I just made this after the last update. Did some math and tried different things in practice to test them. Later applied them in Conquest and Arena and got mixed results. I realize this build seems a bit ridiculous and that building him as a tank works much better. Also a damage mage with the same items could do much more damage. The point is to show the potential of such a build on a god such as Ymir. All calculations are done with an item build completed with full stacks and at level 20. No active items, buffs, or potions are included in this build.

Passive Frostbite- Abilities used on a god cause basic attacks to do 100% extra damage for 5 seconds to said god.
1 Ice Wall- 6 second wall that does 0 damage but activates polynomicon
2 Glacial Strike- 883.82 magical damage before protections and a slow for 4s plus frostbite
3 Frost Breath- 638.18 magical damage before protections stun for 2.25s plus frostbite
4 Shard of Ice- 2912.74 magical damage before protections and frostbite

Next basic attack after ability that causes polynomicon and frostbite will do 1105.4 before protections. Each successive attack on target for 5s after ability that activates Frostbite will do 249 magical damage before protections.

Items: Book of Thoth, Warlocks Sash, Ethereal Staff, Rod of Tahuti, Soul Reaver, Polynomicon (I do not believe the order matters).
Gold Spent: 17320.
Magical power- 856.4
Health- 3690
Mana- 2710
physical def- 87
magical def- 48
movement speed- 360
attack speed- 1.05

These stats allow Ymir to kill the golden fury with a freeze, glacial blast, and a few basic attacks and to defeat the fire giant using all four abilities and five to seven basic attacks before losing 1500 health. It is not necessary to use all of his abilities, but it is the quickest way to kill the fire giant.

Oh I did, sorry about that. I included it in the total cost but not in the item list. Thank you for noticing that. I'll edit it and add that in. Ymir with boots isn't fast enough to catch enemy gods with boots, or some even without boots. If someone is fleeing, the freeze or wall is his only way to catch them. If neither work, the teammates can catch them and at the very least slow them down if not kill them.

For the record, in the items section, you forgot to mention Polynomicron.

And there are no boots...gonna be hard to catch someone. Still, it was fun in jungle practice with free farm.

Using his glacial blast quickly becomes able to clear a minion wave and the stacks are gained permanently. This does require quite a lot of farm to complete however. In the games I played I believe I only completed it once or twice. Usually the other team would have surrendered or decided to focus me because of low protections by then. If my team was successful it was usually surrender but if a teammate was having a bad game it would not end as well.
I only made this build and use it because I like using it. I'm not going to suggest using it in ranked or tournaments. It is just a build to use if you want to have some fun or just try it out. People never expect a ymir to be landing the damage this build makes him deliver. Got a triple kill because the enemies all stood in my ult because they thought it would tank ymir level power.

Only problem I have is the immense amount of farming it requires. 50 on Thoth, 100 on Warlock's, this requires you to be in a solo lane in conquest, it's useless in assault, and it's very hard to utilize in arenas. I miss facepunch ymir, but this is....complicated.

Also, this makes it possible for Ymir to fully solo both the Fire Giant and Gold fury.Fully built Magical Damage Ymir is capable of killing the golden fury with Frost Breath, Glacial Strike, and one auto attack. The fire giant takes longer to kill but Ymir will stay above half health with ease.
