* This card can be searched by "[[Dogu]]", "[[Single Purchase]]" and "[[Chaos Zone]]".
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Cyber Angel Benten]]", "[[Sky Scourge Cidhels]]", "[[Celestial Knightlord Parshath]]", "[[Victorica, Angel of Bravery]]", "[[Power Angel Valkyria]]", "[[Dwarf Star Dragon Planeter]]", "[[Shadow's Light]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Link Party]]", "[[Additional Mirror Level 7]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].
  
* This card works well with "[[Dark Valkyria]]".
+
* "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]", "[[Celestial Knightlord Parshath]]", and "[[Celestial Transformation]]" can [[Special Summon]] this card from the [[hand]].
  
* Using "[[Celestial Transformation]]" on an "[[Athena]]" and activating "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" while you control any other [[Fairy]] monster can deal up to 6000 damage (This is done by first inflicting 600 damage with the first Athena when her two copies are summoned, and then 1800 damage with each Athena (Thus, 5400 damage) by using each "Athena's" second effect to tribute the 4th fairy you have and summon another from the grave, triggering their first effect) . If you normal summon a Fairy type monster after 3 "[[Athena]]" is on the field you can deal another 1800 damage, a total 7800 damage. To finish the opponent completely, if you have gathered 2 level 4 fairy-types, Xyz summon "[[Fairy Cheer Girl]]".
+
* "[[Diviner of the Herald]]" and "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" can send any Fairy monster from the Deck to the GY, which can be Special Summoned with this card's effect by sending "Diviner"/"Asmodeus" to the GY.
  
* While this card is on the field, continuously attack your opponent's 1500 ATK or higher monsters with "[[Shining Angel]]" and "[[Nova Summoner]]". After you've cycled through all 6 of these cards in your deck, activate "Athena's" effect to offer the [[LIGHT]] Fairy-type monster to Special Summon a "[[Shining Angel]]" or a "[[Nova Summoner]]" in your graveyard. You will deal 3600 damage with Athena`s effect through this combo.
+
* "[[Darklord Superbia]]" has great synergy with this card. Not only can it Special Summon another [[Fairy]] monster from the [[GY]] when it is Special Summoned by this card, but it also allows a second copy of "Athena" to be Special Summoned from the GY, which can create an [[FTK]] loop.
 +
** This can be performed by using "Superbia" and the first "Athena" to [[Link Summon]] a Link-2 Fairy monster (e.g. "[[Condemned Darklord]]", "[[Protector of The Agents - Moon]]", "[[Artifact Dagda]]"), then using the second "Athena" to send that Link Monster to the GY and Summon "Superbia", which can Summon the other "Athena" from the GY again and repeat the process.
  
* Using the above combo with "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]" you take 0 damage from the battles as well as being able to Special Summon "[[Airknight Parshath]]" with "[[Nova Summoner]]". After that you could tribute "[[Airknight Parshath]]" to Special Summon "[[Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin]]" which has a lot of ATK.
+
* This card works well with "[[Trickstar]]" Decks, since they heavily rely on Special Summons, and are also focused on [[burn]] damage.
 
 
* The following strategy needs "[[Sanctuary in the Sky]]" and "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" to be activated, at least 1 "[[Divine Punishment]]" to be Set and "[[Darklord Superbia]]" to be in the Graveyard:
 
** Special Summon "[[Athena]]" from your hand by the effect of "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen|Valhalla]]"; Normal Summon "[[Meltiel, Sage of the Sky]]", then tribute it to activate "[[Athena]]"'s effect, and Special Summon "[[Darklord Superbia]]" from the Graveyard; Special Summon "[[Meltiel, Sage of the Sky|Meltiel]]" from the Graveyard by the effect of "[[Darklord Superbia|Superbia]]"; attack. If your opponent activates an effect, negate it using "[[Divine Punishment]]", gain 1000 LP and destroy 1 card by the effect of "[[Meltiel, Sage of the Sky|Meltiel]]".
 
*** This combo will give you 2 strong monsters and inflict, at least, 1200 damage to your opponent. After the triple attack, you will have dealt up to 8300 damage.
 
*** If you want one more monster and 600 more damage, activate "[[Celestial Transformation]]".
 
**** It's interesting to Special Summon "[[Archlord Kristya]]", because it will prevent monsters like "[[Tragoedia]]", "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]" and "[[Battle Fader]]" from being Special Summoned.
 
 
 
* If you use the first and second combo together you will deal 15000 damage (4800 per each "[[Athena]]" on the field plus additional 1200 for special summoning 3 "[[Athena]]s" with "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]").
 
 
 
* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]", "[[Gellenduo]]", "[[Serenade the Melodious Diva]]" and "[[The First Monarch]]", or [[Special Summon]]ed by using "[[Tribute Doll]]" or "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]".
 
** You could even [[Normal Summon]] this card with no [[Tributes]], with the [[Card Effects]] of "[[Summoner's Art]]", in combination with the [[Card Effects]] of either "[[Ancient Rules]]" or "[[Level Conversion Lab]]".
 
 
 
* You can send a "[[Radiant Jeral]]" from your side of the field to Special Summon another "[[Radiant Jeral]]" in your graveyard with "Athena's" effect while "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]" is on the field to increase your lifepoint by 1000 points each turn and fullfill the requirements of Fairy-type monster like "[[The Agent of Force - Mars]]", "[[The Agent of Judgment - Saturn]]", "[[Ancient Sacred Wyvern]]" or "[[Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin]]". They all need you to have higher life points that your opponent.
 
 
 
* Using "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" to Special Summon "[[Athena]]" could be done after Special Summoning other monsters with "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]". If you Special Summon a "[[Guardian Angel Joan]]", you have a 2800 beatstick as well as an easy way to gain "[[Life Points]]". If "Joan" is destroyed "Athena" can be Special Summoned and bring back "Joan" from the graveyard. You will have gotten rid of whatever resources your opponent had that destroyed "Joan" (and may have destroyed "Athena" if you summoned it first). If you gain Life points using "Joan's" effect it will be easier to use the effect of "[[The Agent of Force - Mars]]" or related cards.
 
 
 
* Use "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" to bring this card out on the first turn and "[[Foolish Burial]]" to send a powerful [[Fairy]] (like "[[Arcana Force XXI - The World]]") to the [[Graveyard]]. You can still [[Normal Summon]] so [[Summon]] a Fairy monster and use this card to send it to the graveyard to bring back the powerful fairy (and do 1200 damage to your opponent with Athena's effect).
 
** You can use the above combo using your Normal Summon to summon "[[The Agent of Creation - Venus]]" then use its effect to Special Summon 3 "[[Mystical Shine Ball]]s" and sacrifice one for "[[Athena]]s" effect to Special Summon "[[Arcana Force XXI - The World]]". If your opponent's field is clear, the total damage will be 8300 battle damage and 3000 points of effect damage.
 
 
 
* While "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]" and "[[DNA Surgery]]" (selecting [[Fairy]]-[[Type]]) are active, attack an opponent's monster with 3 copies of multiple searchers to inflict massive damage. An order that would work for this is "[[Nova Summoner]]", "[[Shining Angel]]", "[[UFOroid]]", "[[UFO Turtle]]", "[[Masked Dragon]]" and finally "[[Troop Dragon]]". If you have enough copies of the monsters, you can win the game like this.
 
 
 
* In fact, having "[[DNA Surgery]]" (Fairy) and "Athena" on the field means that your opponent will be taking 600 damage each time either player summons a monster.
 
** Use the above combo with one "[[Spear Cretin]]" in the graveyard and one face-down on the field. On your turn, Flip Summon "[[Spear Cretin]]" and tribute it via "Athena's" effect to Special Summon a Fairy-type monster in your graveyard and use "[[Spear Cretin]]'s" effect to Special Summon the other "[[Spear Cretin]]". Your opponent takes 1200 to 1800 damage depending on the position of the monster they summoned. You can use this method to swarm the field with Fairy-type monsters. Just watch out for monsters like "[[Snowman Eater]]" that your opponent may bring back. You can limit their options with a "[[Soul Release]]".
 
 
 
* You can use this card with "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]" to [[Special Summon]] "The Fool" to the field in [[Face-up]] [[Defense Position]]. It will also deal 600 damage.
 
 
 
* This card can be an extremely powerful asset in an [[Arcana Force|Arcana Force Deck]]. It not only damages the opponent for each [[Arcana Force]] monster summoned, but also has the ability to send the monster to the graveyard and reincarnate it for a second chance at the coin toss.
 
 
 
* [[Special Summon]] "[[Hanewata]]" with [[Athena]]'s effect to Synchro Summon a Level 8 [[Synchro Monster]].
 
 
 
* Use "[[Dark Room of Nightmare]]" to inflict 900 damage for each [[Fairy]]-Type monster Summoned instead.
 
 
 
* You can perform a [[OTK]] if you have "[[The Agent of Creation - Venus]]", "[[Hecatrice]]" and "[[Athena]]" in your hand as well as any field clearing spells such as "[[Heavy Storm]]", "[[Nobleman of Crossout]]" or "[[Fissure]]". First, fetch a "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" with "[[Hecatrice]]" and then use the "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Athena]]" and then follow up by Normal Summoning "[[The Agent of Creation - Venus]]" and pay 1500 life points to Special Summon 3 "[[Mystical Shine Ball]]s". Use "[[Athena]]'s" Special Summoning effect and tribute a "[[Mystical Shine Ball]]" to Special Summon "Hecatrice" and the damage from "[[Athena]]'s" effect will total 3000 at this point. After that, by using the appropriate Spell cards ("Lightning Vortex" and "Nobleman of Crossout" in most cases), you can clear the field and land direct attacks with all the monsters (2600 + 1500 + 1600 + 500 + 500 = 6700) to inflict a total of 9700 points of damage.
 
 
 
* "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" and "[[Darklord Superbia]]" have a lot of synergy with this card. "Asmodeus" can send any Fairy-type monster from your Deck the graveyard to be brought back with "Athena's" effect. "Superbia", when Special Summoned from the graveyard, can Special Summon another Fairy-type monster with it, giving you extra burn damage and an extra 2900 ATK beatstick in addition to the monster that you would have brought back anyway.
 
** Additionally, you can use "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" and other card effects to mill 2 "[[Athena]]" and "[[Darklord Superbia]]" and then when you have the third "[[Athena]]" on the field, you can summon a Fairy-type monster and then tribute it with "[[Athena]]"'s effect then summon "[[Darklord Superbia]]" then use his effect to summon "[[Athena]]" and repeat using "[[Darklord Superbia]]" as the tribute. After you finished using this effect, you will have 3 "[[Athena]]" on the field, "[[Darklord Superbia]]" and any Fairy-type monster from your grave on the field, and dealing 7800 damage in total. And with Superbia and 3 Athenas on the field, it's not hard to deal damage to the opponent.
 
 
* After properly [[Ritual Summon]]ing "[[Shinato, King of a Higher Plane]]," "[[Ruin, Queen of Oblivion]]," or "[[Herald of Perfection]]", you may use "[[Athena]]'s" effect to bring them back.
 
 
 
* When you [[Normal Summon]] "[[Majestic Mech - Ohka]]" or "[[Majestic Mech - Goryu]]" with their effects while you have a Fairy-type monster in your Graveyard, you can send them to the Graveyard and then re-summon them with "Athena's" effect to get around their self-destruct effect.
 
 
 
* While this card is on the field, and previously have set "[[Localized Tornado]]", attack your opponent's 1500 ATK or higher monsters with "[[Shining Angel]]" and/or "[[Nova Summoner]]". After you've Special Summon the 6th of these cards from your deck, activate "[[Localized Tornado]]" to Shuffle the other 5 in your graveyard back into the Deck, continue attaking. You will deal 8000 damage with Athena`s effect through this combo.

  • "Diviner of the Herald" and "Darklord Asmodeus" can send any Fairy monster from the Deck to the GY, which can be Special Summoned with this card's effect by sending "Diviner"/"Asmodeus" to the GY.
  • "Darklord Superbia" has great synergy with this card. Not only can it Special Summon another Fairy monster from the GY when it is Special Summoned by this card, but it also allows a second copy of "Athena" to be Special Summoned from the GY, which can create an FTK loop.
  • This card works well with "Trickstar" Decks, since they heavily rely on Special Summons, and are also focused on burn damage.
