Basically This build is focused on critical hits while holding W+M1. IDK what i was doing while testing this build but holy cripe it worked.
So as a starter why hunter and not warrior's blessing? I did mention that this build focuses on diving and only basic attacks and hunter's blessing is exactly that focuses on basic attacks DMG.
Ninja tabi for obvious reasons.
Trancendence early so you could improve it for later.
Pridwen for a quick shield when you go dive and go blasting.
Bloodforge for good dmg and good chance for survival after a kill.
Wind demon so you can slice and dice even faster and better (and also to increase your critical hits). And also the start of the 2 items that will grant you good Crit Chance.You probably guessed which is the last item and yes is ....
Deathbringer God almighty isn't that the most broken critical chance item (you could also swap him for Rage but buy it early since it takes time to evolve that item)
Very late game switch your tabi and buy Qin's sais so even tanks won't be issue. Just don't forget to buy yourself elixir of speed before that.

You'll need to modify the build order a little bit for non conquest but the items should mostly be the same
Ninja, Hastened, SCS, Exe, Qin's, Mantle, replace Ninja with whatever.
I like your build, and think it's better for a balanced enemy team. But you lack sticking potential since you don't have hastened katana (but it's not a problem if all you're doing is boxing)
Has something changed in thoughts on arena with this item? When i first started everyone would tell me that it needed to go in late game and i would see that mostly as well when i'd be looking at different warrior builds for gods when i'd take a look.
Okay, thanks for the info, i guess you were not in on the discussions i saw when i first started lurking.
I had the same doubts believe me. Shifter shield CAN work late game (just like blackthorn) but you get more juice from the squeeze early game.
And depending on god / build, it also depends on how much pen/protection reduction you've built in. Power isn't going to be all that important on a warrior or guardian with generally good base damage but little scaling, and in addition, without the support of a high pen build, that power means a lot less as well. Even a squishy god at level 20 with no protection items is going to mitigate 25 or higher % of incoming damage (for example, a squishy with 60 natural base phys prots will mitigate almost 40% of incoming damage).
So just keep those things in mind with regard to
In this build concept, which is full damage, the power would definitely have a more significant impact...but then the question again becomes, are there items you might like/want more?

Yeah tinkered with a Chaac build with it 3rd and had a decent match. I started pretty strong but because of some heavy lag i had out of nowhere i didn't get to honestly assess the build performance. I was looking at doing some tinkering with it on Bellona as well. Others I was thinking it would work decently on depending on build i was thinking might be guan yu(although i don't play him, sun wukong, and cu chulainn(might give him another run sometime)
But given those options, they're all technically better for pure offensive potential.
It also provides either 15 phys prots, or 50 phys prots and 35 mag prots. But there are other items that provide better prots out there.
This is truly a bruiser item, and so you're going to sacrifice one thing or another when you go for an item like this. It has its benefits, and the level of prots will do more for you earlier than later, but if you're late game and you just need a bit of an edge with some slight bit of added survivability, this can help some.
I'd say it's stronger function early but again, you're going to sacrifice something either way.
It's got high power, which is great anytime, but early game, you're also looking to get some core items online. You need your standard boots/shoes, and if you're going for damage, you often want to build some flat pen. Other options might include CDR.
Granted, the prots early can definitely help counter low enemy pen. Again, to me, it's in a weird position, and I don't really prefer it early OR late, but I know there are plenty of others that find value in the item.
- Completely missing penetration of any type. If you're going for a basic attack build,
The Executioner is core to get through enemy protections for both squishy and tanky gods.
- The only protection item here is
Pridwen. However, Prid benefits from higher overall protections as the shield and explosion scale off of existing prots. Basically, your build is the opposite of synergistic for Prid. The "quick shield for when you go dive" isn't doing much for you because you haven't built enough other protections to get a strong enough shield.
- I'm curious if you're familiar with how attack progressions work, what Ama's attack progression is, and how crits work with them. Suffice to say, building crit on Ama is stunting your damage potential.
I can see almost any build working against inexperienced and low level players. This won't work, and you'll be absolutely blown up against more experienced players.Ugh, please don't give DV-8 any ideas...
