Strategy:Angel of Death
From DoomRL Wiki
0.9.9.7
AoD hits like a truck and has massive amounts of armor, and guns don't work in the Unholy Cathedral, so you have to fight him with melee attacks. Each of his strikes deals almost as much damage as an Arch-Vile, and with 10 armor, you're going to be in for a tough fight unless you're using a melee build. Even the Chainsaw won't hurt him very much unless you have high melee damage bonuses, which means you'll need some way to go Berserk, or you'll need an armor with high Melee resistance. The Piercing Blade assembly will be very useful here.
If you are going to fight this thing without Berserker or a Melee build, you are going to need at least one Hatred skull, taking extra care not to let the Demon corpses get gibbed before you're ready, and even that might not be enough. He hits hard enough to kill most marines in 3-4 hits, so without high resistances, you will be popping Large med-packs almost as often as you will be attacking, and with his insane armor and health pool, you will not be out-damaging him without a LOT of preparation.
Melee builds should have no trouble at all with AoD except on higher difficulty, since all of the Melee masteries have some way to get incredibly high Melee resistances. For a Vampyre, this will seem like a breather level.
