Sanctum Archangel is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII fought in Eden. It can guard to resist damage, but while guarding, it cannot attack. As they appear in groups, the player can concentrate on the others if one is guarding. They can be quickly staggered and launched in the air, but the player can't launch the Archangel if it is guarding. Its attack can easily interrupt the player's actions, and Vigilance hardly makes a difference, so it'd be easier to focus on attacking them while they aren't guarding.
