As we know these two items Athena Shield or Radiant Armor are used as defense items in mobile legends. They are used under specific situations during the match. These items are used by the players when the opponents have high magic burst damage.
Athena’s Shield offers protection from magic attacks and is durable. It can offer significant magic resistance and also act as shields that absorb damage when your health falls below certain thresholds. This can be life-saving during team fights with burst attacks.
Radiant Armor offers more protection against physical attacks, by slowing down their attack speed. It also provides ample armor. This makes it an ideal option for enemies who use basic attacks or are physical damage dealers.
Radiant Armor is a better choice for physical heroes and those who are focused on attack speed.
Consider your hero’s role, play flow, and any potential threats when selecting an item.

The heroes who can one-shot you easily, just that time only you need to buy this item.

Why use Radiant Armor?
The Radiant Armor should be used when the enemy has heroes who rely on magic damage per second. That is going to be the perfect time to buy the radiant armor. These kinds of heroes are super annoying and deal much too much damage during the late game.
Heros such as:
Alice
Chang’e
Cyclops
Edith
Esmeralda
Gord
Guinevere
Harley
Harith
Joy
Julian
Kimmy
Natan
Odette
Silvanna
Valir
Zhask
These heroes don’t one-shot like the heroes we mentioned above but the magic damage they do per second is insane. That is why buying Radiant armor is going to be a wise choice.
If you are a tank or a fighter, it would be much better if you buy these two if the opponent’s mage is good. Else if you are a marksman, mage, or the core of the team, you can buy Athena Shield or Radiant Armor depending on the situation.
