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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

You always want Protector over Seer of the Jungle. You make one of the BEST Jungle items in the game and throw it out of the window with Seer.
On the crit build Dominance 2nd item is worthless. You are running garbage pen so early on in the game where Wind Demon has more value. Also still get Golden Blade, especially on Arachne. Arachne has one of the worst Jungle clears where it is a MUST have.
My recommended build for Arachne is: Protector, Golden Blade, Vital Amp, Qins, Fer Exec, Serrated Edge, sell Golden Blade late for like bloodforge or something. Recipes are irrelevant.
Also start 3 but don't level her web until last. Your level order should be 1>2>4>3. Her 2 is an attack speed stim.
Golden Blade first item is a well known starter for Arachne I didn’t feel the need to put it in both builds since selling it late game is common.
Leveling your 2 over your 3 sounds interesting though. I get why you would do that now but her attack speed stim didn’t used to be the whole duration which is why I didn’t think of that. Good idea.
Protector is indeed one of the best items in the game but Seer allows Arachne to shred any objective with or without help. If you’re losing and your jungle is constantly warded, Seer may be the better option. Either can be used with either build it is situational.
Thanks for the (aggressive) tips though. I welcome criticism.
I'm about a month into playing smite and I i was just getting the hang of it then then this year 10 update comes out and now some of my go to items are gone.
Would this build work in arena? I'm not much for conquest
Yeah, throws you for a loop, huh? Surprise, Year 10 let's change all the items around!!!
As you're new to the game, your matchups might allow you to have better than average success with
The reason you can basically tell this build is meant for Conquest is due to the presence of
IF you're insistent on playing her in Arena, I would probably suggest considering the following items in no specific order:
- Core items: 
 Qin's Sais (main damage, strong against high health targets), 
 The Executioner (main pen) 
- Other penetration considerations: 
 Atalanta's Bow, 
 Silverbranch Bow, 
 Dominance 
- Lifesteal options (typically only choose one): 
 Serrated Edge, 
 Asi, 
 Bloodforge 
- Situational / utility: 
 Hastened Katana (stick to an enemy), 
 Odysseus' Bow (chain damage in teamfights), 
 Toxic Blade (anti-heal) 
- If you really want crit: 
 Demon Blade + 
 Envenomed Deathbringer (build both), with 
 Bladed Boomerang as a situational, not really recommended 3rd crit item. Another option would be 
 Rage + 
 Envenomed Deathbringer, making sure to get AS items for your other 4. 
Now that's not going to help you in a build, so I'll give a couple full build examples. I'm not really including any starter/upgrades here because most of them see much better use in Conquest for her.- Standard Qin's / AS build: 
 Dominance -> 
 The Executioner -> 
 Qin's Sais -> 
 Atalanta's Bow -> 
 Silverbranch Bow -> 
 Serrated Edge or any other lifesteal or utility item. Dom first will provide you with some mana sustain since she can be very mana hungry especially early.
 
- Hastened Build (Hastened can be delayed if preferred): 
 Hastened Katana -> 
 The Executioner -> 
 Qin's Sais -> 
 Atalanta's Bow -> 
 Silverbranch Bow -> 
 Serrated Edge or any other lifesteal or utility item. You're going to lack mana sustain here, but you'll be able to stick to enemies easily w/ Hastened effect. Note that if you're using your 3 well, you don't even necessarily need Hastened to stick to enemies, as the Web slows your target if you hit them. If they're getting out no matter what you do, Hastened can definitely help. Consider building it later in the build so you can evaluate your need for it. You can also try going with the first build, and inserting Hastened after Qin's.
 
- Crit Build: 
 Dominance -> 
 Rage -> 
 The Executioner -> 
 Envenomed Deathbringer -> 
 Qin's Sais -> 
 Atalanta's Bow. Honestly not fully sure about this one, but I do know you'd want to build 
 Rage earlier in the build to help gain stacks. You don't have to get Qin's here, you could choose the other crit item, etc. 
To see the best success in general, you'll want to be patient and wait for opportunities to engage without endangering yourself too much. You can be more aggressive when your ult is available, but otherwise, watch for enemy ability usage, and more specifically for enemies that have separated themselves. Once you're near full build and have high AS with bothAs a lifesteal item, you're likely to use
