Where is "here"?

@Meta

Why, your new home. The realm of Amaranthine.

@souleaterfan320

What is that?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Shinji: fair enough. I've made up my mind, I want to finish this all in one go, instead of breaking it into sections. Its better that way.

@souleaterfan320

I mean each section is still part of a single go. If you want to try it solo though...
*Smirks and shrugs.*
Your choice, but be prepared for an info dump before you do so since I'm not going to just leave you to it without some kind of guideline or reference point. If you choose to go solo, I'll be sharing the basics of how my journey through this process went, along with key information.

Shinji:

...would I be better off, alone?

I have a question regarding combat if the category something you've experienced before. What would be the most effective way to defeat an angel?

@Etcetera

Depends on the kind of angel. Could you be more specific?

@DarkwolfX37

Either a guardian angel or an angel of light.

@Meta

You'll learn more, as you go. This is exciting,formerly Prism, now one amongst the Amaranthine. I've heard legends about your former self. Quite the acomplished idividual, you used to be. Now, you can become so much more.

What have you heard?

[DarkwolfX37]

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Either a guardian angel or an angel of light.

@Etcetera

Hmm... Guardian angel is tougher because they can vary a lot, but generally you want to use something that will leave very little trace of them, since a lot of times they're connected to their charge's soul and can recover using it. Fire is the simplest but things like overwhelming spiritual power can work well also. Angels of light tend to be connected to a deity of some kind, so whatever is anathema to it would work well. Alternatively, depending on the type, poisons work well. Not because they work physically, but because of the natural corruptive nature of poisons. Though make sure it's poisonous to the species most closely related to the type of angel, for example against a valkyrie, things that are poisonous to homo sapiens is preferable.

@DarkwolfX37

How would you tell the most effective method if one were to engage you in combat on the spot?

@Etcetera

Personally, I'm well versed in the types so I would likely recognize its specific species, but usually you can tell by drawing out the fight and careful observation of their attacks. Alternatively you can use some sort of recognition technique.

@DarkwolfX37

What are the various species? And what are recognition techniques?

[DarkwolfX37]

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

@Etcetera

Well, a species is technically a misnomer, but it fits well. Examples would be valkyries, wheels, powers, archangels, anitu, furies, tennin, etcetera. And recognition techniques range from rituals to simple spells to natural transmutational items that react to a specific type of supernatural power.

@DarkwolfX37

And each one has unique properties to leverage?

@Etcetera

Yes. Nearly every supernatural force of any kind has some weakness. There are rare cases of hybrids that cover their own weaknesses, but usually combining different sources means combining the weaknesses as well. Even if the weakness is as simple as an aversion to silver, for example. The hard part is keeping track of what is best used against what.

@DarkwolfX37

How do you identify the specific weakness of any given category? And how are you confident that it will always be correct?

@Etcetera

Luckily, people have done that work for us. And it's sort of like how you're confident that a homo sapiens will have a weakness to head injuries, or that a bird will be heavily affected by a wing injury. It's in their "design" so to speak.

@DarkwolfX37

In that case, how many different categories could an angelic being with barriers and light fit into? With one wing, if that's relevant.

@Etcetera

Quite a few. The wing could be indicative of a category, or an individual "mutation" or injury. Many light-based angelic entities also use barriers, but the one I'd gravitate towards first would be an erelim. Or perhaps a nephilim. It would probably be easiest to check it than muse over the different things it could be. Erelim aren't universally one-winged, but they have a higher rate of it than most that fit into the category of both barriers and light. Nephilim tend to be all sorts of classical element based, so one that's got powers of light isn't far fetched.
