Hades playthroughs will often challenge and punish you, and Athena’s there to keep up your defenses. One of the few Duo boons I liked was the one paired with Demeter (Stubborn Roots). If ever I had no more Death Defiance charges, I could simply kill all the enemies in a room and wait before forging ahead. Alternatively, I could just hide while staying away from mobs. This allows me to regen my HP within a few seconds.

Below, you can see Zagreus running around while green sparks float around him (Stubborn Roots’ HP regen). Oh, and you can also see the Soul Catcher (butterfly ball) that’s been charmed by Aphrodite’s Unhealthy Fixation Legendary skill.
