An Update : After listening to Big Damage and Kriega1 I used the new Scylla builds given to me. Double Digit kill count in pretty much every game. Thank you very much for helping me out :D

That's really good to hear, in your own time I hope to see the change reflected in your build soon!

First off a small error I have noticed that needs to be fixed is an impossible skill leveling. At level 8 there is no skill entered at all and it should be in the order 8 - Sic 'Em, 9 - Crush, 10 - I'm a Monster.

I can tell from your build that you enjoy having lifesteal, however for a build to be optimal with lifesteal (although not recommended on Scylla) building Book of Thoth is just not necessary. Yes a lot of power is nice but your main focus when building burst damage mage's will be flat and percentage penetration. Penetration is what makes all of that power you're building actually have effect, and also to note that flat penetration (the +10 from Spear of Desolation is much more useful against enemies which have less protections such as mages, hunters and assassins while percentage penetration (the 10% from Typhon's Fang) is more useful against tanks like warriors and guardians.

So my main point to improve your build would be to focus on either lifesteal or penetration. Not just building Book of Thoth and other high power items to try and reach 1000 with your passive because it's a bit overkill. As I mentioned earlier I can tell you like the lifesteal hits while playing her so I would recommend trying this:

Mage's Blessing > Bancroft's Talon > Shoes of the Magi > Spear of Desolation > Typhon's Fang > Spear of the Magus / Divine Ruin > Obsidian Shard / Charon's Coin > Replace boots with Soul Gem / Staff of Myrddin

This will give you good healing capabilities, with a nice amount of penetration and still a lot of power with also a better power curve than building Book of Thoth.

However for a true high damage Scylla build I would try using one of Kriega1's builds below. Or just using the examples to apply to your own play style, keeping to the idea of building penetration with the items we have both suggested.

If you have any other questions I or someone else will be glad to help, welcome to the site!

Also I'm flattered you named your arena build after me;)

The skill order is possible. He is point skipping so he can lvl his crush and ult on Lvl 9.

Ah I didn't see the notes, I keep forgetting it has been added. Although he never put the 5th point in was my main notice.

Aah thank you for the assist. As for the skill levelling, I had to write in the skill notes that I do the Scylla level skip thing, where I dont level up at 8, and then level up crush and my ult and 9 for the passive boost early on. I will change my build up with this new knowledge, I just always had friends who built Scylla this way, and whenever I did it it worked for me. But thank you again :)

Where in the build would you put it? Switch out the extra flat pen? or build 3 10% pen items with Soul Reaver and Typhon's Fang being 2 of them and skip Obsidian Shard or Charon's Coin? I know it's a good item but it is possible to make a build that works without it.

Where’s Soul Reaver, Magus and Divine Ruin? And only 10% pen? What is this? (You do realise that Scylla annihilates squishies late even with a tank busting build? That’s why you optimise builds towards killing tanks on mages).

Suggested build 1 (conquest):

Start: Mage’s Blesssing, Magic Focus, 1 Healing Potion, 2 Mana Potions.

Build: Shoes of Focus / Shoes of the Magi > Divine Ruin > Spear of the Magus > Soul Reaver > Obsidian Shard > Polynomicon > buy speed pot and sell boots for Staff of Myrddin.

Suggested build 2 (conquest):

Start: Either Mage’s Blessing + tier 1 Book + pots OR Book of Souls + pots.

Build: Shoes of Focus > Book of Thoth > Divine Ruin > Soul Reaver > Obsidian Shard > Spear of the Magus > buy speed pot and sell boots for Polynomicon.

Can use either of the above builds for arena, but start tier 2 shoes instead and skip Blessing, and either no pots or just 1 Of each.

Also if you didn’t need antiheal you could try out: Book of Thoth boots magus poly Reaver Shard and sell your boots for Typhon’s lategame.

Thank you for the build help! Im gonna try this out with the new knowledge :D
You guys both helped me learn about mages, because I always thought the more power the better, but completely forgot about penetration.
