Athena The Gladiator!
Athena is the first fully revealed character in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. She first appeared as a non-playable character in the DLC for 2009’s Borderlands, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. The former Lance Assassin allied with the Vault Hunters and worked alongside them in taking down General Knoxx. Players first meet her at T-Bone Junction at the start of the DLC’s main quest line.

Her class is considered to be a some-what “tank” style whose Action Skill, Kinetic Aspis, is a shield that comes up in her left arm when activated. The shield deflects incoming damage from the front. When the Action Skills timer runs down or low, it can then be tossed at nearby enemies. The shield will then deal damage to the enemies it bounces between until it fades away.

Skill Tree Powers!
Athena's Action Skill is the Kinetic Aspis. The Aspis is a shield that comes up in her left hand and absorbs bullets from the front as they're shot at her. When the skills timer is up, the shield can then be tossed Captain America style at enemies to deal double the damage it absorbed. Below is a list of known skill sets.
