4>3>1>2 or 4>3>2>1

Focus your ult almost always. If you are finding you dont have good uses for your ult, you could think about not focusing it over your core abilities, but it does a lot of damage and provides a huge shield, so it is typically the best way to go.

You have two options for leveling abilities in the mid game. If you want to do more damage off your combo and/or are frequently hitting your dash while getting into a fight, instead of just using it to get in range for your taunt, then max the 1 second. It will also help you survive the fight if youre dashing in since it provides prots. If you are typically engaging with someone else, leveling the 2 is better because it increases the duration of the taunt which is the most powerful part of athenas kit.

In the early game, athena is slower to get stuff done. Her cooldowns are a lot longer than most junglers and as such you have to be very careful and coordinated in your buttons and damage. She is a bit item dependant. About the time you get chronos pendant online you can more reliably fight, and by the time you have poly online, with book stacked, youll be a nightmare for squishies.

Keep an eye on what abilities get used around you. You dont want to gank a target with all their buttons up because they may turn on you, and likewise in the early you will need some supporting damage from an ally. Make sure this is possible or you might wind up on the wrong side of a gank yourself.

In the mid game harassing with a 2>3 combo with autos in between will do ~40% of a squishies HP which is just insane poke, especially with the range on your 1 allowing you to engage that poke from really far out.

late game, your damage is a lot but it takes longer to combo than most junglers so pick your fights carefully if youre going to go for a pick, otherwise play with your team and continue to harass and poke and looks for targets out of position to taunt and blow up with your team.

Athena is crazy strong suddenly, and people are still figuring this out, so you will likely be able to take people off guard with your damage. Get out there, taunt your foes back in and spear them through the heart.
