Gameplay Tips

 * The AD-289 Angel is one of two personal defense drones available to Helldivers, the other being the AD-334 Guard Dog. It is more defense-oriented than its counterpart and shares similar mechanics and behaviour, orbiting its user until needed and retiring to its backpack to recharge between skirmishes. The Angel automatically heals allies and repairs friendly non-organic units in range and has the added benefit of being able to revive nearby teammates. Once fully upgraded the Angel is capable of healing on the move and can moderately enhance its user's survivability, although it makes for a poor support Stratagem for a team and requires recharging once depleted.
 * The Angel automatically heals targets at a rate of 20 health per second while in range of its owner. While not as potent as the REP-80, it has similar benefits and allows the use of other weapons while active.
 * Like the REP-80, the Angel can neutralize certain status effects such as Toxic and Fire damage over time and can even repair vehicles from a burning state so long as they have health or constitution remaining, however it is not capable of repairing most objectives.
 * The Angel's healing rate is far slower than the REP-80's and its limited use before needing to recharge makes it a very poor choice for repairing vehicles and turrets.
 * If the Angel does not use its healing capabilities for longer than 15 seconds, it will return to its owner's backpack to fully recharge.
 * The drone cannot leave the backpack if its user is inside a vehicle. While using a vehicle, the Angel will automatically begin charging. It will immediately redeploy upon exiting once charged.
