I do not claim to know everything about playing Bakasura, and I am pretty new to it myself; however, I am putting this build up here because it has worked for me many times before. This is my build for Bakasura and I hope it becomes yours too! :)

This build is not meant for only 1v1s! This build is a overall decent build for Bakasura, and can be used in any game type.

All tips are welcomed and appreciated and will be consulted and tested in Ranked/Casual games.

This build is a Work In Progress and will be updated frequently.

Upon entering the first few seconds of 1v1 Joust be sure to get Deaths Toll and Boots along with 2 Health Pots. With this start you are probably saying "Wait! I still have 300 gold left! What do I build?!" Well this extra gold can be used to buy a stage 1 for your actives if you so need them. If you feel you do not need/want a tier 1 active then feel free to buy more potions or save up for whatever you may need.

After leaving the base be sure to go towards the Mana buff. Getting this Mana buff is the reason why you do not need mana pots early on. Remember to Eat the big minion when he is bellow 35% health to regenerate that lost health from fighting him.

Ichaival - This item is very nice when starting off early in the game; however, to use this item to its full potential I only get it if fighting another physical non ranged god (Assassins / Warrior)

Soul Eater - With this items recent Buff I have found that it works really well on Bakasura and it definitely helpful if laning against someone with a high damage poke with its Health and Life Steal. I usually get this while fighting Hunters!

Transcendence - This item is not safe to start with! You should only get this Item if you get a very early kill! If you build into this item and keep dying in fights it will take you a very long time to finish it and move onto the next. Get this item if you are already ahead of your opponent.

Dev. Glove - This item is still good on Bakasura however with Soul Eaters buff it has kinda taken a second priority to Soul Eater and Ichaival, and they are usually better in the long run early game.

All that are listed Below are counters that i have personally lost too or struggled with while in a Ranked Game. I know all of these can not be banned but I recommend banning the ones you believe you may struggle with or find frustrating.

Red = Countered
Yellow = Struggled

Counters:
-Chang'e
-Aphrodite
-Ah Puch
-Freya
-Bellona
-Chronos
-Loki

I have no idea why but Chang'e and Aphrodite have blown me away in game. It comes down to the fact that they both have an ability that doesn't allow them to take damage for a short while. Since Bakasuras ult is just True Damage and a Cone shaped Basic Attack Range this is a counter to his ult almost making his ult useless if they time it right.

If Fighting a Assassin!
-Ichaival
-Warrior tabi
-Hastened Fatalis
-Hide of the nemean Lion
-Rage
-DeathBringer

If Fighting a Warrior!
-Ichaical
-Warrior tabi
-Hastened Fatalis
-Qui's Sais
-DeathBringer

If Fighting a Hunter!
-Soul Eater
-Warrior Tabi
-Hastened Fatalis
-Hide of the nemean Lion
-Rage
-DeathBringer

If Fighting a Mage!
-Dev. Glove
-Warrior Tabi
-Hastened Fatalis
-Ancile
-Rage
-DeathBringer

If Fighting a Guardian!
-Transcendence
-Warrior Tabi
-Hastened Fatalis
-Frostbound Hammer
-Qui's Sais
-Odysseus Bow

Being in lane as Bakasura can be a little frustrating. Even though the enemy god may clear the lane better than you do all is good. Take your time with clearing the wave with you basic attacks and if the poke damage is getting too intense or you feel you are gonna get poked a lot be sure to eat a minion and get some extra protections and health from the minion while also building your ult.

If you can actually clear the wave faster than your enemy be sure to pop you 3rd ability and get off as much poke damage as you can or you could just save you 3rd for a more appropriate time.

Remember to always use your 3rd ability before ulting for more true damage!

Ancile - Okay although almost no one used this item ever I find it quiet good in 1v1s and amazing if going against a Mage or Guardian. With its Stacking Power and Cooldown this will help you use your abilities and ult more often.
Get this if you are fighting a Magical based God

Breastplate of Valor - This item (Although it is getting a Nerf) has super high mana increase, physical protections, and Cooldown reduction and should always be bought if you are fighting an Assassin, Warrior, or Hunter.
Get this if you are fighting a Physical based God

That is really it! This was my guide for Bakasura in 1v1s!

I hope you find this useful and will use it in your next 1v1

Until next time!
