Archangel
The Archangel Collection
The celestial counterpart to the Satanic line. A full diamond-based armor set, a complete weapon and tool kit, and the second-best fishing rod in the game.
Last updated August 2026. Part of the VortexXtra Item Catalog.
Overview
Everything in the Archangel line is diamond-based, unbreakable, and themed around holy/celestial power. It's a full progression tier below Satanic gear, strong, but not quite the ceiling.
Armor
| Piece | What It Does |
| Archangel Helmet | Protection VIII, Thorns III, plus bonus armor, health, knockback resistance, and speed. Grants Aqua Affinity III and Respiration III. |
| Archangel Chestplate | Protection VIII, Thorns III, plus bonus armor, health, knockback resistance, and speed. |
| Archangel Leggings | Protection VIII, Thorns III, and Swift Sneak III, plus bonus armor, health, knockback resistance, and speed. |
| Archangel Boots | Protection VIII, Thorns III, Feather Falling X, Depth Strider III, and Soul Speed III, plus bonus armor, health, knockback resistance, and speed. |
Wearing the full set stacks up to +16 max health along with bonus armor, toughness, knockback resistance, and speed.
Weapons & Tools
| Item | What It Does |
| Archangel Sword | Sharpness VIII, Looting IV, Knockback II, Fire Aspect II, Sweeping Edge IV. |

| Archangel Pickaxe | Efficiency VI, Fortune IV, strong mining stats including underwater. |

Archangel Fishing Rod
The second-best rod in the game, right below Satanic. Wide hit-zone, fast bites, high luck, completely unbreakable. Like the Satanic Rod, it can't be purchased, only obtained through smithing or rituals.
How to Get It
Every piece is made at a Smithing Table, upgrading a base item:
- Template: Infernal Essence
- Addition: Archangel Essence
- Requires: level 17
Base items vary by piece:
| Piece | Upgrades From |
| Helmet / Chestplate / Leggings / Boots | Vanilla Diamond armor |
| Sword / Axe / Hoe | Vanilla Diamond tool |
| Pickaxe | Explosive Pickaxe |
| Shovel | Explosive Shovel |
| Bow | Icy Bow |
| Crossbow / Mace | Vanilla Crossbow / Mace |
| Fishing Rod | Exotic Rod |
So the real prep work is gathering vanilla diamond gear (or the specific VortexXtra items noted above) plus Infernal Essence and Archangel Essence, see Materials & Components for how those essences are made.
A Few Notes
- Everything here is unbreakable.
- This is a genuine second tier below Satanic gear, if you're working your way up, this is the natural stepping stone.
