Hello everyone! My name is Ragingstorm, and I've been playing Smite for the six past months or so. Before we start this guide, I'd like to say this guide does not have to be always followed, there will be times when the player wishes to change the order in which they get everything. This guide is simply to aid the player on how to play the goddess of wrath and time, Kali! With bloodshed in her heart, this goddess brings damage to the battle like no other. Many gods fear a strike of a single ability, and the goddess power to become immune to Crowd Controls like no other.

Pros
+ High substain + Enourmous Single Target Damage + Good Escape Potential + Best Crowd Control immunity with  Frenzy |
Cons
- Requires Good Timing - No leaping mechanism - Using Kali Rage at the wrong times |
Kali being a god that can easily take out a third of the opponents health roughly every ten seconds. No gods can match her insta-cast Blood Lash. She also has an amazing chaser as well as escape with Kali Rage allowing her speed and true damage to activate. Such power with the added heal of Siphon Blood and Crowd Control immunity with Frenzy makes her one of the most feared yet underplayed gods of smite. The goddess has the highest sustain out of every physical carry.
Soul Eater this passive gives her 35% lifesteal at below 25% health. It can make Kali a great comeback against other AD opponents when she's losing a fight. A few hits against an enemy, and then Siphon Blood on at least two or three enemies pops Kali back to full health allowing aggresive substainment.
Kali Rage
Butcher Blades and it allows more damage to hit. There is two options, either a Kali uses this just as an escape mechanism and max it last, or they use it as a true damage ability and max it first. For me, when to max this ability fully depends on the situation.
Blood Lash
Siphon Blood Soul Eater and Enrage then using Siphon Blood on the archery minions easily fills Kali back to full health. This potential Kali has gives her much better substain compared to many other ADs in her playing field. With the added new bleed effect Kali can heal even more damage with the addition of absorbing the enemy's bleed effect. This makes Kali more substainable than any other physical carries.
Frenzy. Chasing an enemy is simple, an easy kill can occur at level five against the enemies' carry, gank from the forest activating Kali Rage then Blood Lash, afterwards about half health that they have, activate Frenzy to easily get the kill. Only a few gods can avoid this deadly easy kill tactic of Kali.
|
|
Unless the player is risky, and know they can't die with Kali, I recommend to get this, and get it to tier three as soon as possible. There is an exception with Devourer's Gloves that possibly might be needed to be maxed after the player gets tier 1 or 2 of this item. |
|
|
The Heartseeker is a double edge sword in Smite's world of all ADs. Getting this item first could lead to two possibilities, either get rewarded by reaching tier three, and farming stacks without dying and recieving a huge benefit. Or you get killed after this item reaches tier 3, then you will lose all stacks and potentially ruin the entire game of Kali. Choose this if you definitely know you're going to be fed.

|
This tool is a must-want for all AD physical units. With this item, Kali can kill gods easier with her autoattacks as well as adding additional pentetration. |
| Devourer's Gloves | Only consider this when feeling for a safer play which should occur about 80% of the time, another thing is knowing when to use Blood Lash for minions and when to use it on opponents, in the long run, this item will be doing you a favor by permantly stacking depending on the minions you have cleared easily with the use of Blood Lash. Remember to strike with Blood Lash on the side allowing all minions to be hit. |
|
|
Physical Penetration, get this when you feel like your opponents can't feel enough damage. |
|
|
Soul eater is one of the best items a Kali could utilize. Usually, I don't use this on other carrys. But with the addition of Kali's Enrage she can life leach roughly 35%. A small burst of her Blood Lash at the opponent, along with using Siphon Blood on a couple of minions and she's already healed fully once again. This heal and damage makes her much more deadly than most gods.
|
|
|
Late game, building critical allows for even more damage output, these hits allow the enemy to die in just a few autoattacks. |
|
|
By this time, with the deathbringer you will always be constantly dealing critical damage, the substained true damage of Kali Rage allow for most of the damage to hit the enemy. This extra damage provided gives her much more damage than most gods. By now, the player can avoid using Frenzy and chase after the enemy damaging him even while moving with Blood Lash and Kali Rage. For a backup plan when Kali is on low health she can lifeleech, or finish the opponent off while moving after an enemy with Frenzy.
|
|
|
The fact that Kali has no natural way to slow an opponent makes her a bit dull, feel free to take this just in case Kali Rage doesn't do its job. The slow on this is critcal in securing kills with autoattacks. |
|
|
This sounds silly, but if you still feel Kali doesn't do enough damage in time, then hit this item up. In the old days of Smite, many people use  Qin's Blade because at the time, Rage still wasn't created yet. This item gives Kali even more attack speed allowing her to hit harder, and works well in situations against another Physical Carry opponent. With Lifeleech a player can easily regenerate there health whenever they fall below 25% of their health by hitting the enemy faster than the speed that they can hurt you.

Kali a viable player. Penetrating the opponent with her sweet damage, as well as Lifeleeching whenever Kali runs low on health. Whenever she falls below 25% health, do not run away if the opponent is low on health as well. Remember to land your hits healing yourself, as well as using Siphon Blood on minions. Kali is like having two health bars at the same time.
Ring of Spears or near instant Ultimates such as 
Searing Pain or Loki's jukes. I suggest using this at a distance as enemies may just stay around and wait for your aegis to expire so do not activate this at low health, instead use Kali Rage and Sprint to run.
Frenzy is on cooldown, and sadly an Anubis or Ares have you in their Ultimate or Mummify.
This is the masterpeice section for my guide. It is composed of all the gods that Kali will ever face. Just remember these simple tips, and hopefully you'll understand all the gods you'll have to face.
Path of Flame
Frenzy or activate 
Purification Beads then finish him off with Kali Rage then Blood Lash. Just be careful with whoever their laning partner happens to be.
Noxious Fumes, play fastball with this god. If he uses his Path of Flame then be careful, only chase after him with Kali Rage if your Blood Lash can quickly finish him off.
Impale can easily wreck Kali.
Shifting Sands, just avoid trying to get stuck on the obelisk, if he does happen to hit you on the obelisk, you'll be
Frenzy to easily finish this god. It is best to be the one ganking Anubis as he will be caught off guard to the player's fast damage and notice his health depleting so quickly. Once the combo is applied, a few autohits will be applied until the enemy realizes he is getting ganked, as soon as he turns, break into Frenzy attempting to kill him at all costs. Purification Beads. Using Kali Rage or Sprint, the player is allowed to escape with low health. During this time, use Siphon Blood and because Kali's health will be in the 25% range, her passive activates granting her a quick recovery to turn the tables around. Remember, try to sap at least three enemies so it heals Kali right back up.
Loving Embrace
Kiss ability successfully then Kali's pretty much done for if her partner can combo off of that easily. However, if her partner manages to lower your health but not kill you successfully, use Siphon Blood and leech health from the minions.
This player shows the wrath of Kali at her best. Remember during teamfights, you're the one being the janitor, coming in at the blink of an eye, usually entering last. Causing mayhem dealing huge critical damage often with the help of Rage and Deathbringer. Also, this player used a much more risky build with Heartseeker, feel free to use Devourers Gloves if you fear you might die.

ok so mainly just a preference thing then, gonna go try this now, i normalyl do well with kali but i dont usually build heartseeker cause im not wild about losing charges but i suppose if your not dying its worth it xD
also, how is kali rage true dmg? true dmg means ignores protection. all i see kali rage doing is adding physical power.
