__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Crying Angel''' was an [[enemies|enemy]] that appeared exclusively in [[Outpost 32 (Frost Invasion)|Outpost 32]] as part of the [[Frost Invasion Event]]. Currently, it can only appear in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode. For its debut, it had a low amount of health, but it had a somewhat fast speed. The '''Crying Angel''' was also a [[Flying]] enemy, meaning that ground towers and [[units]] could not detect it, though some [[units]] could collide with it.

Upon its death, the [[Frost Mystery (Frost Invasion)|Frost Mystery]] had a chance to spawn the '''Crying Angel''', from wave 19 onwards.

==Appearance==
The '''Crying Angel''' is entirely made out of dark grey granite, from head to legs. It has two dull blue wings with chains across its wings. The '''Crying Angel''' also has a neon blue outline around its body, plus it has a neon blue halo above its head. As a [[Flying]] enemy, it hovered a distance above the ground. Its head was slightly tilted downwards.

==Event Strategy==
As this enemy only appears through [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode in [[Outpost 32 (Frost Invasion)|Outpost 32]] is listed instead.
*Only cliff and air-based towers can target the '''Crying Angel'''.
**However, explosions can indirectly hit the '''Crying Angel'''.
***With the exception of the [[Mortar]], [[Ace Pilot]] and [[Pursuit]], explosive towers cannot detect the '''Crying Angel'''. If another enemy that can be detected by such a tower is present, then the '''Crying Angel''' can be damaged, so long it is within the explosion radius.
****Be aware that the projectile explodes on the ground. At low levels, the [[Mortar]] may only deal small amounts of damage to the '''Crying Angel'''.
**A Level 5 [[Pyromancer]] can set the '''Crying Angel''' on fire, so long another detectable enemy is nearby.
***Any [[Pyromancer]] at a lower level will not be able to set the '''Crying Angel''' on fire as its flames will be too small to hit them.
***As with all enemies in the [[Frost Invasion Event]], the [[Pyromancer]] deals double fire damage to the '''Crying Angel''' (though normal damage is not doubled).
*[[Ace Pilot]]s and [[Pursuit]]s deal great amounts of damage to this enemy.
**A couple of [[Ace Pilot]]s fare well against the '''Crying Angel'''.
*[[Sniper]]s and [[Ranger]]s can be an option against the '''Crying Angel''', though do be aware of limited cliff space near the start of the map.
*Some ground towers like the [[Electroshocker]] and [[Gladiator]] can hit the '''Crying Angel'''.
**The '''Crying Angel''' can get hit if it is in chain reaction with the [[Electroshocker]].
**The [[Sledger]] and [[Gladiator]] will be able to hit the '''Crying Angel''' is another detectable enemy is nearby as their hitboxes can hit the '''Crying Angel'''.
**The [[Archer]] and [[Slasher]] (through its passive ''Knife Throw'' ability) can hit the '''Crying Angel''', so long the [[Frost Spirit (Frost Invasion)|Frost Spirit]] is nearby, since these towers will aim upwards, which can hit the '''Crying Angel'''
*[[Units]] (from the [[Crook Boss]] and [[Military Base]]) cannot detect the '''Crying Angel''' as it is a flying enemy.
**However, [[units]] from the [[Crook Boss]] can collide and deal damage to the '''Crying Angel''' through its collision.
**The [[Military Base]]'s [[units]] cannot collide with the '''Crying Angel''' at all.
