Bastet - Scratch The Game I Jungle & Solo Guide

Hello there and welcome to my Season 2 Guide for

---

Bastet The Goddess Of Cats She is and Plays as a Physical Caster focused around the early and mid game but her late game is not bad at all. She has a unique play style making her a great pick against non sustain mages or hunters in the solo lane due to her bleed often forcing them back. She is also great in the jungle due to her early pressure with cat call. Overall she is a powerful Assassin that can make unreal early pressure on most enemy gods especially gods without Escapes such as Artemis and Nox forcing sprint rank 2 very early into the game or risk death to cat call.

• 3/4/2015 (10:19pm) - added in the build section as per request from the comments i find the current build options a bit messy so i used a custom build instead Custom Item Build.Also Ill be Putting out some other guides within a week or 2 as i finish them up as you can see im trying to learn to use Anchros batter to make a fully Custom Table Of Contents...
  

  ---

Pros: + Great Early Pressure with cat call + Great Mobility and Escape potential in the form of Pounce + High Damage Bleed with her Razor Whip + Great Burst Mid Game + Amazing Backdoor Objective Shredding Potential + Long Range slow Declaw that also deals decent Damage

Cons: - Squishy Target - The Return jump from Pounce can be prevented with CC - DeClaw can be hard to hit at max range - Cat Call somewhat falls off Late Game in some cases helps the enemy - Weak vs slows as they also can slow her cat call and she her self will be forced to Pounce which can then be followed one way or another...

Here I will Talk About the kit some Mechanics and give some tips:

---

This Page has optional(click on them) Mechanic advise and Tips if your looking for a short read only look at the Underlined text and the text in Red Color.

---

Open Wound

Open Wound(~) This is our Passive Ability after Dealing Damage with a Ability to a enemy god the Next Ability to effect that god deals15%More Damageto that god.

---

---

Pounce(1) This our Escape and Chasing Spell it also Deals High Damageand lets us move 25% Faster while in the Pounce Back State Only. Casting the spell makes us jump to the targeted AoE then we Enter the Pounce Back State for 4 sec Using the Spell during this time makes us jump back to our Starting Location.

---

---

Razor Whip(2) This is our Hardest Hitting Ability it is a Damage Over Time bleed that can scale up to 400+ damage early and can reach 800+ at our late game. its range is a cone In front of us so be careful on your aim its harder to hit at point blank range on a target running circles then it may seem...

---

---

DeClaw

DeClaw(3) DeClaw is a long range line skill shot that deals Damage and Slows targets by 30% it can hit more then 1 target if there close togather!

---

---

Cat Call

Cal Call(4) This is out Ultimate we summon/call forth 3 cats that deal damage and slow enemy gods per hit they are attracted to Targets Effected By Razor Whip.

Click the +For the Detailed Build to Pop UP. Since Many had a hard time noticing these i also added this text here in addition to the build at the top page

• Physical Caster/Objective Scratcher Solo Lane

  
  

  
  
  • Full Build: This is what were aiming for at the Late Game
    
    , , , , ,
    

    ---

  • Startoff with Charged Morningstar and some pots i usually go with 3 Healing Potion and 1/2 Multi Potion
    

    ---

  • Transcendence Transcendence gives a large amount of power and mana and since were a physical caster we want both of that in Solo Lane this is always a rushed priority item.

    ---

  • Warrior Tabi Next up we need some shoes and what batter then the higher power Warrior Tabi its just what we wanted.

    ---

  • Jotunn's Wrath After That High Power we sure could use some CDR pen and more Power this is the perfect 3rd item as this is when we start rotating out of Solo Lane much more often then before this point as a tower will probably be down either for your or the enemy team.

    
    

    ---

  • Shifter's Shield The 4th item is usually More Versatile but i love getting Shifter's Shield its such a higher power item and makes us a bit harder to kill when on low HP not a must but a great pick up.

    ---

  • Brawler's beat stick Were a Physical Caster and a Assassin which means we need a lot of flat Pen to take down key targets that build mostly full damage on the enemy team and this item does that perfectly as our 5th item in addition to its higher power and healing reduction!

    ---

  • The Crusher One of the New Items on the Block it may not have been in many builds so far but bastet is a great god for this item not only does it offer yet another wooping 20 flat pen and 40 power its passive makes us hit towers much much faster combined with our cats with this we can backdoor towers and phoenixes all day long the enemy team will almost always need to send 1 god to deal with you maybe even 2 if your feed!

    ---

  • titan's Bane In Case You dont want to go for The Crusher and are focusing more on teamfights Titan's Bane is a overall batter pick up due to its % pen working well on Warriors so get it if a enemy warrior goes out of control otherwise this item is also quite good vs towers and phoenixes as well so were not really losing anything by taking it!

  ---

  
  
  
  
• Jungle Build

  
  

  
  
  • Full Build: This is what were aiming for at the Late Game
    
    , , , , , this last item is a optional one it can replace The Crusher or Shifter's Shield.
    

    ---

  • Startoff with Bumba's Mask Hand of the Gods rank 2 and Healing Potion x2 or 1x Healing Potion 1x Multi Potion
    

    ---

  • Warrior Tabi In the Jungle Movement Speed cant be delayed at all getting these ASAP is a must!

    ---

  • Jotunn's Wrath since we are the jungler we need to make a presence and with this we can make a lot more cat calls which in return means we make a higher impact on the enemy team!

    ---

  • Transcendence this is a bit tricky now as its not gonna be easy to stack it but if your ahead and can afford to this item gives you the batter DPS boost If your Not Ahead and dont think you will be able to stack it skip this item and follow the rest of the build!

    
    

    ---

  • Shifter's Shield In Case you Managed to get Transcendence as your 3rd item leave this as your final item or skip it it really depends on the match in case Transcendence was 3rd get the next item as your 4th item.

    ---

  • Brawler's beat stick since we have some power now we need to get the Pen online and this item does do that rather well.

    ---

  • The Crusher this it would be coming in as our 5th pen item but it is possible to delay it as item 6 and get Titan's Bane instead or remove it from the build in favor of getting Shifter's Shield last instead. singe in this scenario your the jungler you will need to decide which item is more important in the scenario your facing.

    ---

  • Titan's bane usually this would be our last or 5th item depending on your above choices as we would usually need the % pen as a jungler more so then a solo laner and this item would replace either The Crusher or shifer's shield.

    ---

Here i will explain the Basics of the Solo Lane for Bastet and some basic Conditions for when to pick Bastet for the Solo Lane:

• you can pick Bastet as a counter to any Squishy Non Sustain mage.

  ---

• you can pick Bastet as a counter to Solo Lane Hunters such as Rama.

  ---

• you can pick Bastet to make the enemy team think she will jungle and thus they might pick gods or compositions to reflect that and effect bans ect... this is a team thing though so make sure to talk about it!

  ---

• you do not pick Bastet into solo lane if there is a high chance that she will fight tanky gods such as Osiris and Hercules and dear god never pick her into heavy sustain solo lanes such as Ra Zhong Kui and Chaac even if your chances of getting killed are low you will be forced out of farm!

  ---

  
  

  The Start of the Match

  ---

  
  Sorry for getting a tad long here folks im trying to make a batter presentation for this section but cant decide on a good one advise for this is welcome!
  
  We Begin the match with our starter items mentioned above Charged Morningstar and some Healing Potion & Multi Potion.
  
  we go on to help the jungler clear his Orange(Speed) buff and then we do Blue Buff for us as we will need the mana early on even with the pots we then head into the lane.
  
  while in lane in addition to farming we want to focus on these 3 things:
  
  
  
  • Harassing the enemy god with our Razor Whip and declaw.
    

    ---

  • Warding the Enemy Orange/Speed Buff in Preparation of stealing it when it comes back up depriving the enemy jungle of speed buff will greatly cripple his ganks and rotations.
    

    ---

  • Rotating at any Possible Chance for mid camps and ganks on mid lane if you force back a re-call and they dont get Teleport to Towers you can rotate gank mid lane and help your team with mid camps.
    
    
    

    ---

    Combos for Lane Clear and Poke

    ---

    click here for details i did this to avoid walls of text

    
    
    in order to clear the wave in the fastest possible time you have a few options:

    
    
    • cast declaw on the oncoming wave to slow there front line into its backline and hit Razor Whip.
      

      ---

    • with a very good position and movement of spell during cast you can hit Razor Whip on the whole minion wave this only works if the minion wave was not moved in a un natural way thus if the enemy god managed to disrupt the natural positions of the minions you cant clear with just Razor Whip.
      
      

      ---

    • another option to max Pounce fist and clear the wave by jumping on top of it due to its high scaling this will indeed clear the wave though your using your escape/chasing tool for it but it can work it also works wonders on jungler ganks as most Dont Expect the high Early Burstof this spell.
      

      ---

Here i will explain the few start's you have a Bastet in the jungle but before all that i will count down some important notes:

• Your Job Is To Help The Team Get Ahead Or Gain Advantages Either By Getting The Team Kills,Stealing Camps or Forcing out Enemy Ultimate's and Escaping.

  ---

• You Shall Act As The Second Main Warder After The Support/Tank After Every Back Take 1/2 wards With Any Left Over Gold Or 1 Sentry Ward And Use It To Take Away Enemy Vision This Is a Vital Aspect Of Your Role!

  ---

• Do Not Be Greedy,Do Not Be Selfish,Do Not Fight Bad Fights =(Translation)= Do Not Tower Dive While Not Prepared Or Backed Up By The Team, Do Not Chase Uncertain Kills,Dont Start Fights Your Team Is Not Cool With (They Might Not Follow Up or Worse They Might Miss ect...)

---

Normal Start

• We get our starting item's aka Bumba's Mask, Hand of the Gods rank 2 and Healing Potion x1 for the jungle with the left over 50 gold i start with 1 Ward

  ---

• First we now decide were we want to put our Ward either a defensive one near the entrance to our buffs or a aggressive one near the enemy buffs this depends if your planning on stealing the enemy blue or if your going for the standard start
  

the aggressive invade ish start If you chose to place the ward near the enemy Blue Buff you need to make sure that your solo laner has a Hand of the Gods and that he needs to use it on yourOrange/Speed Buff and finally you need to rank up Pounce at lvl 1 now after you have your Speed Buff you run either past the FG and towards the enemy Blue Buff. or you run through the jungle path towards the enemy Blue Buff . Once you confirm that they have starter there blue buff and that Hand of the Gods has been used or if the buff is low enough. you Pounce in use your own Hand of the Gods drop the enemyBlue Buffand Pounce out. this way the enemy solo laner will be blue less and your own will have a advantage as well as you will get more exp. if the enemy is on low HP you and the Solo Laner can try to go in for a kill. Finally after doing this your run into the lane Stay for 2/3 minion waves for lvl 3 and our exp bar to be at about half now at around 1:45/2:00 min in at most we go for our 2 Back Camps and then Go To middle lane if mid was pushed we can pass by and try to gank or get some exp from the minion wave before doing the back camps as the 3:00 min mark is coming you want to contest the mid camps as Bastet you can get 1 of the camps Instantly with a Pounce + Hand of the Godslet your Team Know Which Ones your going to getSo they can Secure the Other Ones!you usually want to getThe Mid Camps Next to the Solo Lane. at this point the back camps are back so we pick those up and recall for items at this point buff camps will be Re-Spawning so we want to check with our team what lanes are pushed and how there going you also want some vision on the enemy team if everything is ok you and the solo lanerShould try and Steal the enemySpeed Buff. at this point you simple repeat the above steps and gank/rotate to lanes to your best ability

the Normal Start In this Case Put Down our Ward near the area between out buff camps and FG in order to spot a potential Enemy Invade if everything seems safe by the time the buffs spawn we use Hand of the Gods on our Orange/Speed Buff and then help the solo laner with his Blue Buff. we now Stay in lane for 2/3 minion waves until were lvl 3 we now rotate to mid lane and take 1 minion wave worth of experience and take the back camps. we know rotate back to mid for the mid camps spawning at 3:00 min you can clear them fast with a Pounce + Hand of the Gods combo you usually want to take the camps near the Solo Lane. Back Camps should be coming up again about now if they are we pick them up and recall back to base for items if there not up we still recall back to base for items now as the buff camps are coming back up you can See how your team is doing and decide to either invade and take enemy buffs or just clear your own buffs while rotating between lanes and ganking in between as needed!

---

The Invading Start

Option 1:Normal Invade

For this start you need to check your team compositions ideally you want to have higher lvl 1 Fighting Potential such as Thanatos Osiris Ymir Hercules or long slows such as Zhong Kui Osiris.

Or You can Have a easy to escape Jungler which can steal the buff take it and get out at present time the only gods that can really do this are Bastet Loki and maybe ao kaung in our case Bastet with some vision from our Ward we just jump over the wall and steal the buff then either jump out or commit for the kill more details bellow

---

Option 2:The Pick Off

for this you roam as a team and if you see or find a enemy god out of position or trying to ward you jump then and blow them up with 5 of you they will melt in mere moments.
Gods that are great for these kinds of compositions are the the ones with strong position displacement such as:

• Sobek with his Charge Prey can make a easy set up for a kill works great with a Anhur as the adc(though with the nerfs Anhur got he aint picked often).

  ---

• Hercules his Driving Strike and Earthbreaker have great disposition potential and can lead to good pick offs

  ---

• Eset due to her potential long range stun with Spirit Ball or chase potential with Wing Gust

  ---

any combination of the above gods are great for these kinds of invades as they dont need to get a blink to close gaps between them and the target some ideal combinations can come from sobek support junlge/solo Hercules a Charge Prey + Driving Strike can often be first blood if a Eset follows up its usually GG for that god hunters with early game CC or slows such as Neith and her root or Cupidwith his slow are also decent with these invades.

Ill be Working on this as play against them in solo lane i often dont call solo fast enough and often im forced to jungle instead of solo as i called due to my team threatening me to afk(i get a ton of try hards) thus this will be a WIP section

He Bo

---

Bastet The Goddess Of Cats Overall Bastet is a Great Pick to Many Team Comps. She excels at Tormenting Enemy Gods in the Early/mid Game. She is a great god to play against Squishy Non Sustain Gods such as He Bo or Janus or even Eset. She has Great Objective Backdoor Potential with her cat call and the right build and or a FG + Red Buff. Has Great Chasing and Clean Up Potential after a won fight with Pounce, Razor Whip, and DeClaw.
