Hello!

Hi, and welcome to my first ever build on this site. Before I decided to make my account and make builds of my own, I used a lot of other builds on this site. I've been a lot of Arachne, due to the fact that she's extremely strong right now. So, let's get started!

Pros / Cons

Pros

    STRONG Jungle game
    Sticks moderately well with people
    MELTS not only gods but towers, even support gods

Cons
    VERY squishy
    VERY, VERY squishy
    Did I mention squishy?
    YOU HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE

Items

For an in-depth explanation about my items and what you should be building throughout the game, you came to the right place. A lot of people will look at me strangely due to the fact I chose Death's Toll besides Bumba's Mask. I chose this mainly because having Death's Toll can give you early and deadly kills more easily than Bumba's. Granted, you won't have the bigger heal, but in my opinion, Arachne clears very well anyway due to her spiders and Venomous Bite, which heals her anyway.

Moving on, you want to start with Death's Toll, Tier 1 Boots, Tier 1 HOG, and two health pots. The reason I chose two health pots is because when you have Death's Toll and can really start killing early game, is because it's good to have extra health. And, you have to be extremely aggressive.

As you go on, in about six minutes of the game, you should be able to fully buy boots, and you can start having mana pots. I usually buy them around this time. In eight to nine minutes, you can start the Hastened Fatalis. This is a REALLY important item because now you don't have to stick to enemies with just her Web ability. This really helps with her stick, and makes you move twice as fast as you usually move when the enemy leaves the web trail.

With around mid game, which would probably start around twelve to thirteen minutes, you can finally start the juicy items. Deathbringer really works out with her Venomous Bite, and this is when she'll start to crush the supports.

Around seventeen minutes, it's time to build Executioner and Rage, whilst selling your Death's Toll. By then, you should probably either have Tier 2 HOG, or even Fist of the Gods, to help with stunning and sticking to enemies. With The Executioner and Rage, you will literally start CHUNKING health once you activate your Venomous Bite, with your Cocoon. You will start eating towers, because let's face it, you enjoy processed concrete from time to time, but you get it.

Twenty-three minutes in, you might have finished your Rage by then. Once you have Rage done, start building Titan's Bane, then you can choose another active of your choice, and finish Titan's Bane. People will fear you, because you can now get those double to triple kills with just using Venomous Bite and your spiders will be the bane if their existence.

Skills

Starting off with Web is crucial simply because you have two little tanks. Right after, get Venomous Bite because the damage and heal from it works out very well. As you move on, you want to max out Venomous Bite because of the poison, it does insane DoT(Damage over time), and will be the main thing that will kill your enemies.

Team Work

With this build, Arachne is insanely squishy, so she can't really jump into the brute of the fight, unless majority of them are low and the kill opportunity is high. You have to be really smart and pick your battles wisely. If you're going to gank someone and you think you won't win the fight, do NOT gank. For this build, she is high-damage, very squishy, and you need to be almost 95% sure you can kill them. But, she's very quick when it comes to jungling camps and creeps, and with this build, she's decent at split-pushing, but may need back-up when trouble comes her way. When a team fight happens, you mostly need to come in from the back and attack there first with Night Crawler, Web, Cocoon, and Venomous Bite. You should be able to get some great kills.

Arachne can box pretty well with this build. She does single-target damage, yes, but can do pretty amazing by herself. I, myself, have been able to box at least two to three people and kill them all by using a mixture of Web and Venomous Bite during mid to late game.

Summary


All around, Arachne is amazing early, middle, and late game with this build. I've had many victories with this, and she works out really well. Arachne is starting to become one of the higher tiers in my opinion, and can really destroy her enemies as long as you play smart and play dirty.

End

I really hope all of you enjoyed this build and you've had as much success as I've had with this! If you have any suggestions or any advice, please do not hesitate to comment below! I accept all constructive criticism! Thank you very much and happy Smiting!

That's precisely it. Arachne is squishy in general, which is why a lot of Arachne players build her with at least one or even two protective items. I hope this build goes well for you!

i like the change up from the typical bumba's mask for a jungler and this build seems like a very potent build to any god just cause you can stun for a long time. i would like to try this build but i dont have faith in my jungling skills to pull this off but i have done archnae jungle before and she is very squishy but can get the kill if team backs her up or enemy makes a mistake
