History
When Angel of Pain was first released in the Ancient Awakenings midterm release, she was declared OP from the start. At the time, UD champs received a straight +5 DMG for the faction bonus, so Angel of Pain was hitting for 14 DMG pre-Intensify, as well as costing 87 Nora for a cheap 6 (9) SPD build.
When the devs nerfed UD's range bonus from +5 to +2, as UD Moderator Sepulcher brought up to them that Angel of Pain would actually lose 1 DMG when she Intensified. He thought the devs would buff Angel of Pain or change her range, because at the time she was rarely run thanks to a Week 1 nerf, but the devs instead nerfed her again. She basically rotted in the shoebox until the revamp.
Analysis
Rating: *****
Recommended Builds: Aerial Supremacy/+2 DMG, no contest.
Angel of Pain is amazing. With Supremacy and +2 DMG upgraded, she hits ground units for 15 DMG pre-Intensify and 17 post. 17 DMG at 6 range, wonder where we've seen that kind of damage in UD? Oh right, Grimlic . In addition, Angel gives UD much-needed champ Magical damage (the only other viable source being Nefari Messenger) and a Flying champ all for under 100 Nora. She is a gem, and if you have her you should run her no questions asked.
