So this is the updated build for cernunnos. I could not get him to really be a big influence on early game but this build is destructive it will eat any physical protection away like its nothing. Enjoy the build and let me know if u have any updates for me to try out. This build crits at 800+ against anything thats bot a guardian or warrior they get crit for 500 if they have high physical protection.

Charged bow and not odysseus bow? Please look over your builds again. Remove that single crit item. Not enough crit chance to make use of it.

Srry I have not shown cern a little more love been playing with other gods I'm back to update though

Sorry, but I still can't recommend this build. Cern is an AA hunter, not an ability one, so he doesn't need trans.

Alright, so here are the points I wanted to make earlier before my phone ate them:

As Kriega pointed out, you have no boots. I understand you say you don't need them for arena, but you really do; without boots, you're limited your chase and escape potential. Sure Cernunnos has his Horn Charge, but that isn't enough movement speed when it is ready; when it isn't, you're a siting duck and can easily be bursted down. Grab Ninja Tabi for the extra mana and AS.
Silverbranch Bow is still **** even with the "extra" power by overcapping attack speed. Go with Ichaival instead and sell it late.
As Kriega also pointed out, just having Deathbringer is a waste because you're relying on a very small (25%) crit chance. When you go crit, you want at least 2 crit items, if not three. At least grab Rage before DB if you're going with crit.
Frostbound Hammer isn't needed because multiple slow affects have diminishing returns meaning that they don't get added up and applied. Plus the little extra power and health aren't really that useful.
Blessings aren't really useful in Arena. If you're really set on using a blessing, get Hunter's Blessing instead of Attacker's Blessing. By the way, AB cannot be used in Conquest.
I don't think Cern really gets much use out of Transcendence. It can be useful if you're going into a Qin's Sais build without crit, but I would still go with Devourer's Gauntlet for the extra boxing potential.
In relation to the above point, either go with a qin's build, or crit; don't combine the two. Crit needs power and a bit of AS while qin's needs AS. Use the former if the enemy team is mostly squishy gods that aren't building protections, while the later is good for a tanky team that is building extra health and protections.
Odysseus' Bow is for a qin's build, not a crit build. For crit I'd go with Jotunn's Wrath or Titan's Bane depending upon the enemy team composition. That or 3 crit items, boots, The Executioner, and a situational item like Magi's Cloak or Mantle of Discord.

I'm sure Kriega will come by later and point out all of the flaws in my post, but I hope you understand the points I was trying to make.

I had a nice writeup but the forum lost it. Anyway, this is still a bad build and my vote isn't changing.

Troll build with no boots. 1 crit item (that isn't even Rage). Odysseus' bow and silverbranch in the same build.

New build going up for the update crazy damage and crit

No boots ( 4th doesn't replace the need for MS) is tough. 1st is not very effective...% pen is best in the middle to late part of a build, while flat pen is better early...as such, would be a better option early, with Exe late.

You definitely deal a lot of damage in the build, because you've got very high power items, but I think item order could be improved, and I still have concerns about no boots unless you're just playing this in joust.

I play this in areana no boots is concerning at first but i found ex comes in handy a little more plus running it early game with Autumn decay for a good damage boost and early kills but i will look into changing the buy around and see what i come out with

build working well for me. even stronger in end game.KD finally looking goood.

Glad to hear its working for you and yea end game the build eats through any physical protection so notma ny gods can box with you enjoy

I run a similar build to this but my build is

Transcendence > Ninja Tabi > Crusher > Wind Demon > Bloodforged > Deathbringer.

Tested your build its good for the squishy enemies but dose not do much to guardians or warriors with their physical protection i built this in mind of having to cut them down as well as escape assassins and other hunters i would test different items in wind deamons place just because he hits hard enough with summer and autumn that the extra crit chance isnt need
