Playstyle

The playstyle for Kali Is more unique than most junglers. Your levels 1-9 are the weakest and are filled with lashing the wave and farming the jungle for golden blade and crusher. Once your into the mid game you can start making plays for the enemies jungle and buffs, you cn also start ganking mid and adc lanes on the cool down of your blink. In most situations you need your blink to successfully gank. In the late game you want to get the kill on your target to reset your health, then attack your next target and so fourth. And if you get super low then you would ult to get a last 2-3 kills. That is the Guide for the playstyle of Kali, I hope to see all the new Kali mains on the battleground. And I wish you all the success I could.

Pretty sure i'd rather run Stone Cutting than Golden Blade on Kali, also your build path delays Qin's and Haste for too long. Should be going Starter > SCS > Haste > Qin's > percent shred / pen > Obow

Thats fair, I think just from playing on pts that golden blade is the best replacement for boots. And this is just my idea of a good build and I personally see success. I enjoy Kali and this is just what I think is good. I will take your input into consideration thought for future guides on Kali!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
