Izanami's Skill Order Notes Spectral Projextion is important to get first to complement her auto attack and help farm early.

Make sure not to use sickle storm when farming. It prevents her sickles from traveling through enemies.

Fade Away is a versatile ability for retreats and ambushes. However do not put yourself in a hard spot using it as an ambush.

Dark Portal has good range and works well as a finisher on fleeinf enemies. Additionally it works well against mages mid battle to give the edge needed to win 1v1s.

Base Build

Notes I know Toxic Blade can be considered a situational item. However it is a well rounded item that wont break the bank as a first item purchase. Additionally it will be the first item to be replaced later in the match. The main reasom is that it gives Izanami Physical Penetration early to utilize her passive. Actual Physical Penetration can be hard to come by.

Shifters shield can be replaced by or used in tandem with Bulwark of Hope if Magical protection is desired. Additionally Berserkers shield can replace it as well if a more aggro style is desired.

Build Item Bloodforge Bloodforge
Build Item Berserker's Shield Berserker's Shield
Build Item Qin's Sais Qin's Sais

Defensive Additions

Build Item Bulwark of Hope Bulwark of Hope
Build Item Spirit Robe Spirit Robe

The strat with this build is to utilize Izanamis passive ability with life gain and health triggered passive abilities.

After completing the initial build and purchasing your six items go back and sell toxic blade for a more advanced attack speed item like Qins Sais.

Similiarly once you purchase the speed potion replace your Ninja Tabi with a well rounded item like Fail Not.

If magic preotections is of concern Bulwark of Hope can replace or work in tandem with Shifters Shield. Additionally Berserker shield can replace Shifters Shield if a more aggressive approach is desired.

The meta has changed quite a bit, so this may not be the most optimal build, but I would go with something like: Leather Cowl, Ninja Tabi, Devourer's Gauntlet, Fail-Not, Rage, Deathbringer, wind demon. Toss in a Shadowsteel Shuriken if you need anti-heal.

If you're going with Qin's Sais, then drop all of the crit items and instead go with something like: Leather Cowl, Ninja Tabi, Devourer's Gauntlet, The Executioner, Dominance, Qin's Sais, Odysseus' Bow. Toss in Toxic Blade if you need anti-heal. Upgrade the cowl to Hunter's Cowl in both cases.

Gulf, that's too much crit and not enough pen still. With Cowl, 3 crit items max, or you could get away with 2 if you have Rage. With Ornate Arrow upgraded from Gilded Arrow, you can easily just get 2 crit items freeing you up for lifesteal and 1 or 2 major pen items.

On the Qin's side, Gilded Arrow upgraded to Diamond Arrow can be nice, and if you build enough AS, you can fit Silverbranch Bow in. Maybe something like Gilded Arrow, Devourer's Gauntlet, Ninja Tabi, Qin's Sais, The Executioner, Silverbranch Bow, upgrade to Diamond Arrow, replace Tabi with Odysseus' Bow. Or instead of Exe->Silver, grab Dominance and then The Executioner, and replace Tabi with Silverbranch Bow. I don't even know that I would bother with Toxic Blade, your damage is going to completely outwork any healing.

Another option would be to fit Berserker's Shield in...you could do that after Dom or before Qin's.

You shouldn't really build around Iza passive.

Her passive is only really proccing at a higher amount when you're low on health. And when that happens in a teamfight you're likely dead anyway. Plus the build only has 10% pen which isn't enough, and when your 1 isn't up you don't really have much attack speed to utilise qin's well either.

You need More % pen in your build, without % pen you will do no damage to tanks, you shouldn't rely on taking damage in order to start dealing damage.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
