)
"So smol, it takes two dolls just to carry a shotgun. When the first doll dies, the second comes at you with a knife and a vengeance. A rocket will put them both out of commission."
Outer Sphere angels AKA: Smol Angels
Outer sphere angels make up the majority of the angelic host. Heaven exists solely make outer sphere angels happy with the inner sphere and sacrificial angels existing as their servants. As outer sphere angels are weak and often the prey to demons, these angels have powerful wings that give them the mobility to escape danger. In large arenas, they amass in great flocks and can be quite dangerous.
Cherub
(Replaces Imp)
"The lowest class of angel. Cherubs are fast fliers who glob balls of holy water at those in her way. What she lacks in power, she makes up for in raw numbers."
Snowball
(Replaces Chaingunner)
"A chilly flier who can freeze dry her foes in seconds. While powerful for a smol angel, she is exceedingly frail and will break with only a few shots."
Putto
(Replaces Lost soul)
"A wandering soul seeking redemption. Putto can sacrifice themselves to resurrect any doll, outer or inner sphere angel killed on the battlefield. Eliminating Putto should always be a top priority."
Cardinal
(Replaces Pinky)
"A very red angel who swipes at her opponents with bladed sleeves. Her stamina is quite poor and she must rest after attacking or flying for a period of time. In heretic, she will always drop a timebomb of the ancients.
BlackBird.png
Blackbird
(Replaces Spectre)
“A shy cardinal who doesn’t like to be seen. On the battlefield, she can render herself complete invisible… except for her halo. This ironically makes her easier to spot in dark areas and more difficult to spot in the light.”
Inner sphere angels AKA: "Big angels"
Inner sphere angels run the day-to-day operations of heaven. Unlike the outer sphere angels who are lazy and exist to play, inner sphere angels are hard working, strong and dedicated entirely to their work. As they rarely leave heaven, most of them have lost the ability to fly or have lost their wings entirely. Wielding powerful weapons and spells, Inner sphere angels must be approached with caution and can quickly end an unprepared soldier's life.
Kiss
(Replaces Cacodemon)
"Angelic snipers who float on pink clouds. These "Love angels" take a few seconds to aim, but their arrows always seek out an opponent's heart. Dangerous in mobs and at a distance, but a joke at close range."
Aspect of Iris
(Replaces Revenant)
"A half-human, half angel hybrid, that excels in close/medium combat. Up close, she can form a rainbow blade from her chalice to cut down evil. At a distance, she can summon a heat-seeking butterfly that can be tricky to shake off. She is ineffective at long range as her butterflies will expire after a short period of time."
Authority
(Replaces Hell Knight)
"Unyielding angels who are living embodiments of law and order. Authorities use their "Sword of Damocles" to carve the very air into a blade sharper than the sharpest of swords. Purely focusing on offense, the Authority is nimble and strong at the expense of armor and health.
Ophanim
(Replaces Arachnotron)
"An angel with 1000 eyes who sees past, present, and future. Her gaze can a rip a wicked soul to shreds and the more eyes she opens, the more unstoppable she becomes. There is no record of anyone seeing an Ophanim open all her eyes and living to tell the tale."
Principality
(Replaces Mancubus)
"Snobby, angelic wizards with an affinity for lightning. The Principality can channel electricity through her umbrella which she directs at her opponents in a multitude of patterns. Self proclaimed "nobility", She will take any opportunity to laugh and look down on you".
Joy Elemental
(Replaces pain elemental)
"An angelic musician who happens to be an instrument herself. Joy elementals wander the battlefield, playing songs that revive fallen dolls, smol and big angels. Her songs attract wandering putto who are more than grateful to help her with her task. Joy elementals make themselves known by their ringing and like putto, should always be a top priority.
3rd sphere angels AKA: Sacrificial Angels
The most powerful angels in heaven. Angel society is built on the most powerful angels suffering greatly so that the smaller angels can live fun, fruitful lives. The sacrificial angels embody this way of life as they suffer greatly to keep heaven's more important tasks running.
Virtue Virgin
(Replaces Baron of Hell)
“Authorities who have undergone extensive purification rituals, metamorphizing them into angels of chastity. Virtue Virgins are amplified versions of their sisters who get quicker and stronger the more damage they take. A wise warrior should not engage this angel until her sisters are eliminated.”
Dollmaykr
(Replaces Arch-Vile)
"Emotionless, unblinking, smol, the Dollmaykr is an elusive angel who uses the souls of the dead to power her army of dolls. While her body appears more doll-like than her toys, her wings are strong and let her fly in unpredictable patterns."
Seraph.png
Crucified Seraph
(Replaces Cyberdemon)
"An immortal, ten-winged angel charged with the selfless task of absorbing and destroying the world's sin. The pain of this task has greatly weakened her to the point where she had to be crucified to her own wings just to keep standing. She channels this power into living fireballs that burn anything in their path to cinders."
Crusader Queen
(Replaces Mastermind)
“The former praetorian guard of the little goddess. Grafted onto a hover chariot and pulled by two mechanical horses, the Crusader Queen is able charge at her opponent faster than the speed of sound and will counter any painful attack with a stream of orbiter bullets. If her horses are destroyed, the Crusader Queen will flip her chariot upside down, gaining the ability to fly, but be reduced to only using her arm cannon. They are only a finite number of Crusader Queens left in existence, so they are exceedingly rare.
Red Egg
"Seraph's are unique among angels as when killed, they have the ability to arise from their own ashes. The ashes form into a giant red egg with a shell harder than stone. Within moments, the egg will begin to hatch and if not destroyed, the Seraph will be reborn, free of sin and stronger than ever."
Great Seraph
"Free of sin, the Seraph is able to wield her true power for a short time. She is the most power creature in all of heaven and killing her is near impossible in many situations. Break the red egg at all cost and avoid fighting her.
Archangels (Life and Death difficulty only)
Eons ago, heaven was ruled by a little goddess, creator of all the angels and said to rival the lords of hell in power. Rather than take on the goddess, hell had her assassinated, neutralizing heaven as a potential treat. Since then, heaven has been ruled by 7 great archangels, immortal beings of pure energy that cannot be killed, only incapacitated for short periods of time.
The archangels only show themselves when the regular forces of heaven have been unable to dispose of a target. The only viable tactic against an archangel is to run.
Willendorf: Arch-angel of life
“The ultimate support angel. Willendorf can create an endless army of special Cherubs out of thin air that lob fast lightning bolts and move through solid walls. She is also able to resurrect any dead angel she comes across and will deflect any projectile that is thrown her way.”
The Destroying angel: Arch-angel of death
"A Seraph who become so hot she collapsed into herself like a black hole, becoming a being of pure dark energy. The destroying angel is the most terrifying being in all of heaven who will never stop until her opponent is dead."
Rare birds
"It's said they are some angels that only appear in certain realms. Keep an eye out for these rare birds in map packs that focus on heaven. They are currently 6 hidden extra enemy types.
