—MLBB Equipment Tips
|
- Athena's Shield is best equipped by
Tanks or Fighters against Magic heroes that can do a quick combo to deal high amount of Magic Damage. - For enemies dealing magical damage on multiple stages like Harley or Chang'e, Radiant Armor is more efficient.
- Tanks and Fighters that wear this can safely check bushes even if the enemy has burst mages hiding in as they will mostly be able to survive the ordeal.
- In the laning phase, heroes who deal Magic Damage will be able to poke and wait for the Shield to first dissipate before unleashing their full burst when given the opportunity, this however is only possible at the early to middle stages of the game as team fights usually start and end in mere seconds.
- Mostly paired with Antique Cuirass, Blade Armor and Radiant Armor to counter every types of damage (except True Damage).
- Examples of Suitable Heroes:
- Effective Against:
Notes[]
As explained in Shield, all incoming Magic Damage are automatically reduced by 25% within 4 seconds. Unlike 
Guardian Helmet who cannot reduce the triggering damage. This passive is visible to everyone and is very effective against 
Divine Glaive.
Enemies whose basic attacks deal magical damage, such as 
Natan or 
Kimmy can trigger this passive before them using any abilities.
Rose Gold Meteor, 
Magic Blade, and Athena's Shield all share the same blue aura effect when their Unique Passives are triggered. This can be used to confuse enemies if Shield was triggered or Rose Gold Meteor and Magic Blade's Unique Passive Lifeline was triggered.
Keener enemies will however be able to differentiate the difference on what Unique Passive triggered as Lifeline includes a Shielding effect, but the possibility of both triggering simultaneously can happen making one near impervious to any form of Magic Damage.
