Athena

Athena is a mid-range base bomber.

Properties
Athena will target only structures. Athena will fire four bombs in a burst of two at the target structure. Although it never targets ships, the bombs that it fires can collide with any unit.

Puma, Odyssey, Athena, and Tremor are the only medium ships that don't cost metal.

Strategies

 * Try to roll for a Cloaked + Self-Destruct Athena. As it does not attack ships, it will remain cloaked until it gets to the enemy base. Same strategy applies for Mosquito.


 * If your economy allows it, use Athena instead of Mosquito for base bombardment.
 * Because Athena does not cost any metal, it is possible to get an Athena out immediately by eqquiping 4 supplies technologies. This can surprise your opponent, however it leaves you vulnerable, especially if your opponent is also rushing, or manages to counter the initial Athena damage. undefined
