Angelics are a unique variant of Vex Hydra employed by the Sol Divisive, identifiable by their white frames while still being draped in moss. They are encountered exclusively in the Black Garden Raid, deployed as a security measure to impede the progress of the invading Guardians as they make their way deeper into the Black Garden.

Gameplay

Angelics are unique, in that instead of the Aeon Maul common for Hydras, they are equipped with a pair of Arc Slap Rifles to deliver rapid suppressive fire. Similar to the Divisive Mind earlier in the Raid, they also lack a usual Hydra's revolving barriers, instead being surrounded in a circular shield that blocks damage from all sides, which will only lower when all of the enemies surrounding them have been destroyed. Their death blasts also have more range and deal more damage.

Angelics appear during several encounters in the raid, and it is essential for them to be defeated in order for the players to progress. During the first fight with the Consecrated Mind, an Angelic will appear at the end of each next room and must be killed for the barrier blocking said room to lower, thus allowing the encounter to progress. During the Cleansing Ritual encounter, Angelics will spawn at one of the four relays around the arena, locking down the warp gates there until they are killed. The Angelic will then make their way over to the Conflux at their relay and erect a suppression field over it, which damages any Guardians that come too close to the center of the relay. The Angelic will then sacrifice itself after some time. While the Confluxes usually allow for at most five sacrifices for the fireteam to be wiped, this can also happen if at most two Angelics successfully sacrifice themselves. This will also occur during the third encounter.

In the fourth boss encounter, Angelics will spawn from the Imminent Mind's relay at the right-hand corner of the arena, and their shields will only lower when all of the surrounding enemies in their relay only (excluding the boss) have been destroyed. Upon spawning the Angelic will move toward either the Conflux in the center or the left-hand relay, and reaching either will cause a large suppression field to appear over it, causing area denial for Guardians. Angelics at the Conflux will attempt to sacrifice themselves to it, and once this has been done all players will receive the 'Expungement' debuff before being wiped.

In the final encounter, a pair of Angelics can be found guarding either of the Dark Confluxes that need to be destroyed in order to weaken the Black Heart. The Conflux will be surrounded by a barrier that will only disappear if both of the Angelics have been killed, but in order to destroy the Angelics, all of the enemies before them in turn must be killed first in order to make them vulnerable.
