Introduction

Welcome to the Web. Hahahafunnyok.

With Arachne being an auto-attack based character, you won't need any of the ability-based items such as Transcendence. Season 8 has taken a turn against Crit-items for the better, as hopefully they'll be taken out of the game entirely.

Her only escape is her ultimate, so don't be jumping in to fights with it unless you can guarantee you'll escape. You can engage using your Web ability, then charge at them with your Venomous Bite as well as the Cocoon. You can use all 3 abilities at once, but always engage with your Web.

The goal for her is to get in quick, and leave with kills in her favor just as quickly. That being said, you'll need attack speed with pen items in order to burst anyone down quick enough. You'll obviously want to focus on the more squishy gods first, so stick to farming mid lane, the enemy jungler, along with their carry. Avoid fighting the tanks until mid to late game if you can single them out.

Early Game

One of the main focuses I do my bset to go for, is the early-game farm and with Arachne, it couldn't be any easier.

SO, first thing you need to do once you get out of the Fountain is make an immediate rush to your speed buff. Lay one spider web on the spawn-point of the big creep, then put the other two webs you are allowed to lay down on the Primary-Harpy Camp, You only have 3 spider webs, keep that in mind. 2 on your primary-harpy camp, 1 on speed buff. Which opens a new avenue a lot of junglers don't get the privledge to: early gank of mid lane before their wave is even cleared.

Depending on your playstyle, you could blink on their mid laner and attempt to get a kill early and be set for a long while. Or, if you're the more casual farmer, you can clear mid-harpies and be on your way to every available jungle buff in sight. Once that is done, your speed buff will be back up. Getting the golden blade built as early as possible is a must.

Pros / Cons

Pro's:

    Easy burst-down capability
    High sustain
    Built in lifesteal, getaway, stun, slow
    Created for clean-ups and 1 v 1's
    Decent clear
    Amazing at chases
    CC-getaway ultimate and provides a slow if you're crazy enough to use it to engage in a team fight
Con's:
    Vulnerable to CC
    Not an amazing fighter in team-fights, but it can be done if you act as the clean-up crew.

Very helpfull thank you

What would the second relic be? Would you put a teleportation relic for solo or an aegis/beads as a second for the jungle?
1
Kriega1 (143) | April 27, 2020 3:59pm
Jungle is Beads/Aegis 2nd.

Solo you can maybe get Teleport or you can get a normal relic and skip teleport.

Hi, so being totally honest some things are a little off but in general it's a good guide. I think it could use some colors and some BBcoding to catch attention in the most important parts and to make it more entertaining to read. But overall it's an up vote from me :)

Im a little confused on this guide. The ability line says to start with venomous bite, yet your description in the earl-game section suggests one should start with web? Or am i missing something? Should i be doing Web then Venomous bite x2 instead of Venomous and then web?

Zx Eternal xZ | November 13, 2019 8:24am
So you start with your web for early game clear, but the moment you hit level 2 and 3, venomous bite is the next ability to get. The earlier you get it maxed, the better as it has a nice amount of burst damage and tick.

*and early sustain.

Kriega1 (143) | October 27, 2019 11:17am
Pretty sure you should start with web at level 1

Zx Eternal xZ | November 13, 2019 8:20am
Yes, you are supposed to start with your web, my mistake.

Kriega1 (143) | May 11, 2019 11:02am
Are you sure you want to prioritise The Executioner over Qin's Sais?

Also add Magi's Cloak and Mantle of Discord as situational choices.

For damage, Runeforged Hammer can work as well.

boogiebass (46) | May 11, 2019 4:07am
Have you tried magi's cloak? Also, the guide would benefit from bb coding.

I like the start and the core items you listed, but why are you listing Hydra's Lament? I don't think Arachne is a god that does well with aa-canceling. I'd replace Hydra's with Qin's Sais (it goes well with The Executioner).

I'd also replace Asi with Bloodforge.

Don't list Berserker's Shield, it's a bridge item and shouldn't be a real defensive option. Pick Void Shield instead. Also, Armored Cloak is a tier 2 item, you should list Hide of the Urchin instead.

boogiebass (46) | May 11, 2019 4:06am
Yea but asi isn't bad in a qins sais build for the AS.

You are right, I meant to do Hide of the Urchin over Armored Cloak. I completely spaced there. Bloodforge wouldn't be a bad item to sub for that Asi.
Thanks for your input!
