Note 1: In that 4th/5th item slot for burst mage builds you can go either
Soul Reaver into
Charon's Coin/
Obsidian Shard or
Charon's Coin/
Obsidian Shard into
Soul Reaver for build order (I usually prefer
Soul Reaver first). If you use the passive well on your god then you can get
Obsidian Shard over
Charon's Coin, also it's tier 2 item (
Spell Focus) has 10% pen on it. Or, if you have no MP5 in your build once you sell
Mage's Blessing (e.g if you went double flat pen build and didn't pick up Tahuti for instance), or if you use the movement speed well (on evolved version), or just want the cheaper option then you can get
Charon's Coin instead. Usually I get
Charon's Coin over
Obsidian Shard as of current.
Note 2: When
Elixir of Speed and 7th build item is mentioned, that means (lategame) buy
Elixir of Speed, and then sell your boots/shoes and buy that 7th item once you have enough gold for it. Do not sell your boots until you have enough gold for that item (also remember that selling boots gives you some gold).
Note 3:
Aphrodite,
Hel,
Chang'e,
Ra,
Baron Samedi,
Olorun can all use
Lotus Crown to some extent (with the item likely replacing one of your flat pen options or to be considered as a 6th / 7th item), as well as
Rod of Asclepius (although I would be more hesistant to build it on
Olorun). Do note though that
Rod of Asclepius passive does not stack with
Caduceus Shield's passive.
Note 4: General situational defensive items you can build:
Magi's Cloak,
Mantle of Discord,
Winged Blade,
Breastplate of Valor,
Sovereignty,
Relic Dagger,
Spirit Robe,
Bulwark of Hope,
Spectral Armor. Would substitute for the less necessary damage items in your build (so not your main percentage pen like
Soul Reaver or bulk power items etc...).
Stone of Binding could also be considered as an early bridge item on some mid laners who appreciate the protections and can reliably proc the passive.
Note 5: For the "Double Flat Pen" builds, you can choose to get
Divine Ruin either 2nd or 3rd.
Note 6: In "Chronos' Rush" builds, if you need early anti-heal / an early
Divine Ruin you can also opt to use the "Double Flat Pen" start, going Shoes (Magi or Focus) >
Divine Ruin >
Chronos' Pendant in build order and then continuing as normal.
Note 7: While standard relics in Mid tend to be
Purification Beads and
Aegis Amulet (or
Magic Shell instead of Aegis into certain matchups / team comps), on some characters in some matches you can consider going
Blink Rune instead of
Aegis Amulet if the god you're using can get away with it as an offensive relic and uses it well in fights (though it is more niche / risky and would only really be ideal if you're familiar with the character), the main examples being
He Bo,
Scylla,
Chang'e,
Janus,
Anubis.
Note 8: The
Shoes of the Magi rush Mid start.
https://youtu.be/rxlfSNV5_jo?t=110 (Watch from 1:50 to 2:30)
How does it work? Well in the video linked above, at the start of the match you see Trelli waiting in fountain for the exact moment he has enough gold to buy
Shoes of the Magi. He then rushes to Mid lane, using the fountain speed boost to get there quickly, and approaching/hugging the outside of the Speed Camp wall so he still get's some assist XP so that when he clears the first minion wave he will still hit level 2. With this start though your mana sustain early will be a bit poor making you reliant on your solo laner getting an early Totem of Ku.
From here you can continue into whatever build path on whichever god you're playing, e.g. a early
Chronos' Pendant or a
Bancroft's Talon (in the lifesteal build). You can also use this start to get
Warrior's Blessing on your first back (as opposed to starting it level 1 to the detriment of your early clear), useful on some mids like
Hera,
Zeus and
Ra.

Agni Note 1: If you're playing Agni in ADC/Duo lane (with Hunter Mid) use the "Bancrofts Rush" build with the Mage's Blessing start.
Agni Note 2:
Staff of Myrddin only procs on him if you use all 3
Rain Fire bombs.
Agni Note 3: I don't value
Obsidian Shard that much on him since
Noxious Fumes can proc the passive effect which isn't ideal in a lot of situations.
Agni Note 4:
Soul Gem seems to be currently not working as intended on
Agni and proccing more times than it should when
Combustion is applied on a ability (e.g.
Rain Fire) hitting multiple targets.

Isis Note 1: Generally by lategame / full build, you don't want more than 20% CDR from items in an Isis build, because her passive
Funeral Rites at max stacks gives 10% CDR, and you get the last 10% needed to reach the 40% cap from a
Potion of Power.
Isis Note 2: In the "Bancroft's Rush" build, you can also go for an early
Pythagorem's Piece instead of
Bancroft's Talon, in which case I would always use the
Mage's Blessing starter option.

Also I was wondering in what cases would you go alter from the Chronos' Rush for either Doom Rush, Double pen rush or BoT rush? Or is it just preference?
Im not a personal fan of it, but the main point of it is for the early power spike, and you still hit level 2 from first wave as long as you reach outside speed wall quickly before the camp is killed using the speed boost. And it's kinda totem reliant for early levels 1 to 5 mana sustain.

Flat Pen rush is the general build used right now, Chronos' Rush is pretty good for certain gods and for farming, BoT rush isn't very good except on certain gods (e.g. Kukulkan) or if you're running the Thoth + Breastplate build and don't value the movement speed from Doom Orb on that god, though Thoth early is a meh power curve until it's stacked and you have 1 or 2 mana items online like Reaver or Poly.
And also, Nox's silence is instant, and I believe may be just a bit wider, whereas Isis' 3 takes a moment longer to activate. They're different things, with different functions.
It's possible she might be better in Supp than Mid but you generally see aggressive supports right now.
I dont like new penetration system overall. But time'll shows whats best ı guess.
