Introduction

Skadi will break the enemy team. She is a great early game pusher and a late game destroyer. This build is maily focused on getting as many shots off as you can while doing pretty solid crit damage.
Enjoy!

Team Work

Teamwork is essential to skadis success. If you try and push without teamates, you will die. And your teamates will be angry and you will get a lot of "You rock"'s. But they're lying. You dont rock.Essentially you're going to want to keep the minion situation in check for the first 7 to 10 minutes (depending on if you get kills and rank faster). This is crucial to your teams success. Especially if there's no other decent minion clear.
Shes easily melted by higher level gods and cant really hold her own in a 1v3. Even a 2v3 can get tricky if you dont have a good butt buddy to roll with. With proper communication and timing however, the kills will come. Oh believe me, they'll come. *Evil laugh*

Pros / Cons

Pros:
-Damage lord mid to late game
-early game pusher and crowd contoller
-decent enough Penetration
-nice movement speed
-solid crits if you land them
Cons:
-Jesus f*** are you squishy.
-I mean its gross how squishy you are.
-You will not make it out if you push without teamates.
-do not engage tanks with skadi early game, you will get stunned and the team will find you, and thats a RIP for skadi the goddi.

Summary

As long as you're playing smart you'll like skadi. Shes a fun god to play, and an annoying god for the other team. Hang back behind the big boys on your team. Clearing minions and helping in team battles early game. Late game you can push and melt. But for the love of the gods (lol) be. Careful.
Thanks!
