The main weakness of this build is fighting against CC-immunity ( Magi's Cloak, Purification Beads, CC-immune abilities).
High burst, but not much CDR so you may be a bit predictable. You want to try and farm as much as possible for this build so you can start being relevant, especially since you need to stack Shaman's Ring to get the evolved version that works well with Rod of Tahuti.

Divine Ruin or Toxic Blade may be necessary in some matches. I don't recommend Toxic Blade in the same build as one that has Hastened Ring, as you lose out on too much damage.
Typhon's Fang should only be bought when Bancroft's Talon is present, and the item gets countered hard by anti-heal.
Soul Gem doesen't provide much, but it provides the occasional burst proc with it's passive which can be stacked with constant usage of Time Rift. I would consider it only in an ability based build.
Ethereal Staff is a bruiser option if you want to be able to reduce tanky targets health while also gaining some of it to have a bit more health.

Wheel of Time. Wheel of Time, though the fourth section can get good use as well. Stop Time / Time Rift combo) whenever using a build that has some sort of attack-speed focus in it. Chronos excels lategame via his high auto attack damage from Accelerate, whether it’s for structures, objectives or enemy players. Time Rift to poke the enemy Mid if you have already cleared the minion wave (though you should prioritise farm, including mid xp camps and red buff), unless you go a low sustain start (in which case be conservative with your mana and avoid taking poke in lane, as otherwise you may have to back which will allow the enemy mid/jungle to take the middle xp camps and possibly invade red buff). Wheel of Time helps to reduce his massive mana consumption in the early stages of the game until you have an item like Book of Thoth or Soul Reaver or Warlock's Staff online to help with any mana problems. Use the first section for health sustain when you have finished clearing a wave and need to regenerate lost health. Mage's Blessing is generally the best starter for efficient wave clear in the early game, and allows for good ability poke damage. Hunter's Blessing can also be an acceptable starter due to Chronos’ slightly higher auto damage early game than other mages, allowing him to harass (using basic attacks) mages' with unsafe early clear, though this is a starter better utilised in the carry role. Shoes of the Magi is my standard preference due to it's flat penetration which is useful for early game damage. However, Shoes of Focus can also help with early mana sustain and provides a small but useful amount of cooldown reduction, and works well with Book of Thoth and Book of the Dead. Chronos' Pendant lategame on Chronos himself as a lone cooldown reduction item, or pair it with Spear of Desolation. However, you don't necessarily need 40% cdr if you can one-shot people. Hastened Ring can be acceptable as your only Attack Speed item in Mid role if you prefer Obsidian Shard to Demonic Grip. If you do pick up the ring, I would only recommend getting it earliest at third item or later to use it to its full potential where Chronos' secondary function as an ADC becomes strong after having a high power item/ high power in his build. Demonic Grip is perfectly acceptable in the Mid role due to Obsidian Shard generally being more prioritised in burst builds. If there are two (or more) tanky frontliners (e.g. solo, support, possibly hybrid/tanky jungler), then you could get both. Soul Reaver can help with draling damage to tanks as well. Celestial Legion Helm or Dynasty Plate Helm if you face a Physical Jungler that you feel poses a big threat and/or a Physical Mid laner with a good early (e.g 
Ullr), however there are other options. For instance, I would get Winged Blade instead for some health for general survivability and to counter gods with slows, e.g. 
Nemesis when she uses 
Divine Judgement. Magi's Cloak is also a good pickup against heavy CC team compositions or Assassins/Junglers with global ultimates (e.g. 
Thor), though Mantle of Discord can fulfill this role suitably as well and can also be good for anti-burst. Wheel of Time. Try and avoid being pressured early game, go with a Guardian with good clear such as 
Ymir , 
Khepri , 
Ganesha , 
Sylvanus , or go with a Support Warrior such as 
Erlang Shen for a safer early game (otherwise you will have to play quite passively if you are out cleared and out pressured in lane).
Ward nearby jungle routes and try to split push when it is safe, but don't look for fights if you are underleveled. Hunter's Blessing as it will make his auto attacks in the early levels (1 to 5) hit just as hard as some hunters, though with this starter your waveclear will be slighty worse with abilities. Generally, I recommend this starter for Carry role. Mage's Blessing is an okay choice here as you will be using your abilities to clear the wave in the duo lane with some mana leftover to either take your own teams buff camps or steal the enemies. Demonic Grip is typically core on Chronos in the Carry role since Obsidian Shard doesen't offer attack speed, and is more expensive. Hastened Ring is a possible (but not required) option in this role so you can chase enemies with hard hitting auto attacks when your Accelerate is active with its passive movement speed, but isn't that good early game. Typhon's Fang is an okay lifesteal choice IF you pair it with Bancroft's Talon , be mindful though of the fact that the lifesteal from this combination can be countered very hard by anti-heal. Spear of Desolation will also improve your poke and structure damage due to its combination of cooldown, power and penetration at a price that isn't too offsetting (Though you can replace this with something like a Divine Ruin for antiheal – which is typically the case in a lot of games, Telkhines Ring for auto attack damage etc...). Chronos here, you're going to be focused on surviving the hard pressure in the solo lane against primarily Warriors or some Guardians, a few Assassins and a few Mages. When playing Solo against high pressure gods (like most Warriors), avoid getting in close proximity to them in the early stages of the game and make sure you clear the wave from a distance. In this role, Chronos cannot frontline, so hopefully you planned your team composition around this pick. Warlock's Staff soon is important for health as Chronos has a low health pool as a mage and stacking it is rather long, although it will help counter Warriors later on, especially ability focused ones. Alternatively, you can get an early Pythagorem's Piece instead. Time Rift can be used to poke the enemy Solo laner in between minion waves. The stun from Stop Time is also incredibly useful in interrupting some Warriors primary clear , e.g. 
Nike and 
Rend, giving you a good lane advantage, or you can use the stun to prevent a warrior harassing you in close range. Chronos' Mana even with Mage's Blessing, due to the solo lane having more encounters between minion waves. And finally , buy Wards after your first trip back to the Fountain, as unexpected ganks from the enemy jungler can be excruciating to deal with, especially if your first relic when playing Solo is 
Teleport Glyph instead of Aegis Amulet or Purification Beads. Mage's Blessing to prioritise waveclear (as im usually not going to play too aggressive into high pressure matchups) as it allows for efficient, fast wave clear in the early game to avoid taking too long to clear the wave (which may open an opportunity for the enemy Solo laner to either bully you in lane or steal your mana buff). It also allows for decent poke damage as well. You could take this starter if you know the enemy solo will have awful waveclear, and won't put up much pressure in lane, or if you're against a mage in solo.
Warrior's Blessing is a safer option that is helpful when laning against enemies like 
Ne Zha and 
Set, where you can still box them in lane without getting pressured too hard, e.g. like with 
King Arthur, a matchup which would maybe necessitate the pickup of 
Guardian's Blessing. Purification Beads should be your essential first relic against a Mid / Jungle / Solo / Carry with a devastating CC ultimate (
Chang'e, 
Hun Batz, 
Fenrir, 
Loki, 
Chaac, 
Amaterasu, 
Xing Tian, 
Neith, 
Medusa, etc.) as it can allow you to quickly use your ultimate when you would have otherwise been affected by Crowd Control - Rewind, besides being a source of renewed Health, Mana, and ability cooldowns, is very effective for getting you out of sticky situations and possibly relocating you out of danger. Aegis Amulet as your first relic against a Mid / Jungle / Solo /Carry with insane burst (
Skadi, Zeus, 
Thoth, 
Vulcan, 
Hercules, 
Odin, 
Cabrakan, 
Susano, 
Rama, 
Poseidon, etc.) as it can allow you to negate damage after or before your ultimate, or allow you to avoid using your ultimate to save yourself. Teleport Glyph as your first relic, but I would rather take Aegis Amulet or Purification Beads in most cases. Purification Beads or Aegis Amulet instead, with an edge given to Purification Beads if you are otherwise undecided. Bracer of Undoing is not a good item when you're facing against anti-heal. Odin, Phantom Veil may have to be picked up to counter 
Ring of Spears instead of Aegis Amulet or Purification Beads (usually substitute Aegis for it). Though this should never happen since your support (or solo) should pick this up versus Odin. Keep in mind that if you've been on the move, your Rewind can also get you outside the ring. Blink Rune isn't too bad either as an alternative to Aegis Amulet as it provides opportunities for initiation or escape. Purification Beads and Aegis Amulet.

Demonic Grip seems to be a more CORE choice on Chronos (in any role) since Obsidian Shard doesen't give structure damage anymore. Any of you Chronos players out there that aren't too keen on Basic Attacks, well it's time you improve those, although you can decide to use the ability-based Mid lane build I list. Elixir of Speed and an offensive/defensive item of your choice that you think would make sense in your match, although I do list some important considerations in my build notes. Hastened Ring and Polynomicon in the same build, especially in an ADC build. They do not function that well together as they both require high Power from other items in the build to work to their maximum potential. Polynomicon uses high Power to make the damage from its passive stronger (More Power = Better Scaling), and Hastened Ring needs some form of high Power in the build to make up for the loss of damage (compared to other item choices) you sacrifice to utilize its passive effect. Polynomicon to burst mage builds or buidling it if you're ahead, but would not get it in most ADC builds (unless as a very late option). The only way getting both Polynomicon and Hastened Ring in the same build would be decent, is if you're in a very long game that grants Chronos a high amount of magical power from his passive 
Time Lord, which can make up for the DPS losss from getting the two items, as the passive grants 125 magical power after 50 minutes. Time Rift for poke damage on enemy gods when the wave is not around. Try not to spam it too much early game though or you will run out of mana quickly. Ward around the Jungle areas to your Lane after your first trip back to the fountain (or subsequent trips if you do not have enough gold on the initial back). Stop Time on the enemy to stun them before you use Rewind so you are not killed during the windup. Thor , Set and Susano , which may make it a very unenjoyable role for him.

k, thanks. will test those out when i get the chance.
Edit: On 2nd thought I tried it in a recent game and I quite like it with cdr boots and dynasty early. I updated the builds anyway.
The only reason i ask, for situations like i had earlier, when i had locked in and no one went guardian/warrior. yeah, not something i was looking at wanting to run but maybe help a bit when no one chooses tank and i have already locked in.
yeah, sometimes i don't feel like being responsible when a bunch of strangers aren't. I just want to play my choice. lol. Thanks for the tips.
Also, having played so many in your face melee types, it is a struggle going..wait...just because i am running his auto based doesn't mean you just walk right in every time..i mean my brain knows this but i am slowly weeding that out on him.
as an example i saw a dmbrandon vid for bellona that was 1 1/2 hours. i would just search online and have results come up and a lot of the ones that happened to come up would be way longer than i was willing to get into.
So, bancrofts, pen boots, breastplate, talisman, divine ruin, obs shard.
Can start warrior's blessing and tiny trinket.
Or another example, pythags, pen boots, celestial/dynasty helm, shogun's kusari, gauntlet of thebes/witchblade, gem of iso. (supporty-style build).
Edit: Or, pen boots, dynasty plate helm (or celestial legion helm), stone of fal, witchblade, ethereal staff, mantle of discord.
Edit 2: I guess if you wanted to put yourself through pain for the most optimal tanky build you could try build warlocks, so using one of the solo builds I listed on Page 3 or one of the ones I list in the testing builds.

Thank you for the additional thoughts on that, Kriega. it is greatly appreciated. I'll definitely take a look at those options for when i run into that situation. I never would have thought to ask but i saw so many defensive options in some of your item lists.
Probably could swap thoth in that build for soul reaver, seems to still 1 shot if I remember correctly.
Right now speed is OP, so I didn't mind going shoes, into the rings, into Bancroft late.
Situational
Only reason I got
But you could very easily build him more of a standard mage-type early and just nuke with your 1 a ton...transitioning to more basic attack function late. Here, I'd probably suggest something like this, and Kriega can suggest adjustments as necessary.

Man, quick response. Good on you, old chap. Thanks for laying that response out so quickly.
Also, i already love your first build idea. when i first started and was lvling Ymir and tinkering with
Deso can be okay, but for Ob Shard, you're already going Demonic, which should typically be more than enough for most enemies unless you're going with the more ability-focused direction, and you're facing a team of majority tanks. I'd then say same for Reaver, but Tahuti is fine in the 6th spot in the basic attack build if you're doing well.
We can keep debating this, and I'll keep saying the same thing, because I'm talking situationally, AND giving reasons, and you tend to ignore that and just focus on me bringing it up in the first place.
I do what i want!
Well, in khepri's hades guide you made it clear you wouldn't want my popcorn anyways :p

Edit: Mid: A, ADC: A+/S-, Solo: B+.
I'm divided when it comes to
I don't think Warlock's needs a buff, but they definitely could reduce the number of stacks required. 70 would be fair.
I don't think I ever build Warlock's on
It does, but it also improves his lategame as well, which as we know is where he's strongest. It's not a core item, no, (at least for Mid/ADC), but it still can be a useful consideration. Also you spend a lot of time farming, so building the stacks shouldn't be hard. Alternatively, for Mid lane, you can start tier 2 bancrofts, rush bancrofts, get pen boots online and then get warlocks and start stacking it.
As for ADC, if you want to be stronger in the early to mid game you can just rush bancrofts/pen boots/Dynasty Helm.
Also certain matchups like
And.... I have included 2 alternative build paths for Mid, and 1 alternative to ADC if you do not want to build
Im not sure what your point is here.
I'm just saying that I found this start interesting, because the few times I played Chronos I went for Warlock's first item, and I really missed the sustain from lifesteal. Going
Oh, indeed at times they can still work in Arena, but if Arena was the focus, certain item choices would be more attractive, and others less attractive (e.g.
KREE-guh? Kree-eh-guh?
Boogie pronounces it the 2nd way, and it honestly drives me crazy.
Boog...
Also im not sure what you have to do to intrepret Kriega as "Kree-eh-guh", you're literally inventing extra syllables.
Also, Kriega, I only found out about this about a week or so ago. If I'd known way earlier, I would have disassociated with him before he became my illegitimate (and impossible) son, since there's no way I could be his father with our age difference.

Once a muffin man has a muffin boy he has to make sure that muffin boy grows up right after all....
On lvl 1? No. But on lvl 2, a lot of times.
Yes, I had, but it’s so rare that I never found it a disadvantage.
Yeah, and that is a bit of an exaggeration, just found that meme a funny way to present how i think about Conquest right now. it is pretty overwhelming though hearing other people talk about it and having been roped along for a couple of matches previously having almost no knowledge of the game at the time.
I know part of it is random group comps but even joust is a headache sometimes and i ran with Muffin, Boogie and a couple others from here on 2 or 3 clash matches and was pretty out of my depth on that currently on those.
If i can ever get the time to devote to it I might try to seriously learn, but Arena, and to an extent Joust is in my match length sweet spot. I really can't commit to regular lengthy matches most of the time.
