Build Summary

Starting Items and Relic

Notes Starting the build with Manikin Scepter to later upgrade in Manikin Hidden Blade. Then Mace to upgrade after boots in Jotunn's Wrath or Brawler's Beat Stick too counter healing. The idea here his to rush Damage Buff enemy side put your Vision Shard get back to your Speed Buff and easily do it alone with Manikin Scepter while your two teammates doing your Mana/Damage Buff. As for relic always build Purification Beads first if heavy CC like Fenrir Ragnarok if not go Blink Rune. Aegis Amulet his optional but can be pick vs bursty god like Scylla I'm a Monster.

Da Ji's Skill Order Notes Leveling: I always max Horrible Burns first then One Thousand Cuts. Put level in Paolao each time you can it worth leveling for the extra dmg. You level Trickster Spirit last mostly because you want to use it as an escape on minion or teammates early on.

AAC: Always try too AA - Horrible Burns - AA too maximize your poke with Hydra's Lament

One Thousand Cuts While this ability is channeling you gains 40% increased Movement Speed, immunity to Slows and Knockups, gain mitigation up to 40%. So, keep in mind that’s a great escape ability or chase.

Paolao you can cancel after the first shot on a god to quickly grab and catch them off-guard without giving them the chance to Purification Beads

Extended Build

Core Items

Notes As discussed in the starter build you will do Speed Buff alone at the start of the game and you need a jungler starter to do it faster and I think Manikin Scepter provide you the best early lanning afterward. The best upgrade in my opinion at level 20 will be Manikin Hidden Blade. Da Ji is a great Auto Attack Cancel god (AAC) for me Hydra's Lament his core on her. Serrated Edge Serrated Edge my favorite items in this game… give you everything you need on an assassin in my opinion, stacking it with Da Ji will be pretty easy.

Full Build Exemple and Situational Items

Notes This is pretty much my standard build. Always build Warrior Tabi normally, I can see myself build Reinforced Greaves if they have 3 damages dealers. You can swap Jotunn's Wrath for Brawler's Beat Stick for anti-heal and then swap later The Crusher for Jotunn's Wrath. You can swap The Crusher for Heartseeker if they have 2+ tanks. Sell boots for ether Mantle of Discord or Spirit Robe depending on the amount of CC after buying Elixir of Speed.

I think due to Da Ji's reliance on AA cancel's and lack of sustain, Bumba's Hammer might be a better build path for her.

Also I wouldn't recommend The Crusher so late into the build, Heartseeker would be more optimal in that slot.

I agree that Bumba's Hammer a better upgrade. But if we keep in mind its joust, Bumba's Dagger got weak lanning stats compare to Manikin Scepter. Most of the time in joust you don’t even reach level 20 too upgrade. In my Note I explain that you can swap The Crusher for Heartseeker in case of 2+ tanks. The Crusher will do more damage vs a standard 2 squishies due to flat penetration and since the game last less longer it’s a nice late power curve to end the game.

That’s my joust point of view of thing, would like to hear your thoughts

Thanks for giving me the feedback

Oh that's my bad dude, I didn't see that on the title :P

If we're talking Joust then I recommend this build, it may seem weird however;

Bluestone Pendant > Warrior Tabi > The Crusher > Hydra's Lament > Pridwen > Shifter's Shield > Swap Bluestone for Void Shield > Swap boots for Ancile / burst item

This will give you great early burst potential with the stacking bonus damage from Bluestone, Crusher, and your 1, Horrible Burns. Then once you get Pridwen online and transition into more bruiser items you become more of an ult bot with some prots for survivability. I would go for Bluestone Brooch however because it isn't likely to reach level 20 by the time you get to that point it's more efficient currently to sell it.
