So, Silent, just like you like to go more damage-y on tanky gods, doing the reverse with some historically squishy gods is a thing as well.

Sometimes, even in Conquest, you'll see a Ne Zha or Nox Support, and they often will build things like Lono's Mask and the tanky protection/aura items. So no, this isn't all that strange, though Arachne isn't one of the usual ones.

It's hard to estimate the effectiveness here, because you've got some extremely funky builds going on. The Eset went full AS and I don't think knew WTF she was doing. The Pele built Silverbranch Bow for some reason, as did the Cupid (but that one makes a bit more sense because they built WAAAAY too much AS so at least they got something out of SBB's passive...but that build is still fairly hideous (the score doesn't reflect that, lol).

But if you look at the Arachne, those numbers are solid. Would have been 3rd most damage on your team, and did 3rd most damage on their own team. In addition, they tanked a ****ton, thanks in most part to Lono's Mask.

Now, they could have built more effectively, IMO. THey didn't even have boots, for one, and I wouldn't have gotten Shifter's Shield or Odysseus' Bow, for example. Instead, I would probably build something like Warrior Tabi (or Reinforced Greaves), Lono's Mask, Void Shield, Hide of the Urchin, Frostbound Hammer, Oni Hunter's Garb (or whatever order, it's all pretty screwy).

Tanky Arachne could work for funsies. She can wade into damage, do her CC stuff with the Web and Cocoon, and when things get too hot, she can ult out...all while having mitigated an absolute ton of damage.

Obviously there are other funky builds going on there, but I'm not going to go over every single one.
