Having both Speed Summon and Can't Attack allows Angel Protector to defend the round that it's brought into play.
Token Angel Protectors can be created by the ability of Angel Trumpet.
This card does half of what Abandoned Fortress does, which is used more often because generally locations are easier to sustain than monsters.
The advantage it gains in being a monster however, is that it doesn't help both players.
If the Angel Protector itself is the blocker its ability does not reduce spillover damage (as it is not alive at the time the spillover occurs).
Similarly, due to the order that monsters take damage in, if Angel Protector dies in combat, only the spillover from defenders to the left of the Angel Protector is reduced. ^{[needs testing]}
If multiple Angel Protectors are in play they stack as a multiplier: two Angel Protectors result in taking 1/4 damage, as opposed to if they both took off half, which would result in no damage.
