Minerva is the third leader of the Omega Squad sent to kill the Vault hunters in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.
Strategy
Minerva and the other assassins are fast-moving melee units primarily, and will charge straight into melee range if they can. When taking heavy fire she often dives into a sideways combat roll that can whip her out of the immediate line of fire and allow her to quickly resume her pursuit to her target.
Using elemental attacks is a good strategy in order to ensure continual damage while they evade direct fire. Minerva has a powerful but quick kick that can send opponents flying, even over the guardrail and off the base. Try to avoid fighting close to the edge.
The Striking and Aerial Impact skills are useful in dazing the assassins, making them much easier to target.
Notes
- When fighting assassins it is possible for them to fall into deep gullies and survive. If the game is restarted the mission can be attempted again.
- She will respawn if her entire squad (including her) isn't killed.
- If Typhon is not killed yet she will respawn in the same spot as Kyros.
- Chance to drop DLC3 Class Mods.
Trivia
- Minerva is the name of the Roman goddess of wisdom, known in ancient Greece as Athena.
- Minerva is differentiated from most of the other assassins in that she wears no face mask. Despite this, she still has an electronically distorted voice like the others.
