** To be more accurate, the Evangelions are the most easily deployed and most reliable way to defeat an Angel. AT-Fields can be pierced by raw force, however. Ramiel, for instance, was defeated by charging up a positron cannon with enough juice to just blow a hole in him AND his AT-Field, all EVA-01 did was serve as a weapons platform as the cannon was unfinished and therefor had no deployment apparatus. Certain other options exist to hit the 180 million megawatt figure stated to be necessary to overcome Ramiel's AT-Field, which was one of the strongest of all the Angels (behind Tabris and Zeruel, most likely). The largest nuclear devices, for instance, could likely knock out an Angel, though nuking them isn't exactly an ideal solution.
