The Bianco Angelo (lit. "White Angel" in Italian) is an artificial demon developed by Agnus. Wearing armor bearing the crest of the Order of the Sword and made from fragments of Nelo Angelo, this hollow shell is animated by the souls of humans and demons that have been captured by Agnus.[1] The Bianco Angelo carries a lance with a throttle system similar to the Red Queen, and a shield which it can transform into wings with which to fly. The Bianco Angelo have no real self, and follow the Order's commands with mechanical precision.[2] The Bianco Angelo is first introduced within the Fortuna Castle Library, where Nero initially believes it to be an ally until it attacks.[3] They are used by Sanctus as foot-soldiers after his Ascension Ceremony. After awakening The Savior, Sanctus has demons released from the true Hell Gate, and then sends the Angelos and The Savior to slay them in order to prove them to the townspeople.
The Alto Angelo (lit. "High Angel" in Italian) is a knight of the Order of the Sword who has become a demon through the Ascension Ceremony, and has donned the armor of the Bianco Angelo in order to lead them in battle.[4] It also wields a much larger order sword, with which it fights more aggressively than the Bianco Angelos. It is able to command the Bianco Angelos to attack in formation and coordinate their attacks, and can empower them with greater strength and the ability to jointly form a massive sphere of energy. As such, they commonly appear with several Bianco Angelos. In the "Angel Creation" laboratory of the Order's research facility, several Holy Knights are seen inside the cages; the Knights are in a trance-like state, suggesting that their souls have been sucked out for the process in which they are transformed into the Alto Angelos. Also, an Alto Angelo armor is seen in the laboratory bathing in the same eerie, greenish light as the Knights in the cages. After his Ascension Ceremony, Sanctus acts as an Alto Angelo, until Dante destroys the armor and it is revealed that Sanctus's true body lies within the Savior.

[edit] Strategy
[edit] Bianco Angelo
Bianco Angelos are easily outmatched by Nero's Charge Shots and Dante's Devil Trigger. When it guards, its back is vulnerable as well. Do not keep attacking at his shield with melee attacks as it immediately counterattacks. In some cases, if its shield gets broken, it is completely vulnerable to any attack other than normal gunfire.
[edit] Alto Angelo
Alto Angelos are more aggressive than Bianco Angelos. They usually charge at you from long distances and coordinate several Bianco Angelos to attack you simultaneously, making the Bianco Angelos deadlier and tougher to defeat. It can also conjure a small sphere of energy and send it flying towards you. Though it can be reflected back at them with the use of a well-timed Buster, a Charge Shot of any level, an Exceed powered move or with Pandora.
It is best to focus on the Alto Angelo first, as it is usually what makes the fight tougher. It seldom guards and does not immediately counterattack once it successfully guarded. It also moves very swiftly and gets out of harm's way once you have performed a combo on it.
