Baenarall, Angel of Hope is the first tier 2 crusader available from the event Nate's Candy Conundrum. She is an alternate crusader who swaps with The Princess.
At level 150, her ability Diversity increases the global DPS +20% per Unique Tag in the formation but minus 5% for each duplicate tag Crusader (all additive) (ie. male, male, human, animal = 40% for 2 unique tags (animal+human) - 5% for males being duplicates = 35%). This was announced in the blog to be 60% for 3 unique tags - 5% for extra male = 55%, but as of V0.106 the behavior is to only count tags as unique, which are literally unique (only one crusader in formation with that tag).
"Diversity" cannot reduce your DPS.
At level 400, Baenarall unlocks The Old Guard which increases the global DPS +5% for each non-event Crusader in the formation.

Angel of Despair
With her new skin, Baenarall can become an evil angel instead, giving a new twist on her abilities. This creates a single set of tag changes:

The above item list is transcluded from Baenarall, Angel of Hope/Items. (edit | history) |
- Previously Baenarall's Ancient Hatred somehow still has effect in time-limited mission that locked out speed boost buff and President's Act of Congress ability. However after certain fix, it is disabled
- Baenarall's ability to increase monster spawn speed makes her used as speed crusaders together with President Billy Smithsonian, Turps the Tasty, Sjin the Builder, Chef Casey and Penny the Park Planner. Mindy the Mime usually joins them by mimicking two of these crusaders
- For example, with Mindy the Mime copying both Ancient Hatred and Act of Congress for permanent super speed boost and drop rate, this can quickly accelerate the area given the DPS is enough, make it perfect opportunity to quickly farm Idols especially with assist of Deep Idol Scavenger talent
- To get Diversity Day achievement, OrigamiSwami made an example of decent formation for it:
If you don't have Frankie, you can replace him with Sally
- Thanks to her slot 5 rune, Baenarall has the highest possible unconditional spawn speed ability: 6000% with a level 6 rune, 5000000000% with level 11, and e25 with level 15. The only higher sources are Turps at e30 (requires a kill on area change to activate the spawn speed) and Ian at e53 (a Desert Bus crusader - no longer obtainable). This can make her an exceptional support for Oona, who scales multiplicatively with spawn speed.
