Nisha or Athena ?

[Færch]

So i have played Nisha and Athena but im not really sure which one i wanna play. My Athena is level 16 and my Nisha is level 6. Who is better in your opinion ? In BL2 i played The Siren, Krieg and a little bit Gunzerker

Nisha

I have not started to play, but I heard Nisha.

I tried them both, here's my conclusion.

Nisha is easy to play, she's got an aimbot as her skill and is good to be used as an offensive character.
Athena, if you invest a lot of points into her shield, can become very powerful and a bit more like a defensive and support character.
Or you can go full offensive with a melee build and a melee shield.
I personally enjoy Athena more because I dont like the idea that the game aims for me.
Its usually not accurate, especially when enemies are flying or sprinting.
I'd rather use my own hand to aim :D

Nisha if you want to do crazy DPS with Showdown. Athena if you want to do Maya-esque team support with free health and shield regen and taunt. Athena is my main, but the one thing I hate is that 50% of the time I am hip-firing, so my weapon choice is somewhat limited.

Personally I think Nisha is a 1 trick pony. No real team support, defenses, or buffs.

DOnt listen to those saying Nisha has no defenses. She can be as tanky as Athena, if not more so.

Anyways, I like Nisha better. Athena seems kind of boring, imo.

Best is Claptrap, though.

Agreed, but you know, in BL2, I very rarely used my skill, except in very sticky, I might really die soon situations or the easiest cop out, "I don't have time for this". But I reserve my opinion, I have not played yet.

With Athena if you are speccing heavily into Phalanx (like me) you want to use it as much as possible, especially in a group since it grants health and shield regen based on damage taken. When the Aspis is out, the shield regen alone can keep you from taking any health damage and will frequently save your teammates or your own life, especially when facing bosses. Not to mention when thrown the damage it does scales based on damage absorbed so you want to max it out before throwing it.

My advice - if you are primarily playing solo, play Nisha, if you have a group that you frequently play with, then play Athena. Athena's group support it amazing - ranged rez, group shield and health regen, 100% damage absorb from the front, high health and shields make her very tanky.

Nisha owns things so hard prob makes the game a little easier. Im about to make an athena cause her gameplay seems awesome

Oh, I'm aware on the damage dealer thing. I play with my good buddy and he plays Nisha. He just picked up her legendary class mod out of the vending machine. He can now wreck so much face I can't even come close to keeping up. But without the heals and ranged rez he would be dying A LOT. I just like playing support characters better, and actually Nisha and Athena compliment each other very well. Together than could probably duo the raid bosses.

Athena! its so much fun powering up her shield and throwing it so far to one hit kill enemies! :) super useful too with co-op. seriously one of the best video game charcters ever.

I've played them both and enjoyed them for different reasons.

Nisha is primarily offensive, although the left tree is heavily defensive. I would compare her most to the gunzerker, as she has some very strong damage dealing abilities.

Athena is more tactical to me, and I really like this. I would compare her more to the siren in terms of relatable playstyle. She is quite strong offensively, but has the obvious strong defensive option of the shield.

Which you enjoy more will depend on your playstyle. Personally, I prefer Athena, but my friend is the exact opposite. I will say that Athena's action skill takes a little longer to really get a feel for and use to its full potential. Hope this helps.

That is a common misconception. But if you look closely at the skills, you will realize that she can easily get 130% gundamage from it, even more with bonuses to the appropriate skills, which is actually MORE than the other trees offer.

[Lucas McCain]

I'm not saying the left tree is not offensive in nature as well, just that it is more heavily defensive than the other two trees.

Survivability is way up with Athena.

Athena is hotter so i choose her.
