Standard Tactics:

Weaknesses: Has all the weaknesses of a normal god: They can be injured by supernatural weapons if they decide to fight physically; he/she may weaken, age, and take the form to represent their current state of said domain if its attacked; they fade from existence — either from a lack of worship or the diminishing of their domain and if their thrones (or other sources of power) are destroyed, they will also fade along with it

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Transfiguration: Athena can transmute and transfigure virtually anything into anything else with ease, she transformed Actaeon into a stag, Kallisto into a brown bear and when Sipriotes accidentally witnessed the goddess bathing, she, in an act of mercy, permanently transformed the youth into a maiden.
• True Form: Like the rest of the Greek Gods, Artemis possesses a "True Form" that manifests when she gathers all of her essences in one place. During this time, she emits blinding, searing light that can kill any mortal foolish enough to challenge her virtually instantly and vaporizing the physical forms of those who survive an initial glance.
• Archery: As the Goddess of Archery, Artemis is an extremely skilled archer. Her aim was so incredibly precise that she was able to split the Manticore's spikes mid-air with her arrows. As revealed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Artemis' arrows strike anyone, no matter how far they are. Her skills are only rivaled by her brother Apollo, and the Giant Orion. She combines her archery skills, with her control over moonlight and can shoot shafts of moonlight.

Notes:

• Avoid attempts to upgrade this verse based on characters holding up the sky, that is deemed an outlier due to requiring a hero, someone with strength, a true heart, and great courage to lift it and more consistent lifting feats show characters throwing mountains and flipping islands.
