Start just with the Assassin's Blessing and Katana for an early power boost. More mana consumables than heal consumables because your 1 will heal you once you hit level 2.
Assassin's Blessing
Katana
Healing Potion
Mana Potion
Blink Rune to start out with lets you jump on people while ganking for some early picks. Second relic is situational.
Blink Rune
Aegis Amulet
Purification Beads
Magic Shell
Max out the boots on your first trip back since it's a cheap Attack Speed and Power boost as well as the useful Movement Speed. Once you have your upgraded boots, revisit the Lighted Blade and upgrade it to the Golden Blade to spend less time on camps and more time ganking. Rage is some cheap, high Critical Strike Chance but needs to build a few stacks so building it kinda early is helpful. Bloodforge is a must-have as it keeps you in the fight and lets you chain kills while your Venomous Bite is on cooldown. Deathbringer rounds out your crits, giving you a total of 70% Critical Strike Chance.
Assassin's Blessing
Golden Blade
Ninja Tabi
Rage
Bloodforge
Deathbringer
Hastened Katana is what I usually go with since it lets you keep pecking away at tanks who may be slowly running away or allows you to chase squishy enemies a little longer.
Hastened Katana
The Executioner
Obviously, you need to buy an Elixir of Speed to keep your Movement Speed Up. For your Boots Replacement, you want to build something with a little penetration so you can stay on top of tanks and do a little more damage to them. Stone Cutting Sword is good option to build you more power, as well as a little bit of in-action protections, but the Serrated Edge is a percentage based penetration so it may be better in your situation if enemy tanks are building lots of protections, which is more likely than not.
Stone Cutting Sword
Serrated Edge
Ichaival
Atalanta's Bow
Toxic Blade
Shadowsteel Shuriken
Witchblade
Brawler's Beat Stick
Jotunn's Wrath
Berserker's Shield
Shifter's Shield
Caduceus Club
If you are REALLY chasing people down and playing hyper-aggressively with your ult, then Arondight is a must-have as it lets you chase down enemies with a movement boost AND power boost.
Golden Blade
Rage
Bloodforge
Deathbringer
Arondight
Hastened Katana
Maxing out Venomous Bite early lets you easily sustain while jungling and helps keep you alive when you gank early game.

I thought Auto attack Arachne was better off with attack speed, qins, and penetration?
Anyways, I'm just a casual player who plays with this build and wanted to see what people think of it.
- 0.5 progression hit w/ crit: 100 damage
- 1 progression hit w/ crit: 200 damage
- 1.5 progression hit w/ crit: 300
Getting a crit on a hit with a progression of less than 1 starts essentially nerfing crit damage.This doesn't mean it can't still be effective...damage is damage. But there are other reasons to consider when deciding to go crit vs. Qin's:
- As opposed to crits, progressions of < 1 directly BENEFIT Qin's, as the Qin's passive does the same damage no matter the speed / damage of the hit.
Arachne's AS steroid is very, very short/limited. Having a high base AS is great for her overall DPS.- When building crit, you typically have to commit to 2 or more crit items. When going Qin's, it allows for more build flexibility.
- The Katana tree is just so strong for her. Besides
Golden Blade being essentially core to make her camp clear viable, she is just so strong with SCS, Katana, and Serrated is basically the perfect item for her, as she'll pretty much always use all 3 abilities in any engagement.
Preference for me is strongly against crit due to these factors.I can agree that hitting crits is very satisfying. But I also have a personal issue with inefficiencies. I struggled building Exe + Titan's in earlier patches, and have a rule that I mostly never build crit on gods that have progressions < 1. (That said, I did crit Loki more recently to the detriment of Gulf's sanity and I do admit it was fun)
One thing I will say with your main build progression is that I feel it lacks pen. Instead of BF, I would suggest considering Serrated at this point, for the % pen and lower price.
I'd probably avoid
