SACHIEL
Sachiel is the first Angel to assault Tokyo-3 following the destruction of
Adam, though it's fifteen years after the second impact before Sachiel attacks
the city. Why the long wait is a mystery, though its been rumored that the Angels
laid dormant on Earth until the second impact which some how awoke them. Like
the Angels to follow, Sachiel challenges NERV alone, there would appear to be
no systematic organization amongst the Angels.
Sachiel is extremely well suited to the role of assaulting
the enemy being equipped to dispatch of both long range and close combat opponents.
Sachiel's armament includes that of two ramming devices built into the palm
of both hands, like a laser spear. After the N2 mine explodes, Sachiel stops
for about 6 hours to regenerate. Afterward, it also has a new weapon, the cross
flare. Sachiel's AT field isn't as powerful as those exhibited by many of the
other Angels, and the Angel's agility is mediocre, though Sachiel's extraordinary
strength, ability to skim across surfaces and powers of regeneration more than
makes up for this.
