Athena is one of the most challenging bosses in Anime Defenders, and defeating her is tricky. The problem with Athena is that she doesn’t take damage from some or most of your units, but there is a workaround that, and this Anime Defenders guide will teach you how to defeat Athena.

The trick to deal damage to Athena is that you have to use ground units, as they are the only units that can deal damage to her. This means that if you use any other units like aerial or hybrid, Athena will not take any damage from them. Here are some tips on how to beat her in Anime Defenders.
Tips to beat Athena in Roblox Anime Defender

You first want to look for powerful ground units since dealing damage doesn’t mean you can beat her. Some great options that you can look for are Fire Leg Master, The Beast, Cused Fighter, Chief of Ice, Ant King, Water Swordmaster, or Skull Warrior, among others.
These units are by no means the only ones you should aim for, as there are many other powerful units, but these will generally do well against Athena. Once you figure out the units, upgrade and assemble your team to head to the boss battle.
Once it starts, strategically place your units and upgrade the units that are in the best positions to deal the most damage. There is no guaranteed way to beat Athena, as it all depends on how you place your units and which ones you upgrade. Even if you fail once or twice, learn from that and come back stronger.
