The King of Fighters XV/Athena Asamiya/Strategy

General Gameplan

Athena is a zoner who has it all. An extremely good fireball, an invincible anti air reversal, teleports, and a very strong reflector allow her to deal with just about anything the opponent can throw at her. Athena’s 214A fireball is highly advantageous on block at all ranges besides point blank, making it an excellent tool for starting, maintaining, and resetting pressure. Once you’ve pushed your opponent to the corner, Athena’s pressure becomes even stronger and she gains access to extremely high damage combo routes courtesy of her EX moves.
