Introduction

Bsstet is by far the best split pusher in the game. This is mostly due to the amazing structure damage that her cats do. In most conquest or clash games, she will always be switching lanes and using her cats. She is an assassin, so she has a specific combo that will deal the most damage: 1-2-4-3. This will let you initiate on the fight with a lot of damage from your jump. You make them bleed and then sick your cats. Once they start running away, line up your three and throw.

Items

Start off with Bumba's Mask, the best starter item for jungling.
You want to buy Warrior Tabi for the power and movement speed.
Next you should get Jotunn's Wrath which will give some cooldown, mana, power, and pen. They will all help Bastet's already amazing early game get even better.
Transcendence will give you a boost in mana and power. The stacks will slowly help keep your mana up with your levels. You can pick this up first if you are playing more aggressively.
Hydra's Lament almost maxes out your CDR while giving you some good power. It's passive will help you when using your combo. It will help because you will most likely be chasing and using your basic attacks because all of your abilities are either in use or on cooldown.
Titan's Bane will help you take down towers, while split pushing, and dealing more damage while ganking.
Stone Cutting Sword will be your last item and will replace Bumba's Mask. It gives good movement speed so you can more effectively chase enemies. The penetration and power combination help you to do more damage.

Skills

Passive: Open Wound- A very good ability to deal extra damage. It applies a open which is placed when an opponent is hit by an ability. It is consumed when the "wound heals" (35 seconds passes with no ability damage from Bastet) or when Bastet hits the enemy with another ability.
#1: Pounce- a very good escape and initiation. It not only gets her away from battle but it has Aoe damage wherever she lands. Not only does it do damage but for four seconds after she lands, Bastet can reactivate her ability to leap back to the ;location she started. I think this really helps when you get low or when being chased.
#2: Razor Whip- such a good DoT for clearing camps and securing kills. Combine this with your Ult to maximize your damage.
#3: Declaw- a long range projectile, that slows the target if they are hit. If you combine this with the slow on your Ult and the DoT from your two and your target will be dead in seconds.
#4: Cat Call- one of the most damaging ults early game. It not only damages you but it will slow the target. If you combine this with your two, the cats will attack the bleeding target.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

    Strong Lane Pusher
    Easy Tower Damage
    One of the Strongest Early Ults
    Declaw goes through towers


Cons:
    Squishy
    Easily Countered by CC
    Mana Hungry Early Game

Creeping / Jungling

Bastet is very good at taking big camps like Gold Fury or Fire Giant. If she uses her cats to tank the damage while the rest of the team attacks, they should be able to take it easily. She isn't known for her jungling, but I feel she is underrated in this field. The damage from her jump and the DoT from Razor Whip easily clears them.

Summary

Bastet is by far the best split pusher but she is also able to jungle to a good extent. Her cats do amazing damage early game and mid game. Late game she does fall off but is still viable. Hopefully, you try this build next time you play Bastet!

I'm just starting out with Bastet and assassins in general so I found this a very helpful guide. However, if you wanted to improve on it I think a section about when you build any of your "other useful items" and what to substitute them for. Also, what do you think of using rune forged hammer instead of frost bound? Bastet has plentiful natural slows so wouldn't the 15% extra damage serve a player better than more slows? Another item I wasn't sure about was warrior tabi. It makes sense for the extra power but early game wouldn't ninja tabi be better for the mana.

@TheGreatWound: Warrior Tabi is pretty much the standard/meta item for Bastet, purely for the damage. Sure, the extra mana from Ninja Tabi would be nice, but she wants as much power as possible since she has such good scaling on her abilities. That, and she's not usually looking to basic attack much, so the 20% attack speed is almost a throwaway stat.

I DO like the idea of Runeforged Hammer in direct comparison to Frostbound Hammer...Frost really shouldn't be purchased for Bastet, as it's mostly meant for basic attacking gods. But at the same time, although Rune will provide some extra damage since she has slows in her kit, it's really better on a Warrior/Solo...it's a tanky item that is meant to enhance your team's damage. Bastet is a get in get out god, so you won't get the added effect against more than 1 enemy (and only if you're close).

The only item that I'd probably get that has any basic attack effect would be Hydra's Lament...easy for her to confirm at least one basic attack between ability use. To keep her as relevant as possible into the late game, she needs all the damage/power she can get.

You would use Frostbound instead of Runeforged because it will help in the long run in terms of team fights and with chasing. If you feel that Runeforged works more, you can use it, I personally don't but if you rpefer it you can use it. You don't use ninja tabi because Bastet isn't a basic attack based god, so you would be trading power for a little more mana.
