Athena Shield

First of all, let's talk about how it looks. Athena Shield (which is also often called 'Athena' only) is an item that belongs to the category of defense or 'Defense'. As the name implies: 'Shield', or which means 'Shield' or 'Shield'.

In addition to the nickname, this item is also often identified as a 'Pink Shield' due to its appearance which is dominated by a glowing pink color.

With such a striking appearance, Vicigers certainly won't have a hard time finding it among the various other Defense Items.

In terms of its own design, Moonton has only changed the graphics from Athena Shield once. This was done exactly when 2 years ago the developer made visual revamped of various items simultaneously as a form of "rejuvenation" and improving the quality of HD displays.

Athena Shield Mechanics and Attributes

Mechanic

Regarding the mechanics themselves, Athena is a category of defense item that is very suitable for counteracting magical damage. Yes, if you meet mage users, this item is perfect for use.

Eits, but don't just use it! There are also a number of things to consider when you want to choose this item for the hero you use in the game.

Athena is more suitable to be used to ward off burst magical damage output. Some mages with this type of output are like Eudora, vale, Aurora, Kadita, etc.

The heroes above will tend to rely on their skill combos to be able to pick-off targets. As for poke mages who rely on setups such as Valir, Chang'e, Zhask, etc., it will be more suitable to be countered by Radiant Armor items. So, don't choose it!

Attribute

Athena's mainstay in warding off magical burst damage is of course the acquisition of the shield (white blood) given by her. This is also combined with his passive which can reduce magical damage by 25% for 3 seconds.

Apart from that, he also provides defense attributes that are no less important: additional 900 HP, +62 magic defense, and +2 HP regen as the latest buff given by Moonton. It's only natural that all of this eventually makes the item a meta.

Athena Shield build path

For the build path, Viciger needs to buy 2 items first, namely Vitality Crystal (+230 HP) and Silence Robe (+540 HP & +30 Magic Defense).

Yep, this item known as the 'Blue Cloak' is the core of the Athena Shield which provides her magic defense in the future.

This cloak itself is obtained by combining Magic Resist Cloak (+18 Magic Defense) and Vitality Crystal.

We suggest that you prioritize magic defense items first rather than HP acquisition.

So buy a Magic Resist Cloack first to make Silence Robe. Only after that, combine it with each Vitality Crystal so that the Athena Shiel build can be owned as soon as possible.
