🟢 Strengths
Rare Class Typing and Bonus Damage Against Beasts
Apart from being effective against Rulers, Angra’s Avenger class typing also offers some good passive skills to help Angra build his NP faster via being damaged, as well as some critical damage to aid with his third skill, Annihilation Wish’s gimmicky effects. Additionally, Angra's bond CE allows him to also deal bonus damage to Beast enemies.
Noble Phantasm does True Damage
While extremely difficult to pull actually use effectively (as will be explained below), Angra's NP damage ignores defense, damage reductions, and invulnerability. As such he can be used in upcoming gimmicky boss battles (Siegfried from Nero Fest, hermit crabs from Summer Challenge Quest).
Only Accessible Avenger for a While
Angra is the only Avenger class Servant who can be pulled from the Friend Point gacha, thus is the only accessible Avenger for a while (until Part II). Note: While Angra is available in the Friend Point gacha, it’s absurdly, impossibly difficult to get him due to him competing with the multitude of bronze Servants.
🔴 Weaknesses
Gimmicky Noble Phantasm
Angra Mainyu’s Noble Phantasm needs many factors to line up for it to work. First, he has to charge it as fast as he can while preferably not being dealt any damage, as his HP serves as a cap to the damage he can deal. Next, once he uses his NP, he has to be the one targeted for damage. During the turn he’s waiting for the damage, he can’t act. Additionally, given his low HP, he can’t even tank that much damage in the first place.
Gimmicky Third Skill, Annihilation Wish
Although on paper, having a skill which increases Quick performance for five turns (in exchange for dying afterwards) sounds amazing, the fact that the skill was given to a Servant who has poor attack, average star generation, low star weight, and only two Quick cards makes its demerit outweigh its advantage. Note that in the future, Angra receives an Bond 10 Interlude which upgrades this skill to also include a stackable Guts effect, which greatly improves his overall viability.
Low Damage Outside of Gimmicks
Partly because he only has stats equal to a 2-Star Servant, outside of his NP and third skill Quick card boosts, he can’t deal much damage. While he does have increased critical damage to pair with his Quick card performance boost, he also doesn’t have the high star generation nor star weight to take advantage of the crit stars.
