Athena's Skill Order Notes Leveling up Confound instead of Shield Wall first gives you a longer Taunt, which can be more helpful to secure damage on enemies by your allies (or to negate damage from your enemies), which will be greater than the added damage of your Shield Wall had that ability been leveled up instead.

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

Depending on the situation

Notes Pestilence is a must when the opponents have access to many heals.
Spectral armor is great if the opponent is building Crit. Talisman of energy is an all-round great item for additional magical protection, especially if your allies benefit from movement and attack speed.
Stone of gaia is a nice item for overall sustain and health.
Nemean lion is great if the enemy has physical Auto attack build as is hitting hard.
