Athena is a blue Guard of Order hero with two jobs: her third skill makes your electricity gathering faster and bigger for the whole account, and her talent adds 5% to the attack of every Guard of Order hero.
- Class: SUP
- Faction: Guard of Order (Rider troops)
- Rarity: blue (B)
- Arrived: the base roster
- In one line: the electricity-gathering specialist, with the early faction-attack talent
What Athena does in Last Z
Athena fights with a pistol. Bullet Upgrade raises the damage of her normal attacks, and Pistol Shooting is her active. Both are blue-grade skills you’ll outgrow in your first week.
Gathering Master: Electricity is the skill you keep. It’s a Global Effect that raises electricity gathering speed and electricity production for the whole account, up to 45% and 30% at the cap, and its stars add more of both. Every power run and every generator in the base pays out more with her levelled, from the barracks.
Her talent, Faction Attack, raises the attack of every Guard of Order hero by 5%. It unlocks at level 50 with four stars, blue fragments make that a quick target, and it stacks with Leah’s purple +10%.
Athena’s skills and stats
| Skill | Type | What it does at level 30 | What each star adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet Upgrade | Normal Attack Boost | Raises the damage factor of her normal attacks. Grows with skill level. | +30, +30, +30, then +40 and +70 to the damage factor |
| Pistol Shooting | Active Skill | Fires her pistol at the enemy. The damage factor climbs with skill level. | +60, +60, +60, +80, then +140 to the damage factor |
| Gathering Master: Electricity | Global Effect | Electricity gathering speed +45% and electricity production +30%, account-wide. | Electricity gathering speed +3%, electricity output +15%, electricity gathering speed +6%, resource output +20%, then electricity gathering speed +15% |
| Faction Attack | Exclusive Talent | Increases the hero ATK of the Guard of Order faction by 5%. | The talent itself; no star steps |
Her attack, defence and troop size climb with her level, stars, skill levels and gear, so the live figures are on her hero card in your own game. As a blue hero she starts well below the purple and orange roster and caps lowest of all.
The upgrade order that gets the most out of her:
- Level her to 30 and put skill books into Gathering Master: Electricity.
- Four stars and level 50 for Faction Attack. Cheap, permanent, faction-wide.
- Five stars when they come. The last gathering step is the biggest.
- Nothing on her combat skills.
Is Athena worth it for F2P?
Yes, as a base hero. Electricity gates research and a good deal of construction, and a gathering bonus that runs from the barracks is the kind of thing a free player feels every day. The faction talent is a small bonus on top, and the whole package costs blue fragments and skill books rather than anything scarce. Never field her in a formation that matters, and never give her cores.
How to get Athena fragments
Athena comes through Hero Recruitment Tickets at the Club, and she also appears in the Warrior Battle Pass and the shop’s special offers. Her stars take blue fragments, which the game pays out faster than any other kind. Four stars is the milestone for the talent; five is the last gathering step.
Best build and gear for Athena
Hero gear fills four slots: Gun, Helmet, Armor and Boots. Give Athena none. Neither her gathering skill nor her talent reads her gear.
Athena’s best formation and faction pairing
Both of her useful effects run from the barracks, so she doesn’t need a formation. If she’s filling a slot while your roster is thin, keep that squad Guard of Order for Evelyn’s per-hero bonus, and remember the faction triangle: Guard of Order beats Wings of Dawn, Wings of Dawn beats Blood Rose, and Blood Rose beats Guard of Order.
If she marches, keep the squad Guard of Order:
- William, her blue opposite number, with the matching +5% faction defence talent.
- Leah and Elizabeth, the purple pair whose talents stack on top.
Athena vs the alternatives at the same role
| Hero | Faction | Rarity | What she’s for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athena | Guard of Order | blue | Electricity gathering, and +5% attack to the faction |
| Giselle | Blood Rose | blue | The same design for wood |
| Natalie | Wings of Dawn | blue | The same design for food |
| Leah | Guard of Order | purple | +10% attack to the faction |
The three blue gathering heroes are one design in three factions and three resources, and an account wants all three levelled whatever faction it runs, because the gathering bonuses don’t care which faction the hero belongs to. Leah is the purple version of Athena’s talent, and the two stack.
Where she lands against the whole roster is on the tier list. For what to do with her in your first day, the beginner’s progression guide covers it.
