Guide

This article is for the role with the Protect ability.

For the any dead character without the Protect ability, see Ghost.

The Guardian Angel is a role in Among Us. It is based on the Crewmate role with the added ability to cast a protective shield around a living player as a ghost.

Goals[]

The primary goal of the Guardian Angel is the same as a standard Crewmate. However, as a ghost, they can protect their fellow Crewmates from being killed by an Impostor. If an Impostor tries to kill a protected Crewmate, a shield will appear and crack, preventing the Crewmate from being killed.

Becoming a Guardian Angel[]

Depending on the probability, a Crewmate who is killed by an Impostor or ejected may become a Guardian Angel. Depending on the number of Guardian Angels set by the host in the lobby options, each subsequent Crewmate who becomes a ghost can also become a Guardian Angel until the maximum number of Guardian Angels set by the host is reached.

Abilities[]

Protect[]

Main article: Protect

As a ghost, the Guardian Angel has access to the Protect ability, which allows them to cast a protective shield around any living player for a limited time. The shield prevents Crewmates from being killed by Impostors. This ability replaces the Haunt ability that other ghosts can use by default, meaning Guardian Angels cannot use the Haunt ability.

Use[]

Main article: Use

A Guardian Angel can use for a variety of interactions. The most common interaction is to activate and complete tasks. Use is in the bottom right corner of the screen, and can be replaced by Security, Admin, Vitals, or Doorlog when near the appropriate panel.

Options[]

Options for the role can be set in the lobby options.

Probability: The maximum number of Crewmates that can become Guardian Angels, and the likelihood of any given killed or ejected Crewmate to become one.
Protect Cooldown: The amount of time between uses of the protect ability by the Guardian Angel before they can protect again.
Protect Duration: How long the protection lasts after being activated.
Protect Visible to Impostors: Whether the Guardian Angel's protections are visible to Impostors or not.

Trivia[]

There is a role reveal screen for this role. This is to prevent the game from crashing should An Impostor kill a Crewmate during the role reveal (which is not possible in normal gameplay). There is no sound when this role screen appears.
When there are multiple players around the Guardian Angel, the closest one to the Guardian Angel will be protected.
The Guardian Angel can protect any player regardless of their role, including Impostors.
Guardian Angels cannot Haunt, making them unable to determine whether a player is An Impostor or a Crewmate.
Guardian Angels are unable to use Protect during Comms Sabotaged.
