Athel
Last Updated: August 12, 2025
Athel Overview
Athel has a long feud with Kael because she is one of the available starter champions however is overshadowed by Kael 90% of the time. Athel is a strong rare if you don’t want to pick Kael.
She is a rare from the sacred order faction. She does have a triple hit a1 with a weaken debuff making her a strong early to mid game champion for Fire Knight and Clan Boss. Athel is also capable of doing high damage Attack all Enemy hits on her A2 making her very viable as a campaign farmer, dungeon wave clearer and arena nuker. If you build her in this way ensure you only build her to 85% Crit Rate as her A2 naturally has an additional 15% chance to critically hit built in.
Overall a very strong rare with utility to play in almost every area of the game right through towards end game.
