Greetings, brave champions! In this spotlight, we dive deep into the mystic waters of the East, where the Dragon God Ryujin reigns supreme. With his legendary jewels, Manju and Kanju, he commands the very essence of the sea. These jewels are yours to wield, and they will empower you to cleanse the battlefield of the Dominion Forces with the might of the ocean itself. Let's explore the awe-inspiring gifts bestowed upon you by the Dragon King and his jewels:



Upon invoking this celestial gift, you conjure a swirling zone of water around you. This aqueous vortex periodically damages any nearby enemies, enveloping them in the cleansing power of the sea. As you move through the battlefield, the Dominion Forces will feel the tide of your wrath, washing over them like a relentless wave.



With this jewel’s power, the water zone expands, amplifying its reach and influence. Enemies caught within this area face the full force of your aquatic onslaught. Additionally, the Jewel of Manju grants you a one-time boost in movement speed, allowing you to swiftly maneuver through the battlefield.



The Jewel of Kanju enhances your control over the waves. It increases the chance of hitting enemies multiple times, ensuring that no Dominion Forces escape the deluge of your assault. Furthermore, it allows the waves to carry the potential of on-hit effects, delivering additional punishment to your foes.


Harness the power of the Dragon King's jewels to become a force of nature on the battlefield. Cleanse your surroundings with Ryujin's Aura, expand your reach with the Jewel of Manju, and unleash devastating multi-hit attacks with the Jewel of Kanju. The Dominion Forces will soon learn that when the sea rises, so does the tide of your power.

Every story etched in our history has been written by those that emerged victorious; heroes and villains, fighting for the destiny of our realm. In the world of Champion Shift, these stories are shrouded in the shadow cast by the imposing force known as the Dominion.

As the world grew and became interconnected, a corporation led by a mysterious but eccentric individual seized every opportunity to tighten its grip on systems, infrastructure, and even entire governing bodies. The Dominion, as they came to be known, etched their name synonymously with control. No one could escape them. No one would oppose them.

Their secluded leader, hidden from the eyes of the world, became obsessed with old legends and stories spanning our realm. As a consequence, artifacts,ancient writings and archeological findings became the Dominion’s primary obsession. Their leader believed that the true Primal Powers of the realm lay within these legends, awaiting a master to unleash their might and secure absolute dominance.

His plan: to use the Dominion’s technological machinations to summon to our reality the world’s most powerful gods and legendary warriors; to ensnare them and siphon them of their core powers and abilities, stripping them down to mere echoes of their former glory. To achieve this sinister plan, the Dominion scoured the planet in search of relics that were bound to these Champions, and experimented on them in evil and twisted ways.

Suddenly, one by one, the legends materialized. Gods from every pantheon, warriors from every myth. All of them, Champions of history. Not even the Dominion’s most trusted scientists could believe their eyes. Weakened by their arrival, the Champions were defenseless, imprisoned by the Dominion's clutches, their essence siphoned to fortify the Dominion's power. All hope seemed lost.

Yet, the stories that define us are not so easily erased, and legends will never be held down. Against all odds, they fight and survive, and become worthy of the title of Champions.

Their escape was only a matter of time…

Stay tuned for future updates as we continue to dive into the story of the world of Champion Shift!

Greetings, noble warriors! In this upcoming spotlight, we unveil the majesty of Athena, the indomitable Goddess of Warfare and Wisdom. A master tactician and brilliant strategist, Athena stands as a beacon of resourcefulness and deliberate action. Her heart burns with anger at the Dominion's audacity to steal the powers of the heavens, yet she revels in the challenge of outsmarting them and remaining a step ahead. Let's explore her extraordinary abilities:



Aegis of the Owl: Athena's shield, crafted by the skilled hands of Hephaestus, possesses unparalleled potency. Enhanced by Athena's divine power, this shield seeks out multiple targets when thrown, returning to her side. It not only acts as her defender but also carries her will to smite the forces of evil.



Sonic Disc: With this ability, Athena infuses her Aegis with her own divine power. Upon hitting her targets, the shield erupts in a blast of energy, unleashing devastating damage. As the shield returns, it swings around Athena, striking down any enemies foolish enough to approach her.



Shielded Charge: Upon shifting out of her vehicle form, Athena launches herself forward with her shield magnified, becoming a force to be reckoned with. As she charges through the enemy ranks, her shield plows through her foes, dealing damage and knocking them back with tremendous force. Athena's determination crashes upon the Dominion like an unyielding wave.



Doppel-Discus: Athena's mastery over her shield reaches its pinnacle. She gains the power to manifest copies of her shield, allowing her to attack a multitude of enemies around her. Each throw is a dance of precision, chaining hits with graceful finesse.



Phalanx Toss: While in her vehicle form, Athena launches two large shields that elegantly circle around her. These shields not only deal substantial damage but also knock back enemies and obliterate projectiles. Athena's command over her shield extends to her vehicle form, turning it into a deadly weapon of divine retribution.


Prepare to be awestruck by Athena as she joins the battle against the Dominion, her calculated tactics and brilliant strategy will lead the charge. Customize your playstyle, embrace her powers, and champion the cause of justice against overwhelming odds. Stay tuned for Athena's grand entrance in Champion Shift, and for more celestial champion spotlights as we unveil the diverse array of powers you can wield in this epic battle!
