Hi! Now, before you all pull out your pitchforks, and try and kill me for not having penetration items, or running hastened (which people hate for some reason), or for putting the her ult as the least important part of this build, I'm going to try and explain it all I promise.
I like to call this a chasing build, where you kill them no matter what they try to do, short of hard ccing you or running into their fountain like a baby.
Tower diving? No problem, can kill them and get out before the tower hits you a second time. Running into their allies? Just stay on target your 2 is the most important thing here, and all 3 attacks need to hit the same target.
Now before I go into the main strategy of this build, let me go over the items.
[*] ninja tabi
Okay, now let me explain why I build her ult last.
I use it to get away. My it my build it does low damage, and is really just a good cc preventer, and get away. The other 3 abilities are just much more useful for my build.
The two stim abilities (1 and 2), are both the main meat of this build. Both heavily increasing autour attack damage, 1 adding a DoT to an enemy, and 2 increasing your attack speed (with my item build, while 2 is in effect you have max attack speed) I generally pop them both at the same time, hit a god 3 times (stunning them) and it's pretty much just gg from there. Reposition yourself to be facing the way towards their fountain and tick down their health. Ez pz.
Her third ability is a slow, sicks 2 little spiders on her enemy and gives her a speed boost if she follows the Web trail. This is an amazing ability for chasing, and it's hilarious to see people try to destroy the Web trap with their attacks. (Pro tip: you can't)
The main strategy here with her is to shoot her Web at the enemy catch up to them, pop her stims, Web them up, and take them down. Quick, efficient, and nearly always works. Just try to pick enemy gods out, rather than just jumping into a large group of them. Don't worry if this strategy seems weak early game, don't worry that's just the way it is, but mid to late game it works 9 out of 10 times. Just get hastened and qin's, and get ready for the kills to roll in.
Pros.
Well that's most of what I can think of, just get in, kill get out. Don't let your enemy get away, and feel good about the fact that you did well in a f2p game. Just wanted to throw this build out there so I might finally have a fair fight or 2 against an enemy arachne.
Thanks for taking your time to read this, have a great day :)

Arachne herself has a movementspeed buff on the trail of her web, so she doesn't need Hastenend fatalis.
Neither does she need so many attackspeed items, since she has a attackspeed steroid in her kit. So as you said, this is her just jumping in and getting out quickly. With this big amount of attackspeed vs her damage total doesn't really burst trough oponents. Since your ability will hit barely nothing, and he passive work on power. Attackspeed is mostly used for substained damage instead of heavy burst damage.
Also you won't be needing any lifesteal items since she already has some heals in her kit which should do enough if you have enough power, eventough you don't have that mcuh in this build.
If you thinka Arachne's base healing ability doesn't help you that much, i would advise building cooldown so her heal would be up more.
Basicly my own opinion is.
Ninja tabi [/] Kinda niece, but i can see it work out in the early game. Hastenend fatalis [x] Doesn't fit arachne's kit nor is it helpfull as a second item since with ninja tabi you barely have any power. Qin's Sais [/] Is a great pick on arachne, but you picked it kinda close i would pick it 4th item instead of 3rd at the earliest. It costs allot and in exchange you can get a much more cheaper and better item. Odsysseus's bow [x] This item doesn't fit arachne, nor is it usefull on her. I would only slightly think of it when your in duel and your really losing your lane. But still rather would not get it on her. Devourers gauntles [x/] The power is fine, but as i explained before. Arachne got lifesteal build into her kit, if you bought a power cooldown item instead you would heal as much but would do much more damage and way more often. Hydras lement[/] This item is fine on arachne, as long as you build bursty, with either heavy pen and dmg. or with crit worked into her build.
Skill section: It works better on arachne to focus on her 1 then her ult then her 2 then her 3. Since you will only need web in conquests, and you only use your web to catch up to peoeple and not for the webs damage. You can rather get the attackspeed steroid on your 2 so you wont be needing attackspeed items that much.
Im sorry for this long wall of text and grammar mistakes, its 2 am and i'm sleepy. But i just had to help a fellow arachne lover. I hope you won't see this as attacking or bashing on your build. I'm just trying to give critisme and trying to understand each other better with our builds! :D
Also 1 smoll thing on the guide itself.
If you add colour coding it will become less wall of text and more visible and pleasing to see.
Also use spoiler tabs to keep it easy and clean ^^. If you got anymore questions or anything. just hit me up!:d
