Introduction

Hello all,

My name is Vansqu, I'm a casual player who likes making builds for my gods. I have finally decided to share them with others for feedback and opinions. Personally I prefer playing PvP in numerous games with my own builds.

Furthermore I also make youtube videos as a hobby and for fun. In the future I'm planning to make these god guides also on there.

In short, here is the adaptive build that I personally use for Skadi and I hope you will enjoy or appreciate my point of view.

Skadi & Kaldr

Skadi is a very interesting Hunter/ADC who brings a new mechanic to the table. Skadi is tagged as a Pusher and she makes this true with her kit. Kaldr (Pet/Wolf) can be controlled on who you want him to attack. She can use Kaldr (Pet/Wolf) for high amount of pressure or to tank/deal damage the Tower/Phoenix/Titan.

Personally I find that Skadi is not really an AA Hunter/ADC because her kit is build around working together with Kaldr. Furthermore he scales 100% of Skadi's basic attack damage when Rune Of The Hunt is r4.

So I like playing her more like an Assassin that flanks from the sides which helps with her lack of "**** This **** I'm Out" (No Escape).

Hmm weird, on my screen the skill order is normal.
On my screen it is as followed:

1>3>2>1>4>1>2>2>4>3>1>1>4>3>3>3>4>2>2>4

P.S.

Thank you for your positive feedback

P.P.S

Thank you for the +1

I need to get a gif for that.

Nice, fairly short & sweet guide with some good tips and explanations.

Just fix the god skill order and I'll +1 it.

Edit: Is there something screwy going on with the god skill order? I see the same incomplete sequence on the next guide on the list!

Edited Edit: +1

Summary

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
