Can replace pots and Build boots after Imperial Helmet
Can replace Traveler's Shoes with Shoes of Focus or Shoes of the Magi
Build Book of Thoth early(ASAP) so you can finish early
Polynomicon helps you deal mega damage with your passive
Shaman's Ring is helpful with dealing damage
Use Rangda's Mask at your own peril!
In case of scary enemies
Purification Beads or bracer of undoing if you want to play safe, otherwise Blink Rune and Horrific Emblem allow you to play more aggressively
Can replace Imperial Helmet with Druid Stone, however the damage from finished Celestial crown + mp5 help a lot
Wards are optional (but best if you wanna be a safe boy ;))
Go for a cloak for high protections (can go for phys or magic protection in different cases such as more phys/magi gods)
Would recommend Mantle of Discord
Combo poly with athena's passive
Would recommend Shaman's Ring and Polynomicon
Gem of Isolation is almost purely for utility as there are better alternatives for damage and tankiness, and may be unnecessary considering your Preemptive Strike will slow for 25%
Tap each threat level to view Athena’s threats
Has very strong early game
Ghastly Breath can be devastating
Play safe until mid-late game

You should always make sure the 2nd burst of your shield wall hits! Also try to hit as many of your Reach basics as you can in between!
Also, feel free to mix it up! You wont always have all your abilities up, so using Confound without Shield Wall can be beneficial, especially if you're with a teammate
Keep in mind that this is not the way Athena was designed to be played! If you want a normal/conventional way to play her i would recommend you play her in the support role! Playing gods well in roles they shouldn't be played in require quite a lot of experience!
Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.
