Full Build Example 1

Notes Generally this is the build i end up finishing on. Gives you just enough cooldown to not worry so much along with heavy hitting power items.

Transcendence is currently still the meta and also gives skadi the mana pool early game to spam skills to a reasonable rate.

Bloodforge can be substituted out for another power item if you prefer it over the sustain.

Introduction

First of i would like to say i do not claim to be the best with skadi but i do have a good understanding and main this character a lot including within ranked and have a high performance using the above builds.

I welcome constructive criticism and hope you all enjoy trying out this build, there aren't many of us skadi players these days and she is very viable in majority of situations.

Pros / Cons

Pros



-Great chase capability (Movement speed buff with ice + Kaldr)
-Early pressure in lane
-Great AOE Stun for late game team fights

Cons


-Basically no form of escape
-Hard to master
-Has a lot of counters

Pros / Cons

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.
