Angela is an excellent support that provides the team her powers from across the map with her ultimate. Best known for her unique ultimate skill that allows her to support her teammate from anywhere across the map by possessing her ally, she serves as the clutch teammate savior giving healing and extra life. An annoying and surprising opponent that extends her support to the farthest regions of the map.

3. Supportive Healer Build:
This particular build for Angela revolves around maximizing her healing capabilities by utilizing cooldown reduction and magic damage through items. By using Magic shoes combined with Fleeting Time, the cooldown of her skills is relatively lower, allowing consistent healing and support from Angela to her team. The rest of the items can be different variations of defense items that increase her durability. Winter truncheon will provide her with additional healing and defense, a viable item during the late game.
This build works because of the maximization of her skill scaling. If you want to be both a healer and a bit of a damage dealer, then this kit is the right one for you. This is of course, for a roamer Angela; your task is to support across the map, so map awareness is a must!
