►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!

► 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.

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.

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")
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)
