Fighting Strategies

You'll want to start with your Crush and Sic 'Em to try to ensure that your target gets damaged by both Sic 'Em and Crush. If an enemy tries to escape Crush just activate it again right before they leave the area. If an enemy is en route to base, pop your ult, I'm a Monster and try to catch them. Be careful when using your ult as enemies will try to dodge and avoid it if they know your about. If you're looking for a way out of a fight, quickly use your Sentinel and activate it again and you'll be (most of the time) safe from danger, for now. Try putting your Sentinel on the other side of a wall to make an easier escape for yourself.

Awareness

It's very important for you to be aware when playing Scylla as she is squishy and weak in health terms. Scylla takes a lot of damage with this build but deals a ton back. Her max. health with this build is around 1700. If you're alone against more than 1 person it may be difficult to deal any damage and you could possibly die, even when there's one person. It's crucial for you to stay with your team, as you are a support, you deal tons of damage but are very weak. Since this build offers low cooldowns, don't be afraid to use your ult to escape a dangerous situation as it may lead to you safe in your base.

Helping Your Team

If a teammate is looking to escape from an enemy, try to use Sic 'Em to stun the opponet, Crush will work too, as it will slow them down. Placing your Sentinel can be a great help for your team because it acts as a 5s ward with a 15s cooldown. This allows your team to find nearby enemies and to be aware of their whereabouts. This could also help a teammate escape by giving them sight on the mini map to see enemies trying to stop them so they can take a different escape route.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
Scylla now has max. cooldowns. With max cooldowns, she is quickly able to keep a very high burst on her ult as well as Crush. Another benefit of this build is that you will be able to have your enemy on a constant stun as Sic 'Em will be on a short cooldown as well. This build also includes decent physical power for her ult and Crush.

Cons:
Scylla has low basic attack dmg. and also low mp5 and magical protections. No lifesteal included with this build.

Notes

This is my first build so helpful criticism will be greatly appreciated. Please tell me what I can do better to improve my future builds and how I can make this one better as well. Thanks.

You get Rod of Tahuti way too early with a god that is mostly late game. And I would say to only get Breastplate of Valor if you are getting focused A LOT (And honestly you should be focused every time); you can replace Breastplate of Valor with a stacking item if you want for more power. CDR is not as needed with her cause her abilities do SO MUCH late game.

I gotta say that this build does work in arena or assault (but in assault i recommend getting Chronos' Pendant as a first item)

Nice alt builds but you desperately need some penetration, like Obsidian Shard. +20 pen from Spear of Desolation is NOT BAD, but not the best. You can still keep it with Obsidian Shard

... you do realize she gets a bonus for completed skills right? As nice as that extra level in sic 'em would be, getting that bonus early could make a big difference. Not having much experience playing with or against her I can't put much comment on the build, but will look into it.
