Angelic Alliance is a relic class combination artifact and is equipped in the Weapon slot. Combination artifacts were first added in the Shadow of Death expansion.
In addition to the regular bonuses (a total of +21 to all primary skills), the Angelic Alliance allows the player army to include creatures from towns of good and neutral alignment while retaining the +1 morale bonus, as if they were all from one faction. In the original game , Conflux units cannot be included as they prevent the morale bonus. In Horn of the Abyss , Conflux, Cove, and Factory units can be included in the army while retaining the morale bonus. Note that neutral creatures do not count as neutrally aligned for any purpose. While the artifact is equipped, the before mentioned factions, which have the morale bonus, are considered to be one faction. Adding evil units, neutral creatures, or Conflux units (the latter not in Horn of the Abyss ) prevents the morale bonus, but units from good and neutral alignment towns are still considered to be the same faction. For example, having units from Castle, Tower, and Inferno gives no morale bonus or penalty as if the hero had units of just two factions.
At the first turn of its owner in the combat, the Angelic Alliance casts Expert Prayer for 10 rounds, unless there are circumstances which prevent casting this spell (for example, allied creatures' immunity, Cursed Ground, anti-magic artifacts). Angelic Alliance gives the highest boosts to primary skills out of any combination artifact in the game, handily outclassing even Power of the Dragon Father despite filling fewer artifact slots (6 slots as opposed to 9 slots for Power of the Dragon Father).
The Angelic Alliance is the most expensive artifact in Shadow of Death.
The mixed alignment morale penalty removal effect now affects Conflux, Cove, and Factory units. As all of these factions are neutral, the Horn of the Abyss developers decided to add them to the list of towns affected by and included in the alliance.
This artifact is referenced in the Calamity Mod for Terraria with an item of the same name. It provides the same type of all-round buff and the sound of Prayer is played upon the activation of the buff.
