Bacchus Arena Mage --- Smash n Dash (WIP)

This is my first guide so I realize the BB coding and such are not the best I will be continually improving it. This build for Bacchus is focused primarily on bursting down squishy gods.

Shoes of the Magi - Generally boots are an obvious first choice in arena where mobility is so important. I choose pen boots because I rely on being able to quickly burst people down

Hide of the Urchin - I prefer to get Hide second because it protects you when you dive into the enemy team and will force the enemy to think twice about focusing you.

Polynomicon - I get Polynomicon because it adds the icing onto the cake, after you've knocked people up and smashed your wine jug over their head a simple poly proc is generally just enough to finish them off.

Bancrofts Talon - Bancrofts Talon adds some oopmh to this build making all of you abilties hurt more. It also has the added benefit of lifesteal.

Rod of Tahuiti - This item should substantially increase your damage done with its raw power and passive.

Soul Reaver - By the time you have finished this you should easily 100-0 people with a Belly Flop, Belch, and Intoxicate combo

Drunk-O-Meter - I believe this is one of the best passives in the game, when smashed it reduces all damage taken by 14% and also gives 30 magical power!

Chug- This ability is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. It fills your Drunk-O-Meter and gives you protections, however in order to keep your Drunk-O-Meter full it requires lots of mana.

Belly Flop - I choose to prioritize Belly Flop for its ridiculous burst damage. While usually used on the offensive its a great escape as well.

Belch of the Gods - this ability is prioritized after belly flop as it is great for finishing off low HP targets and keeping enemies in place for you and your team to kill.

Intoxicate - This is what makes you feared most by squishy's, at any point in the game this can take anywhere from 25-50% of a squishy's health making them very easy to kill.

Early Game - The second you spawn in you should put 2 points into chug and start spamming it. Making sure you take advantage of the time before the game starts will decide how effective you are early game. Your main focus should be getting to level 5.

Mid Game - When you hit level 5 you should be looking for any squishy god (preferably without an escape) near 60% HP. at around 60% a Belly Flop into Intoxicate should be enough to kill a squishy leaving you with Belch of the Gods to stun your pursuers and help make your escape. While ult is down Belly Flop into groups of enemies and Belch out for good poke/initiation.

Late Game - This is where you really shine you should be constantly Belly Flopping around and harassing their squishies.

Run around the arena and jump on people. Make sure you tell your team before the match that your building as a mage not a tank.
