Athena may also gain these stacks by hitting an enemy god with Reach, once per attack.

Several things meh. First: polynomicron doesn't suit her ability spam, long CD playstyle. You use Shield wall into instant confound for the double hit, with no chance to basic attack in between. Gem of Isolation makes them slow, meaning confound actually will end with them NOT back in the shield wall. Common problem. Her ult is useless, making her never wanted in joust, and the lack of pure tank items (only hybrid items) leaves her ridiculously squishy. She might* beat an assassin, but any adc or bruiser will have lifesteal to beat her, and mages will rot her.

The build looks good, but why would you level up her ult in joust? It literally serves no purpose without a team. Also, why Magi's Blessing over Bulwark of Hope?

SmiteFire & Smite

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.
