A Little Tip for Fighting an Angel

I'm referring to the monstrosities from Neon Genesis Evangelion, specifically to the one you face on SRW L for the DS, Stage 23.

If your weapons aren't powerful enough to pierce the monster's AT-Field on your own, you have to resort to making efficient squads built around the Fury / Choukugeki / Pierce spirit command. I'll list that who should have the spell by now - at least, by my team's levels.

Capt. Mitsuko Yagyuu - Build Angel (Koutetsushin Jeeg repair jet) - Lv 30
Ken - Blade Gainer (Shinkon Gattai Godannar secret unit) - Lv 33
Dick - Kill Jaguar (Gaiking's gold cat robot pal) - Lv 32
Jack Smith - HIMSELF (I think Black Samurai from Linebarrels is cool, eh fights mechs on foot and doesn't afraid of anything) - Lv 29 (then again he is a cyborg)
Mira Ackerman - Neo Okusar (The light pink girly mech from Godannar, AKA Dannar's other "wife") - Lv 32
Zechs Mequise / Preventer Wind / Milliardo Peacecraft / Gundam Wing's Char clone - Tallgeese III - Lv 33
Heine Westinfluss (sp?) - Gouf Ignited - Lv 32; Seriously, I thought this guy was a joke, until I saw how useful he was.
Lt. Ozma Lee AKA Kamina in a Macross Frontier Valkyrie - VF-25S Messiah F - Lv 32
Rey Za Burrel - Legend Gundam - Lv 31 (If you let him score the kill on the Angel make sure you save him at Stage 33 - or not, if you prefer)
Shinn Asuka - Destiny Gundam - Lv 32 (Of course he has the skill to punch through barriers, his Japanese voice actor also did Shiki FREAKING Tohno from the Tsukihime anime! Yes it exists, so live with it, denial fools! I mean I lived through the Omamori Himari and Asu no Yoichi adaptations and their gecko endings for crying out loud...)


AHEM.

Pardon the outburst, now to bring the list to an end.

Kurara - Dancougar Nova's blue-haired girl pilot - Lv 33
Megumi - Voltes V's ninja girl - Lv 32

This is just for reference, of course. I mean if you feel like taking the brute force route and deploying all your Super Robots and some repair and resupply units, go ahead, just don't overextend and be aware of the following events in the stage.

- Angel's HP drops to less than 50%: Regenerates to full, Asuka deploys in unit 02, Duo and Hilde not far behind
- Enemy Turn after Player Reinforcements arrive - enemy reinforcements, Iczer series' robo-grunts and an annoying Super Small-sized (we're talking human-sized here) boss to lead them. Iczer-3 moves to confront all of them, so try to force the event before moving Iczer-3 so you can move her to safety. Iczer-3 is mission critical in this stage - she dies, you restart the mission.
