After cycling around various challenges tonight, I decided to try a few attempts for Veteran Angelic Badge and got it again! Took more than just my first try this time, but I've now re-earned every badge I've previously had and currently am at 4/17 Angelic Badges on my current file, matching my lifetime count of them all.
This game essentially handed me a free win and while I did have to use some modestly good play early on, the rest was absolute cake.
A few floors in and I had a pretty good arsenal going:
On the next floor, I found a second nuke, meaning that with enough Invulnerability, I could clear out both the Spider Mastermind and JC without any risk of death, which is important because a full win requires surviving.
And to get even crazier, I found a third nuke and in the form of a Nuclear Plasma Rifle!
At the start of floor 6, I saw an Invulnerability, meaning I was pretty much set to go as I could then even use a quick nuke on floor 7 and continue dashing for the end. The floor was a decent challenge though with a fairly hot start in a maze level.
I blew out the barrel to split the map and cleared the left side, also keeping the Invulnerability safe.
After everything was dead, the Med-Pack at the top was helping funnel in all the Hell Knights and Barons.
I had Duelist Armor, Tactical Boots, and Hellrunner x2, giving me some great speed for floor 7.
And the game sealed the deal giving me another Invulnerability!
From here, I simply nuked floor 7, 8, and 9, and secured an easy win. Very happy to get lucky breaks like this!

I'm currently still trying to complete other challenges I haven't before, and although I have got this badge in the past, it's nice to have everything all in one save file. Technically, I am missing 50 JC kills, but other than that, it's all new stuff from here!
