Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, provides defensive boons built around the Deflect mechanic. Deflect allows Melinoe's attacks or dash to reflect projectiles back at enemies, turning offense into defense simultaneously. Athena's boons reward strategic positioning and timing, particularly in projectile-heavy encounters.

Athena's boons work best when committing to the primary status effect and selecting complementary boons from other gods that amplify or trigger off Deflect. Check individual boon articles for specific synergy details.
