Important to rush for Trans a.s.a.p. to get the stacks early on.
3 potions of each gives you enough sustain to stay in the lane until you can complete Trans.
Build Trans before you get to your boots.
Asi is very important for the sustain and additional pen and attack-speed/power. Jotun is important for the CC, but also for the damage and pen. Crusher gives you enough attack speed when combined with Asi, also good extra pen.
Soul Eater might not work on Kaldr, but the 3 (Permafrost) heals you very well. Brawler is obviously necessary when you face gods with high life-stealing or healing.
Heartseeker is always a very strong final item, it is the perfect item for Skadi, as it is THE ability-based item.
Get your 1 to 3 or 4, then start getting Kaldr to 2 or 3m then your 1 should get maxed, after that max Kaldr, your 3 comes last.
Always upgrade your ult when possible.
Tap each threat level to view Skadi’s threats
Also more skill required to beat a Cupid, with his dash and stun ability he can deal a lot of damage, whilst also dealing a heap load of basic-attack damage.

She is the most threatening ADC to Skadi, because of her basic attacks going through everything, this makes Kaldr his tanking useless. So you need to be more skilled by a bigger margine than the Izanamai player.

Another strong ability based ADC, with his jump he can knock you up and then stun you with his combo abilities. Overall a fight against him will be even.

People often build Skadi on attack speed and crit, I personally find this to be a wast of potential. I will give a simple but complete guide on how to get carrying as Skadi almost every single game.
Using Kaldr to the fullest extend is very important. Early game you have to use him to distract the enemy ADC by sending Kaldr at him or by blocking his basic attacks on the minions with Kaldr. Even against an Izanami you can still push the lane in your favor.
Upgrade your 1 (Piercing cold) to level 3 or 4, then get Kaldr to 4, then max your 1, then Kaldr and only then start upgrading your 3 (Permafrost). Each time you can upgrade the ultimate you should do it.
Skadi is not a boxer, but one of the most massive burst damage dealers in the game. If you can make Kaldr dash at the enemy after having hit your 1, when Kaldr is about to die throw your ult. You can also gank with your ult on mages or hunters, right after that throw your 1 and then your 3, then they 're most of the time already dead.
Use Kaldr to get passed towers if you need to or to tank tower shots.
When he has all 5 health points and the enemy is weak and hiding under the tower, you can send Kaldr at him, let Kaldr dash or bite first and then go full on attacking. As soon as Kaldr damages the enemy he will tank the tower shots.
Having some attack speed and life steal is important, because with the ability based items your basic attacks will murder tanks, so it is nice to have about 1.69 attack speed at least.
Try to manage Kaldr his health well, if you can do not let him get killed temporarily, that will leave you exposed.
Use your 3 (Permafrost) to destroy assassins. When a total horror of a basic-attacker like Bakasura or Arachne wants to gank you, all you need to do is to stand on your 3 and harass them with Kaldlr, your basic attacks and your 1. Skadi is the ADC, who is an absolute terror to assassins if her abilities are up.
To summarize it, use Kaldr actively, build on burst damage and try to gank a lot.
Thanks for your time!
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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.
