Actually I think Kaworu is most likely to take it this time. If he uses Rei's "taking you with me" scene, this will, in his mind, kill two birds with one stone. He won't destroy the world, and it will spare Rei the burden of killing him herself.

This is pretty much my current line of thinking as well. Then again, the possibility of this being kinda obvious might tempt Stryp to go for something else.
 
Well how does armisael work exactly?Remind those of us who either have never seen the show or don't watch it religously.
 
Since Asuka can still sync with 02 and they have an extra EVA, the battle might not go as bad as it did in canon. So hopefully, no one will have to die to destroy Armisael.

Like The Englanderish said, it's he behaves like an infectious agent whose purpose is to corrupt the Evas into spawning new angels from their bodies.

Rei kills it by containing the angel inside of Unit-00 and then destroying herself to ensure it dies.

Why? I mean, with more EVAs in the field, Armisael will be open to attack if it tries to merge with any of them.
Don't forget we have Commander Contrarian in play.
 
As far as angels go, Armisael is as much a cheater as Liliel and Iruel. Aside from the decoy-into-self-destruction method, I'm not sure there is a way to kill it, barring other forms of overwhelming firepower.
Edit: maybe find something toxic to it? Armisael seems purpose built to hard-counter EVAs.

The only possible way would be to contain it inside an AT field of either a cubic or spherical shape and then compress it into until there is nothing but red inside.

You only need 4 planes to make a tetrahedron....

You can do a cylinder with 2 planes and one surface but that curve might be pushing the laws of physics a bit far to be taken seriously.;)
 
If Shinji dies fighting Armisael, this would quickly turn into a dark fic, so that was Strypgia plan along.
The only way to make the cruelest dark fic is to lure the reader into thinking things will turn out all right and then hit them where it hurts when they expect it the least.

@Strypgia, was this your true plan after all?

I wasn't kidding.

In addition to fusing with the EVA, it also linked to the mind of the pilot and engaged in two-way dialogue. That might also be a weak point for Armisael, if the pilot can figure out how to exploit it.

It also seemed to link to the pilot's senses. That could also be a weak point.

If Shinji's life wasn't going so well, That might prompt the angel to just go off and die. Curse this fic for making that particular funny moment impossible.
 
Good point. Back on track! Who do we think gets Armisael?
I'm going to bet on the long shot here: Asuka.

Armisael attacks. Gendo prefers fielding his "reliable" pilots over his "loose cannons", so Rei takes point. But she suffers the same Arael-induced sync problems that Asuka did in canon, and has to withdraw. Kaworu goes next: he can sync despite the Arael problem due to Adam-hax, so he rushes in and Armisael goes for him.

But this is where things go horribly wrong. His soul and body are too close to Adam's, and so instead of causing a canon-style invasion, Armisael's attack threatens to trigger a full-blown Impact right then and there. Gendo has to dip into the high-risk pilot pool, but doesn't want Yui anywhere near that, so Asuka deploys. But without the Lance available, she only has one method available to stop Third Impact from occurring right then and here: self-destruct Unit-02 around the Kaworu/Unit-03/Armisael amalgamate.

Consequences: Shinji snaps, not unlike canon. Hikari loses her mother again. Kaworu's cover is blown and made moot in the space of a few minutes. The fight against the Seventeenth Angel is experiencing technical difficulties. What Rei-III? And how will the WAFF ever recover?

Lots of speculation. Only one certainty: Stryp is going to kill us all.
