SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Angela
Passive
Flame Incantation
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
Angela’s abilities will burn enemies, and each stack of the burn effect will add an additional 8 (+2% magic power) magic damage when Angela uses abilities to attack and increase her movement speed by 2%. The effect can stack up to 10 times and lasts for 3 seconds, with each stack dissipating over time.
Tips: Cursed Flame is Angela’s core skill, allowing all her abilities to deal additional magic damage. This passive effect enables Angela to deal massive damage when continuously casting spells to attack enemies.
Skill 01
Scorching Barrage
Cooldown: 5/4.8/4.6/4.4/4.2/4s, Cost: 50
Angela summons five fireballs that attack a designated area, each fireball dealing 270/310/350/390/430/470 (+30% magic power) magic damage. The second and subsequent fireballs hitting the same target will only deal 30% damage. Fireballs will stop moving and be destroyed when they hit an enemy hero.
Tips: This is a non-targeted skill that requires predicting the enemy’s movements. The hit rate of this skill can be greatly increased if the enemy is under a control effect.
Skill 02
Chaos Cinder
Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8s, Cost: 60
Angela releases a Chaos Seed in a specified direction. When the seed reaches its maximum distance or hits a target, it stops and splits into a fire vortex. The fire vortex deals 130/145/160/175/190/205 (+17% magic power) magic damage to surrounding enemies every 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds. Enemies within the area will also have their movement speed reduced by 50% for 1.5 seconds. If the seed directly hits an enemy, it will stun them for 1 second.
Tips: When the seed turns into a fire vortex, it will briefly stun the first enemy it hits. It is recommended to cast other skills during the stun period to greatly increase hit rate and damage output.
Ultimate
Blazing Brilliance
Cooldown: 20s, Cost: 100
Angela unleashes a Scorching Radiance for 3 seconds, dealing 150/190/230 (+21% magic power) magic damage each time it touches an enemy, up to 12 times, and gains a shield of 850/1300/1750 (+88% magic power) that grants immunity to control effects while active. After 0.5 seconds of casting, the skill can be canceled by reactivating it.
Tips: During the channeling of Scorching Radiance, Angela can control her direction with the left joystick, allowing her to precisely target enemies. The shield Angela gains while casting this skill provides immunity to control effects. If the skill’s position isn’t ideal, it can be canceled by tapping the skill button again.

Team Play and Support
Preset 1– It focuses on high burst damage and sustain, making Angela a powerful carry in the right hands.
Preset 2- It balances damage and durability, making it effective against compositions with heavy sustain.
Preset 3- It provides both damage and support, fitting well into various team compositions and offering flexibility.
If you prefer playing as a primary damage dealer and are confident in your ability to manage positioning and cooldowns, Preset 1 is the best choice.
