Introduction

Oh baba where to start it all chaotic. I been playing smite for awhile but never once post any build for any gods but baba here is just so chaotic for both the people playing her and against her. I not sure what to do with her should we play her in support or take here down middle or solo lane (not going lie a part if me wants to take her into the jungle and see how she does) so these builds are just a few ideas I had and not the most ideal builds any other god I would dare think of using so many stack items it be better to just replace them with a different item with similar stats

Skills

Baba 1 is her most useful skill even if it can be difficult to use since aim it. but her 2 and 3 make it hard to pick what to upgrade first her 2 comes in handle for poke range damge and some cc and her 3 does good amount of aoe same and great to use against unwanted jungler attacks and ok amount of defence
So really what you upgrade first is up too you

Items

Ok let's talk items
First i going say ideal build and probable be hard to pull off in game and can be replaced with other items.
I didn't do relic or consumable since really that should be something most players can figure out themselves.
Some her I am only going talk about a few items and why I chose them

1 guardian bless: not going lie only reason I choice this bless over magic blessing most of time was the gold and baba can get stack fast just walking to the speed camp it already get to 7 without even firing an attack
2 warlock staff: really both warlock staff and book of thoth are great items for baba do to her passive but I couldn't pass up more up
3 staff of myrddin: and item that in my eye is look down on way too much after using baba out you be able to use any skill 2 times in a row so you can throw out her 1 twice, get both her potions ready to fire, or just blast your way out of there with her 3
4 pridwen: is in mostly do to shield and cd book of dead is mostly in same boat
5 urchin: health+ defence+ shield

I think other items speak for self

Pros / Cons

Pros: very flexible can take risks if doing more then one stack. Can be tricky to counter build

Cons: chaotic and hard to figure out what to build and early game ganks can hurt a lot not

Summary

Really baba is just so flexible it a good thing but also bad since she not constant like other gods hi-rez hit the nail on head of making the most chaotic god ever in smite going be challenging to deal with both as playing her and against her I would love to hear what everyone has to stay about her and how to build her since really I don't know myself

I wouldn't build Pridwen on Baba Yaga, I'm not sure why it's such a trend. The shield only comes off once you're back out of your cabin, and if you're building full tank you shouldn't have a problem. Even more-so, you shouldn't be ulting when you're about to die on her anyways.

It trending because it a good item it comes with decent amount of defence and cool down the shield after luring is a bounce since people will charge after baba when she ults and the shield gives extra protection and a chance to do more damage when it explodes at the end

Good comment, and agreed. That said, I don't think getting Pridwen is dependent on the concept that you plan to use it when you're about to die so you can get the shield. I think in a lot of cases, most gods that pick it up want to be able to use the shield as additional survivability earlier in a fight.

In the case of Baba, IF I picked it up, I'd probably want to initiate a fight by burning all of my abilities, jump in with the 3, and then ult. You never ult with Baba to survive anything, since the shield is fairly weak, the damage on the landing is low so it's not like people are super scared of being near her when she ults, and she has no mobility once she's in it.

Ah, I understand. I suppose it just boils down to preference then. In my experience playing her in different roles I just think there are much better item choices still.

Ok let me explain more pridewn is not in just for the shield but also cool down and both the magical and physical protection giving and lot of people I notice will run at baba when she ults and shield coming out of the got just a little extra protection when the ult is done and possibility of dealing a little more damage
