I would always recommend this starter if you are going to do an attack speed build, because it provides you with attack speed and good jungle farming!
Axe will evolve into
Golden Blade.
Purification Beads will save you during early game giving CC immunity during 2 seconds.
Bumba's Golden Dagger
Axe
Health Potion
Multi Potion
Purification Beads
Bumba's Spear Even though we're in the ADC lane, this item is key for
Kali because of the sustain and damage to neutral targets. It allows you to farm nearby jungle camps between waves at an absurd speed and gives you the ability power and penetration that makes your ability combo hit like a truck.
Golden Blade This is your farming engine. As
Kali ADC, you don't have arrows that pierce the lane, so you need the area-of-effect effect of the
Golden Blade. It allows you to clear the minion wave in seconds to rotate or pressure the tower, in addition to giving you that extra movement speed that's vital for chasing enemies.
Bragi's Harp A very interesting item for the ADC role. It gives us attack speed and a passive that empowers our basic attacks after using abilities. On
Kali, who is constantly jumping or using her bleed, this ensures that every hit after engaging is significantly heavier and it also scales with your skill number 2!
Hastened Fatalis The most iconic and dangerous item for this god since she was released in Smite 1 and now we are in Smite 2. It removes the movement penalty when using basic attacks. In the hands of an ADC, this means that once you're locked onto your target, they won't escape, no matter how long your dash. It's pure stickiness; you dance around the enemy while you shred them.
Odysseus' Bow At this stage of the game, with the attack speed you already have,
Odysseus' Bow becomes a lightning machine gun. In team fights for Gold Fury or Fire Giant, this item spreads your damage across the entire enemy team, whittling down supports while you focus on your marked target.
Titan's Bane When enemy tanks start building armor so you can't wipe them out in three basic attacks,
Titan's Bane comes into play. That 20-30% physical penetration is what separates a
Kali who's annoying from a
Kali who's effective. It's essential for your damage output to be relevant against all classes in the late game.
Blinking Abyss will boost your item stats and can be used in a deffesinve way for getting out of a teamfight or a gank or aggro for chasing enemy while using
Hastened Fatalis's passive.

I would always recommend this starter because gives a lot of gold that in early game will make a difference comparing to other starters right now in the game!
Axe will evolve into
Devourer's Gauntlet.
Purification Beads will save you during early game giving CC immunity during 2 seconds.
Gilded Arrow
Axe
Health Potion
Purification Beads
Sharpshooter's Arrow it is a really good starter because provides you high attack damage, attack speed a critical chances that fit perfectly with this build!
Devourer's Gauntlet works perfectly with this starter because you don't have any sustain and this item gives you good lifesteal and strength.
Demon Blade it is a good choice for early game critical build because is the only item which provides you with crit and attack speed.
Deathbringer is the best critical item because boosts your critical damage. You need to build this item as soon as possible to have enough critical chances to make this build work.
Titan's Bane provides you with with great amount of strength and penetration being a very cheap item.
Hastened Fatalis is a good mid/late game choice because of the passive effect, whenever you hit an auto attack to an enemy god your basic attack movement penalty is reduced which can make a huge difference in offesinve situations like chasing an enemy.
Blinking Abyss's kinda broken because apart of providing strength or intelligence depeding which one you have the most, enhaced your other item stats and will help you a lot in surviving during late game fights!
This build is meant for competitive because your enemies are supposed to be in communication and playing smart so you will be in most of the cases only hitting tanks or junglers that are trying to kill you. Most of them will have more than 200 hundred physical and magical protections and more than 3500 HP so you will need to have bought penetration items for being able to kill them as quick as possible.

Purification Beads
Phantom Shell should be bought if their set up doesn't have gods with much CC's and they have walls in their kits like
Ymir or
Cabrakan.
Aegis of Acceleration it is a really good option because it has low CD. You should always buy it in the games where the enemy gods don't have much CC's or in the case they have many burst skills.
Phantom Shell
Aegis of Acceleration
Rage's a great option if you fall behind and you need a cheap item with critical chances so you can buy other penetration items earlier!

Hey, this guide is brought to you by TottiGR! I started playing Smite on PC in February 2014. I have been playing competitive since 2016 and I have been a professional Smite player between March 2020 to July 2023. I have played in different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans this last year. I have peaked 3500 MMR GM/Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC every season since 2017. I also made Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022 so I really think I have the knowledge about guiding about the ADC role. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing
Kali as an ADC.
Here are my socials:
This aspect is crucial for playing
Kali as ADC because she transforms her auto attacks from melee to ranged. This new version features ranged basic attacks and a revamped kit centered around applying and consuming stacks of the new mechanic called "Rupture" which delivers burst damage and healing.
