Athena/Boons (Hades II)

Athena boons revolve around in applying her unique buff Deflect to Melinoë's attacks which allows melee or range attacks to be reflected back to the attacker. Additionally, Athena can restore Death Defiance charges. Athena's elemental affinity is Fire. Athena has no Infusion or Duo Boons with the other gods. Athena offers her boons whenever Melinoë speaks to her after a Divine Intervation on Mount Olympus or wields the Gorgon Amulet keepsake on any region.

“	"She who bears the aegis is protector of the heavens and the righteous." "However fraught the path to victory may be, she always finds the way." "With wisdom, many challenges may be overcome; and many more, avoided."	„

Divine Dash provides Deflect for 0.35 seconds per use. The Deflect effect also provides full invincibility frames during its entire duration (0.35 sec.). Since Divine Dash has no cooldown, it synergizes with Hermes' Stutter Step, allowing for frequent and consistent Deflects between dashes.	None

Righteous Pike Whenever you use 90, up to 3 foe are stuck by spears from heaven. ▸ Spear Damage: 150/200/250/300 Rightenous Pike counts as Olympian Damage	Righteous Pike summons 3 spears each time it activates. Its detection range is extensive, effectively covering the entire screen. Each spear has an individual hitbox, allowing it to deal splash damage and inflict heavy damage on grouped enemies. Righteous Pike has no cooldown between spear activations, allowing it to synergize well with weapons that have fast-paced Ω Moves, such as Umbral Flames' Ω Attack (excluding the Aspect of Eos). Righteous Pike does not cause hitstun and triggers at a fixed location rather than directly targeting enemies (unlike Blitz or Cut Above), meaning moving or unstaggered enemies may evade the spears entirely.	None
Task Force If your Hex is Godsent, that effect may activate multiple times in each Location. ▸ Bonus Godsent Hex: +1/+2/+3/+4	This Boon can only appear if you have a Godsent Hex.	Defeat Typhon
