''Flying Heartless that cast potent spells. They are born of holy spells. They attack from long range with magic. They block physical attacks with their wings, making them difficult to defeat.''

Design
Angel Stars, at first glance, appear to be fragile and weak Heartless. They get their name from their beautiful golden robotic wings, which are formed from two larger lower wings that have two slightly smaller wings attached to the top of them; the whole assembly is kept on with two bright purple orbs that form the joints.

Their transparent glass bodies form a delicate bell shape, housing a single filament that bears a strong resemblance to the jagged jawlines of other Heartless. It rests on a tapering blue-colored stand which ends in a spike and is decorated with two pale gold rings. The top of the glass is covered with blue cap, on top of which is a tear shaped gold topper; the topper features three shining bright gold dots towards the bottom resembling eyes, and the top end of it is curled in a manner reminiscent of the hats of several other types of Heartless.

The Kingdom Hearts Final Mix version features a different but equally etherial color scheme, with the wings now in soft blues and purples, the glass body a slightly smoky color, and the endcaps now done in silver and gold.

Strategy
Its attacks can be confusing at times, and they also can use their wings as a shield. Thunder would seem like a great idea since it's an airborne enemy, but it absorbs the spell. A simple plan is to attack it from behind, so that it cannot defend itself with its wings. If you tend to use Magical attacks more, try a Summon for long-range damage.
