EX Skill Hits Farthest Enemy Unit

The Palace Athene is a Bombardment mobile suit with high critical ATK, as well as a special EX skill targeting capabilities that allow it to hit backliners.

Its EX skill hits a targeted enemy for 537% ATK damage, hits the farthest enemy unit for the same amount, and increases beam damage by 50% for 20 seconds. When fully Transcended, this unit is able to use this EX skill early thanks to a 50% EX gauge restoration skill that it gets when battle begins.

What makes this EX skill's targeting effects good is how most backliners have damage buffs that only remain active when above a certain HP threshold. The Palace Athene can position itself so that the backliner in question is the farthest enemy unit, and its EX skill will take away those damage buffs, putting the target below the HP threshold.

To make the most out of this unit, you'll want it protected by a Gyan or a Taunt Tank since you'll be placing it in odd positions to make its EX skill hit a priority target, and you'll need these units to draw aggro away from the Palace Athene.

High Crit Damage

The Palace Athene's skill 1 grants 48% max HP, 48% Damage Taken Down, and 48% crit rate, drastically improving both its survivability and offense. Both defensive buffs allow it to withstand AoE attacks With the Ez8 alongside it, it'll benefit from over 100% crit rate for the first 30 seconds of combat and 90% after that 30-second window. These three buffs all come at the expense of a self-inflicted 20% movement speed debuff, hindering its ability to get in range to attack and kite melee attackers.

This mobile suit's Skill 2 grants a 400,000 max damage cap buff, a 99% critical ATK buff for its Third Weapon, and two 48% beam damage buffs that stay active when at or above the 100% and 80% max HP thresholds. This is yet another reason why it needs extra protection from something like the Gyan or Taunt tanks, as you want this unit as healthy as possible for maximum damage output.

Transcendence Increases Critical ATK

At max Transcendent Level, the Palace Athene gets 25% more accuracy, 36% more critical ATK, and the 50% EX gauge restoration skill we've already discussed. The accuracy buff here is its only accuracy buff, the critical ATK buff goes well with its other crit-related buffs, and the EX restoration buff allows it to hit the enemy target with its EX skill sooner, while benefiting from its 50% beam damage buff earlier.

Potential Unleashed increases both the EX skill damage and the beam damage buff potency.

Overall, the Palace Athene is a powerful Bombardment mobile suit for both PvP and PvE thanks to its high crit rate and damage, 400,000 damage cap increase, and special EX skill targeting capabilities. While it's surely a good unit, we're set to have extremely powerful banners soon, so spend your Diamonds at your own risk.

She'll also grant it 13% more critical ATK, three 38% ranged sense buffs, and a stacking ranged sense buff on critical hit that maxes out at 190%. Altogether, she'll grant this unit a maximum of 304% ranged sense.

You can try adjusting your Unit Enhancement setup if you can't win against certain stages. However, this will not guarantee you a win, so you should also factor in all the other elements in play and adjust accordingly.
