Gameplay guide
Angela is a global roam support who stores healing Love Waves, links an enemy for a delayed immobilize, and attaches to any allied hero with a large shield. While attached, her skills cost no Mana, Love Waves recharge twice as fast, and Smart Heart transfers movement speed to the host.
Use Love Waves through both an ally and enemy when possible to heal, poke, reveal, and stack marks. Start Puppet-on-a-String when the target has limited mobility, then move with Smart Heart speed to preserve the connection.
Continuously scan side lanes and objective fights. Manually select a jungler, EXP laner, or pressured carry who is already committing and cast Heartguard early enough for its shield to matter; while attached, layer Love Waves and String from the host's position.
Stand somewhere safe before channeling because Angela's body disappears into the host only after completion. Choose the teammate able to reach or protect the enemy carry, sustain the extended fight, and detach before the host's certain death when escape remains possible.
Watch ally portraits while farming or rotating so a sudden health drop is noticed before Heartguard becomes too late.
Do not spend every Love Wave before attaching; charges recover faster inside Heartguard and provide the host immediate healing and slows.
Move with Puppet-on-a-String's target until the immobilize triggers, but release the chase when maintaining the link would pull Angela past allied protection.
