Game Usage
- Athena evaporates most other cruisers within a few seconds, making it the backbone unit of most PHC armies, simply offering excellent brute force firepower to deal with cruisers, dreadnoughts and juggernauts.
- Despite having a weapon to deal with frigates, Athena is generally helpless against a squad of frigates and will require support from frigates or anti-frigate cruisers, such as the Zeus. Unlike Mauler, Athena can fire its main weapon on frigates. While this has no real downside as Athena doesn't require energy to do so (like Mauler does), this will cause the weapon to incur attack cool down and this might mean death when facing enemy Athenas and/or Maulers soon after the enemy frigate is destroyed.
- Despite offering very reliable brute force damage, Athena will eventually have problem with heavy cruisers, high level dreadnoughts, juggernauts or dreadnoughts and/or juggernauts with proper support armies should they ever gain critical mass or level advantage. Thus, it's important to transition out of mass Athena when it's no longer effective.
