Devour them in seconds - S4 Arachne Guide

Greetings younglings, I see you want to be an Arachne player! My name is Teribleterror, I am currently a rank 10 Arachne main with 4000 worshippers and 6500 kills! I'll be teaching you how to absolutely delete any God with this amazing and extremely underestimated goddess. So what are you waiting for are you ready to get falsely accused of hacking for destroying every game? You are? Great! Keep reading!

Predator


Arachne's passive Predator is personally my favorite thing about her. This unique passive allows her to do more damage the lower the enemies health is and to absolutely shred any God below half health in a matter of seconds, especially in early game. Prioritize using this by using it to pick off low health enemies returning to base or ones that are isolated from their team.

. Venomous Bite

This ablility is what makes Arachne the amazing beast she is, upon activation Arachne's next basic attack will do additional damage and apply a venom that will do a giant amount of damage and HEALArachne 6 times over 3 seconds! I cannot begin to explain how amazing this ability is, in a 1v1 the poor enemy doesn't stand a chance, she does massive amounts of damage and heals her self making it almost impossible for the poor enemy to get away. Applied with a heart speaker at full stacks and watch as they get deleted in about 3 seconds.


Cocoon

Upon activation Arachne's next three basic attacks are executed with increased attack speed and if all three basic attacks hit the same target than the target is stunned for a short period of time. with the increased attack speed you can easily hit the max attack speed of 2.5. The stun is only 1.4 seconds at max level but it's a good time to go around the enemy and body block them as the try to escape.

Web

Arachne shoots out a projectile, while on it she is immune to slows and moves faster. At max range a trap spawns with two little broodlings, if enemies walk through the trap they are slowed and are attacked by the broodings, also enemies who can co invisible re revealed, so no more pesky Lokis! This ablility is what makes her one of the best chasers in the game, hitting an enemy with this web will allow you to catch up to them extremely quickly and stop any chance of escape, the broodlings also do a good amount of damage and can tank shots from towers and minions.
Night Crawler

Arachne flips up onto her infinite web hanging upside down above the lane with increased movement speed, she may leap off the web dealing massive damage in an area, she may also activate Venemous bite and Cocoon while on the web. This ability is an amazing source of damage but she can deal the same amount of damage in a couple of seconds so I prefer to use it as an escape as the cool down is relatively low for an ultimate ability at max level.

Pros

Heal
Great cc
Good escape
High Damage
Will always win in a 1v1

Cons

Mana hungry
No help in team fight
2v1 or more certain death
hard cc is the death of her!

Items and Actives

This build revolves around doing maximum damage in a short period of time with power, attack speed, and penetration!

Start

Deaths Toll
A great boost in the early game, the bonus damage and health is great for tanking more and dishing out more damage, also the extra health and mana restored when hitting basic attacks is great for sustain!
Boots
A decent item just to give you movement speed in the early game
Bumbas Mask
Basic necessity for junglers, bonus damage toward jungle monsters with bonus healing, mana, and gold.
Health and Mana Potions

Core

Warrior Tabi
Basic necessity, movement speed and damage

The Executioner
Great item perfect for Arachne, Power, Attack Speed, and Penetration with a unique passive that increases your physical penetration the more basic attacks you do to a target.

Jotunns Wrath
Power, Mana, Penetration and cool down reduction, perfect!

Qin Sais
Power, attack speed, and a unique passive that makes your basic attacks do 4% of the enemies maximum health

Heart Seeker
Base effects are nice, 30 power, 10 penetration, and 10 movement speed, but what makes this item amazing is its passive, hitting an enemy with a basic attack addd a stack and
at 5 stacks your next ability will do bonus damage equal to 100% of your physical power. Pairing this with Venemous Bite you can destroy an enemy in a couple of basic attacks

Stone Cutting Sword
Nice 50 power spike and bonus movement speed and a good passive that decreases your enemies physical protections and increasing yours with each basic attack, kind of like a mini executioner

Defensive replacements

Breastplate of valor
Great item, cooldown, physical protections and mana
Genjis guard
The magical version of breastplate of valor except you get health and less cool down
Mantle of discord
Can't decide whether you want breastplate of valor or genjis guard why not have both! With 60 magical and physical protections and a 10% cooldown reduction this item is extremely helpful, also it's unique passive stuns enemies around you when you're under 30% health every 90 seconds allowing you to slip away.
