Introduction

►INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my Skadi guide, which will be updated frequently. I appreciate any feedback on how I've screwed this build up but this is a build that works for how I play. There is a difference between being utterly wrong about how items and builds work and someone one's play style being different. This may not work for everyone but if you plan on commenting on how this guide has been made please have something to back up your argument besides "I don't like it."
Skadi is a physical Norse hunter with a pet wolf named Kaldr. Ice doggo. Enjoy!

REMINDER: This guide is still a WIP and will most likely change a bit until it's finalized, keep that in mind. Thank you for reading!

Skills

PASSIVE: Kaldr, The Winter Wolf
Kaldr is Skadi's winter wolf, who can be controlled with Rune Of The Hunt (Ability 2) Kaldr has 5 hit points, 1 point off for every AA or ability from an enemy god and 1 point off for every 5 minion hits. Kaldr attacks whoever is targeted, Kaldr has 110% of Skadi's movement speed and 50% of her attack speed. When not being used Kaldr heals back his 5 points over a period of time.

ABILITY 1: Piercing Cold
Skadi throws an icy spear, dealing damage (90/140/190/240/290) and slowing enemies. (20/25/30/35/40%) Kaldr's basic attacks do double damage to enemies hit by this.

COST: 70/75/80/85/90 | Cooldown: 15s

ABILITY 2: Rune Of The Hunt
Skadi marks a target for Kaldr to attack minions, jungle camps, towers, phoenixes, and titans and enemies. (50/70/70/90/90% of Skadi's basic attack) If the enemy Kaldr is attacking dies they move to another. Once hit 5 times he will return to Skadi to heal.

Rank 1: Able to attack enemies with a dash attack.
Rank 3: Kaldr's kills heal him.
Rank 5: Kaldr's basic attacks increase Skadi's movement speed by 10%

INITIAL DAMAGE: 70/100/130/160/190 +60% of your phys power
DAMAGE PER TICK: 5/10/15/20/25 +5% of your phys power

Items

► CORE ITEMS:

: NINJA TABI

Picking up this item will give you good early game physical power. This build will mostly scale off physical power being a crit-based build and Kaldr does as well.

: RAGE

This item will provide +30 physical power with a 20% chance to crit. Every time you don't crit your chance increases by 10% and will stack 6 times max and reset when you crit. I would pick this up first and than deathbringer because of the higher chance to crit and it's a lot cheaper.

: DEATHBRINGER

This item scales off physical power. It provides +50 physical power and a 20% Crit chance. It also increases Critical strike damage by 40%

Deathbringer + Rage now brings us to 40% Crit chance (strictly those two items)

► PENETRATION:

: THE EXECUTIONER

This item provides 30 physical power and +25% attack speed. Basic attacks reduce the enemies physical protection by 12% for 3s stacking 3 times. This item would work best with a mostly physical team. This item was changed in S3.


: TITAN's BANE

This item will give you 30 physical power and your phys attacks will gain 33% pen. The preferred pen item since the nerf on exe, though exe still works in certain situations.

► LIFESTEAL:

: ASI
ASI provides 15% physical lifesteal, 20% attack speed, and 15% physical pen. It's passive also grants an extra 25% lifesteal for 5s when you drop below 35% health. This can only occur once every 15 seconds.

For this particular build, I would replace Rage with Wind Demon, cause I like the movement speed, plus in S4 they added attack speed to Wind Demon. But in all honesty my Skadi build is usually Warrior Tabi, Transcendence, Titans Bane, Jotunn's Wrath, Executioner, Frostbound Hammer or Shifter's Shield if I am having trouble with health.

Hi :) how do you find that crits work on Skadi? I've never tried them because Kaldr can't crit, so I usually go for pure power, pen, attack speed

@Zakg13: I think it's unlikely you'll get a response...the guide maker was last logged into the site on September 8th.

That said, I think your standard focus is by far the most common. That's a key...Kaldr can't crit, and Skadi doesn't have an attack speed steroid.

So, can this build work? Sure. Just like a crit build can "work" on any other hunter. And as this is an Arena guide, there are no objectives for her to take down, and so penetration might not be quite as necessary for her crazy objective potential.

But if you're looking to optimize her effectiveness, it's usually going to be what you do, with a build using Qin's Sais as its centerpiece. She's just not an optimal hunter choice in Arena, since she lacks an escape.

i have skadi X mastery and i say this guid is good. Plus, its true that Kaldr can not do crits but skadi still can , so dont just count on Kaldr to get the kill , use him to make alot of damage,annoy players and distract them ,and with the crits you have , u will get the kill so easily

she's not a bad pick at all, I mean if I did 40k player dmg with her in arena she can't be that bad (I had 2 crit items in my build too, because "f*ck the red team")

Strange but i think it might just work! I posted a guide on artemis labelled "goddess of the hunt" and one of the 4 builds it offers is called rage rush and has a similar feel to it. Nice build and I will be keeping an eye on any further progress!

Interesting guide so far, can't wait to see the rest of it.
Also, starting with the crit items is an approach I never tried before, maybe I should try it next time. (I usually go for an attack speed item first)
