Today (23rd) August, Netmarble’s THE KING OF FIGHTERS: ALLSTAR launched their new “アテナと一緒に真夏の宵祭り ” (True Summer Festival with Athena) event.

KOF All Star

The event is a combination of the previous two events. The event stage will have three stages, with the final stage being a fight against the event exclusive “Festival Athena”.  Depending on the stage difficulty, players will be rewarded with special Athena Tokens. Similar to the previous Rugal event, players will be able to trade 100 Athena Tokens and 100k gold for the event exclusive character. All the materials required to evolve and limit break the Festival Athena can only be obtained via exchanging token in the Event Store.

Asides from the obvious element advantage, it is important to gather enough power on each character to use their Finisher Skill (the skill that uses power but doesn’t require Special Card). The reason why you want all three characters to have enough power is that Finisher Skills will remove the floating orbs around Athena at the final boss fight. This will stun Athena for a short duration, giving you a small window to deal damage without fear of interruption.

Most of Athena’s skills are quite easy to get out of. The only ones you need to look out for asides for her specials are skills that have a medium length rectangular AoE box. Those skills will hit you despite being behind her.

Her first Special Skill will make her disappear and reappear in another location followed by an aerial dive attack. An exclamation mark will appear on your character when she disappears. When she is about to reappear, the exclamation mark will turn yellow. Keep moving and you’ll be safe from this one.

The second Special Skill summons meteors which fall onto the stage. Simply walk away from the AoE and you’ll be fine. You might need to chain evade to get out of the area.

Her final Special Skill is an AoE attack that affects the full area. This skill can be dodged, so pay attention to the exclamation mark above your fighter, when it turns yellow that is around the time (give or take a second) you should evade.
