Hello! This is a guide to get you through the Cosmic Trial with Angela. Note: This is NOT the best Angela. It is NOT end game Angela. You will not find the BiS items in this build. I actually borrowed heavily from Luke's Angela build which you can find here: https://itembase.mhbugle.com/build/316/#p2 - so if you're looking to take Angela into an end game build this one should transition pretty nicely into Luke's build.

Set Up

I capped myself at 150 Infinity Points for these trial guides. It won't take too long to build up that many. By the time you've leveled up a few characters for synergies and farmed some Heroic (Red) Challenges and terminals for some gear you may even be past 150 IP when you try the trial. Worst thing that can happen when you try the trial is you fail there is no punishment. So give it a shot and see if you're missing damage, survivability or both.

Not all end game builds work equally well with less IP and gear. I tried a couple of the builds that already existed and found one that worked well to get through the Cosmic Trial. Angela's damage cleared pretty easily with over a minute to spare on both Madame Hydra and Red Skull. Her only chance to fail was by dying. So either play with your eyes open or build even more defensively than I already did.

Synergies

I honestly did the Cosmic Trial with only Cyclops' synergy on. She has plenty of damage without any synergies. Since damage was plenty high I would go a little more defensive with synergies, which is why I picked the ones I did for this build. 

Infinities

Alot of times my first go to with Infinities is the attack and movement speed node (Remilla does a great job explaining attack speed and the infinity system @RemiFromMH on YT) in the Time Stone - (Temporal Loophole). For Angela she gets alot of guaranteed Brutal hits from her  so I went with 75 points in Power Gem - (Strike Through) for +75% Brutal Strike Damage.

Gear

I ended up using  it's a great damage option for most heroes. As I mentioned earlier Angela's damage was plenty high and dying seemed to be the only way to fail the Cosmic Trial, she clears the DPS check. So if you find that you're dying feel free to swap to a .

 

In slot 1-5 I used Angela's Uniques. Should be pretty simple to find.  

I focused on defense mostly with my artifacts. All of them offer some combination of defense, health, strength and durability (which is an archetype stat for Angela so it also provides damage). I also appreciated the shields that could proc occasionally.

Team Up

I went with Agent Coulson because I wanted the damage. If you want to go more defensive consider Jessica Jones here.

Playstyle

Basically we're going to spam all our abilities on CD until our Wrath fills all the way. At this point all of your abilities will glow and they will now spend wrath but instantly refresh your CD. Be careful not to dash or use other abilities when your wrath is full. We want to spend all our wrath on . It is an execute and it is guaranteed Brutal Strikes.

 - This is bound to my left click. I use it as filler when everything else is on CD. It gives a small amount of health on hit and a very small amount of wrath. It is not your main way of filling your Wrath bar or a significant drain tank. Pure filler w/ small extras.

 

- This applies vulnerable and bleeding. If you have Angela's unique slot 3  they also apply vulnerable on enemies hit w/ ribbon powers. Which includes Hunter's Blades and this power. You could feasably drop the slot 3 for something else but the stats on her Slot 3 are pretty solid.

- There to generate Wrath. Our talent in row 1 make our sword powers generate 50% more wrath.

- Before you get your level 56 talent this signature will dash you around a couple times. After picking up the talent I chose in the final row you will just spam the ribbons attack and not dash about. It will give you a chunk of damage and do more damage to bleeding targets (which your  applies bleeding).

- Decent area attack. Has knockdown. Also used on CD to generate wrath.

- There to generate Wrath. Our talent in row 1 make our sword powers generate 50% more wrath.

- This is our bread and butter. Execute. Guaranteed Brutals. Resets when you use it at full wrath. Use it whenever its up.

 

 

Hopefully this helps you clear the Cosmic Trial so that you can start farming your best gear and move on to bigger and better content and bigger and better guides! Have fun out there.

Thanks!
