How to be an OP Arachne and even Mid

Arachne is a god that is an assasin, she focuses on either wearing the enemy down constantly, but mainly you should focus on one attack that decimates their health, if you don't capitalise on people's squishyness and over-extension early game, you can't be the best you can be with this god, If you aren't very good at Arachne, she can be VERY squishy (kind of like a real spider), the main stats you want to focus on with a build on Arachne is attack speed, movement speed and physical power (in that order), I do realise that some people would rather more AP than movement speed, but you find that if they can't escape you, it doesn't matter if you don't hit as hard. This guide will cover the basics of Arachne and how to play her in every game, this guide will also mainly focus on the middle laning of Arachne because that is all I really do when I play her know.

FIRST, in order to make this first strategy work, YOU MUST, I repeat MUST get broodlings as your first ability, with this as your first ability, before the game starts, run all the way up to damage buff, and lay your eggs, continually lay your eggs until you have 3 or 4 nests in front of the area the mobs will spawn, if you want more mana, lay 3, if you want more health, lay 4, I tend to go with 4 as Arachne is not a "Mana Heavy" god. After you have killed the mobs, head directly into middle lane, if the enemy is playing passive as most people realise that someone who is midding with a melee god has to be a legit player, play more passive and try to catch him with his pants down, if they go aggressive on you, even once, just charge them through minions and kill them, with damage buff health of middle laning gods cuts like butter, do not be afraid to do a little tower diving to leave them with enough health for poison to finish them off, if you are finding it a little harder to get kills from mid, secretly slip away into the jungle and gank the lane that is doing the worst, this benefits the team and you as you get just that little bit more fed, come from behind them and put down your webs, your team will get the idea and push up on them.

This part of the game focuses mainly on exploiting "nuked" characters and constantly harrasing mid. If you have made it this far while killing frequently, use this Chapter, if you haven't, use the next, in this stage of the game, gank the other lanes frequently to make sure they know who is boss, if you have enough movement speed, you can duck and weave in and out of the jungle and minions and get people scared, once the enemy is scared of you as whenever you are around, they often die, this makes it easier to "bypass" your squishyness as they are too busy running away to even think of turning on you, once small team fights start breaking out, come around the back and pick up the low people who hang around to make sure everything goes fine, if you have got enough lifesteal at this point, solo both fire giant and gold fury to benefit everyone, push lanes and get those few extra kills to make you just that little bit more fed.

If you are not as fed during this stage of the game, focus on buffing on all the buffs and farming to get ahead of the other gods that will be roaming, watch out for ganks and stay well away from team fights, as you get on even terms with the rest of the team, get some more extra kills from unsuspecting enemies and low people, if you play your cards right, you may end up getting fed during this stage.

By the end of the game, Arachne becomes the force to be reckoned with, contrary to popular belief, if you build Arachne right she does not deminish during late game, focus mainly on picking off the enemy team one by one and bypassing your squishyness with excessive lifesteal, two lifesteal items and high attack speeed are efficient for this, with this amount of lifesteal one can simply ignore when particular god ult, for example, kali, hades, ymir and bastet's ult can be completely ignored if you continually harras them and if you get too low, use your drain life to get that extra health, during this stage of the game, simply focus on buffing, killing FG and GF, backdoor laning and killing over-confident gods.

Arachne is an overpowered god if you can play her right, if you get good enough with her you can middle lane, if you end up being the team carry, people will not only be afraid of you, but you also make heaps of friends and get LOADS of respect, at this point you can solo towers, pheonixes and the minotaur without enemy interfeerence.
