Special:Badtitle/NS1198:A.T. Field/5/en
Although A.T. Fields were at first seen to be a purely defensive ability, it is demonstrated throughout the series that A.T. Fields can be used in an offensive fashion. The first instance of this was when the Angel Sahaquiel used its A.T. Field in Episode 12 to crush several nearby satellites attempting to observe it in Earth orbit[1]. Leliel's bizarre multi-dimensional pocket-dimension is apparently created by inverting its A.T. Field in some way. Arael's mind-probe attack is based on a special projection of its A.T. Field. Eva-01 itself wielded its A.T. Field as a weapon in Episode 19 at the climax of the battle against the Angel Zeruel, projecting it to slice through the Angel's body and cripple it. By Eva 02's final battle in The End of Evangelion, Asuka's piloting abilities had increased to the point that she offensively wielded Eva-02's A.T. Field against advancing JSSDF hoverjet squadrons and tank battalions.
- ↑ A.T. Fields can oppose each other and act as a barrier to each other as well - Eva-01's A.T. Field blocks Sahaquiel's A.T. Field and keeps the Angel suspended in the air (although demanding a lot of physical strength from the Eva itself) before the other two Evas arrive.
