Hey all, JiaHaoLaSial here! This is my first ever guide on SmiteFire so please feel free to comment anything i should take note of :)) Well, here it goes!
Ok, so basically, Kali got a remake and I personna;y feel that she is REALLY OP, BUT not in early game.
Kali has one of the highest attack speed after the whole patch, and trust me, she hurts BIG TIME with the build above.
Please DO NOT USE KALI IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD GOD LANING WITH YOU(decide in match lobby) as she will be in a very bad position, usually leading to really realy bad feeding(trust me, i've tried)
HOWEVER, THIS BUILD IS NOT LIMITED TO KALI, ITS APPLICABLE ON ANY OTHER ADC, WORKS LIKKA CHARM!
Pros-
Has a really good late game
Almost invincible with enough lifesteal
Very high damage
Cons-
Sucky in early game, really horrible
Easily killed with enough CC dealt to you
Usually main target as squishy early game
Super, super mana hungry early game
Passive- Marked for Death
A random enemy god is selected as Kali's Death Mark. Kali gains a physical penetration bonus against that god, and if she lands the killing blow, she heals for 80% of her maximum health and recieves a +25% gold bonus. A new Death Mark is selected any time her current target dies, or if Kali dies it is set to whoever last hit her.
Skill 1- Nimble Strike (NIMBLE DUNK!!!!)
Kali leaps forward, damaging enemies in the target area and healing herself for a percent of missing health from the most injured enemy hit.

So here, i will explain why i chose those items in particular
Watchers Gift- See why you need a good clearer? Kali is horrible early game in clearing lanes, so Watchers Gift is a great way to try and catch up on EXP and Gold earned in the lane
Warrior Tabi - The slight boost in attack speed, physical power, movement speed and penetration is essential early game, since she is SO weak
ASIIIIIIIIIIII - This is the main item in the build. Its passive fits really well with her passive, especially when 1vs2+ (trust me) The lifesteal and a good amount of penetration and attack speed is really good for Kali
Qin's Sai- This item, when completed, marks the start of your rampage(still risky though). Really useful against tanks :) Took down a full tank Ymir at full build :D
Rage- Still the best item for any basic attacking god around, no need for explanation here hahahah :D
Bloodforge- This item give the extra boost in lifesteal and its really good especially when its a 1vs2+ situation
Deathbringer - This is just the biggest boost to Kali's crit chance in late game. With this item and Rage, and with enough skills, you could just grab a triple kill in Conquest.
Kali can be an intiator due to her 3 and her 1, however, a quick follow-up is crucial as without any follow-ups, you will be as dead as a Fenrir ulting you into a tower
For me personally, Kali isn't a recommended god to use in Arena (been there, done that, fed)
Also, its recommended to stay passive early game as you are usually the main target for your squishness
Even if it may seem as you are feeding early game, but after the Qin's, you can probably start raping defensively , and after Level 16, you can start on your rampage to victory!
I once solo-ed a Ymir, Xbalanque and Apollo in conquest with this build. Grabbed a Triple
Hope this guide and build helps you in your Smiting Experience with Kali!!

Jk, but @Osjin this guide is 2 years old and is using outdated material, don't comment on relics of the past
the extra second isnt worth in early/mid game
everything else is usefull I have won a ton with this set up and tweak to levels
Build
Inflexible. Watcher's Gift is odd. You also assume that you'll be getting six items.
Items
Very poorly explained. You give awfully generic reasons for using those items.
Skills
You copy and pasted the skill descriptions and don't give a single word on how, when, and where to use them, or how they can be used. That's not a good thing.
Gameplay/Guiding
You don't give a clear idea of what you're doing. Awful.
There is also ZERO ****ING GUIDING IN THIS SO-CALLED GUIDE! *explodes*
Alright, that's not strictly true. There's a mention of initiation, but beyond that, NOTHING! *explodes again*
Details
No coding, bad spelling and grammar. Guide looks ugly.
The pros and cons are decent, at least.
Your title also suggest a sense of immaturity and a repugnant desire for attention.
Summary
This guide lacks so much. It lacks a skill explanation. The items are no better. There is also near-zero info on gameplay, and the guide lacks BBC coding as well.
Easy downvote.
