I miss the dash and the aspis shield. Anything come close?
Maybe some kind of reflective Stop Gap shield and Blitz, but Blitz doesn’t quite work the same as Athena’s Blood Rush

The aspis can’t really be emulated. The best shield for melee atm is the brawlerward, use anything else and you’ll probably lack the damage. Your best chance is to 1 shot enemies in melee using a buttplug or 120% melee dmg cov weapon with 50% terror cryo anointment and a commander planetoid with lifesteal. That should give you 2-3 multiplicative bonuses to keep blitz up and some sustain. You can add a +5 nimbus mod for even more elemental damage or just use the breaker. The buttplug does the most melee dmg even if it says 110% melee dmg on the card.

I’m ok with meleeing, shooting, then meleeing
In that case theoretically we could wait for Blitz cooldown, but damage has to be competitive
Maybe a combination of slide speed artifact and her speed boost to simulate the initial charge, then Blitz for the kill, as an execute type move
If you melee, shoot and melee again on a single target you will lose Blitz. Blitz cooldown resets if you kill the enemy with melee so the best way to keep it up is to boost melee dmg. The slide artifact would replace commander planetoid so it would be a big loss in dps. The Moar Linoge does really good dmg while shooting + melee so that’s probably the best option if you want to do both (shoot at tough enemies until you can kill with blitz)
I just use the El dragon relic, ties that bind, and find your center. it’s basically what you’re looking for most enemies you can punch and just walk away while they burn to death. And you always have increased melee range because ties that bind has a cool down that’s shorter than find your center’s duration. I recently switched from brawler ward, because my shield never depleted, to frozen heart anointed with while an enemy is phasegrasped amara unleashes constant novas. The frozen heart basically aoe freezes everything so I can get triple melee damage. I only really shoot anointed and badasses and my linoge tears them up. I can post the whole build later if you want I just need to get home and screen shot my equipment.

Sorry for the potato quality I can’t figure out how to export bigger images.
Basically I gave myself the option of switching to all 3 elements so I can avoid bad mayham modifiers but I mostly run shock because it gets an extra boost from tempest and many enemies have shields. I also left room so I can swap the dragon relic for a white elephant and ties that bind for phaseslam to easily burn bosses. Most of the gear is pretty flexible you just need the dragon relic, a melee gun like buttplug or linoge, and the anointed frozen heart. Also something to take care of armor since the burn from the relic destroys health bars and your action skill element takes care of shields as long as mayham doesn’t reduce shock by 50%. I like my corrosive linoge for armor because I can stay shock, punch badass shields, and burn the armor with linoge, then move to the next guy, but any good corrosive weapon will do.
I do pretty good in mayham 3. If I get downed I usually get back up nearly instantly because people are dying from dots all the time plus I have guardian angel. Most anointed can’t get burned or frozen so I either switch to face puncher or the trevonator, which I have in fire/ice and corrosive/radiation, depending on the mayham modifiers.
