Athena Exclamation Saint is an excellent unit, but also a very complex one, and in many cases more complex than necessary. Trinity - Awakening lets you rotate between defensive, offensive, and control profiles in the same character, while Light-speed Fist and Shadow Tactic change their function every round based on the selected Saint. That gives him real flexibility in draft and allows him to answer many different situations.

In practice, however, that versatility comes with a cost. The kit asks you to invest heavily in all branches to unlock its real value, because Athena’s Exclamation and the upgraded forms from Shadow Tactic scale much better when the entire package is developed. He feels like a Swiss Army knife: useful and functional, but not the absolute best specialist in damage, protection, or control compared to dedicated picks.

For that reason, his build path is expensive in Skill Books and demanding in stats and cosmos quality. He can work in multiple lineups, but he is not a common choice in Jamir or very high-end PvP.

Pros

It has good offensive and defensive power. Good balance.
Athena Exclamation has good animation for all fans.
It can be used in multiple lineups.

Cons

It does not have a defined role.
It requires many Skill Books.
It requires a lot of speed, status hit, damage, etc. You need cosmos that are difficult to obtain.

Skill 2

Shadow Tactic

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Unlocks different abilities based on the Saint selected in [Trinity] at the beginning of the round. Scorpio Milo: Unlocks [Scarlet Needle] Aries Mu: Unlocks [Crystal Wall] Leo Aiolia: Unlocks [Lightning Plasma]. [Scarlet Needle - Awakening]: Attacks the target 3 times, each time dealing damage equal to that of [Light-speed Fist - Needle]; the damage dealt to the main target will bypass Cover and Hidden, with a 60% chance to add 1 stack of Bleed. Before [Scarlet Needle] deals damage, damage taken by the target will increase by 10% for 1 action round (can be purified); after casting [Scarlet Needle], Athena's Exclamation will be permanently enhanced. When it is cast, damage taken by all enemy units will increase by 4% for 2 action rounds (can be purified). [Crystal Wall - Awakening]: Casts Crystal Wall on allies and themselves, granting a Shield equal to 15% of their max HP. When the Shield is destroyed or renewed, all ally units will recover HP equal to the Crystal Wall Shield (lasts for 2 action rounds). As Crystal Wall is cast, hard-control effects on the targets will be removed, and allies' Skill Res will increase by 5% for 1 action round. Casting [Crystal Wall] permanently enhances Athena's Exclamation. Crystal Wall will record the amount of damage absorbed. Once cast, Starlight Extinction will be launched, dealing P.DMG equal to (2% of Max HP + 8% of absorbed damage) to all enemies. It can record damage up to 15% of Max HP. [Lightning Plasma - Awakening]: Attacks all enemies with lightning strikes, dealing 100% P.DMG with a 90% (+ Status HIT) chance to inflict Paralysis on the main target and increase their Energy cost by 1, as well as a 5% (+ Status HIT) chance to inflict Paralysis on other targets and increase their Energy costs by 1; the effect lasts for 1 action round. Targets under control effects will receive one additional lightning strike, taking the same damage as the previously dealt one. After this skill is cast, Athena's Exclamation will be permanently enhanced. When Athena's Exclamation deals damage, there is a 15% (+ Status HIT) chance to inflict Paralysis on the main target, with a 4% (+ Status HIT) chance to inflict Paralysis on other targets.

Skill 3

Athena's Exclamation

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Charges for 1 round, then deals 700% P.DMG and 100% C.DMG to the main target before making the next move, while dealing 200% P.DMG and 100% C.DMG to other enemy units. If the main target dies, they attack a random enemy. For each Saint's Cosmo ignited, the final damage for this attack will increase by 30%. While charging, if Leo's Cosmo is already ignited, they gain immunity to Exile, Restrict, and Freeze. After the damage is dealt, the damage they deal will permanently increase by 5% (can be stacked 4 times).

Skill 4

Trinity - Awakening

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Before taking action, players may select which Saint to use in the current round and ignite his Cosmo for 2 action rounds: Scorpio: Damage dealt to the main target bypasses Shield, Grace, and Revival. Aries: Prevents death when taking fatal damage and immediately casts [Crystal Wall] to protect himself. If the fatal damage occurs while [Athena's Exclamation] is charging, he will die only after the skill is cast (can only be triggered once per battle). Leo: Gains immunity to control effects except Banish and Restrict. If no target dies from this attack, then his Energy cost will reduce by 1 for 1 action round. On top of that, the active skills of all three forms will be enhanced.
