My suggest is change this "hypercarry" in pros to "high damage". By Hypercarry you mean the god can easily take 100-0 an enemy health/destroy easily any objective and in both cases Vamana can't do the job well. Yes, he has damage, but not as much as a true hyper carry as Kali or Chronos late game.

Not sure why you’re building Ninja Tabi on Vamana, something definitely wrong here.

Because he's got a focus on basic attack function rather than abilities or hybrid. CDR items are only listed as options rather than core. You'd probably want the AS over the 20 higher power (which is honestly not that much), especially if you go deeper into offensive focus with something like Stone Cutting Sword. I don't see this as being a horrific item choice...not like he's building DB or something.

I don't think I'd ever call Vamana a "late-game hypercarry," especially with these example builds that have 0 pen and multiple protection items...leave that claim to the true hypercarry glass cannons like Chronos and Kali.

The builds look mostly good though. Has a clear focus on basic attack function with sticking power ( Hastened Katana), counter-building (Pest, Mystical sorta, and Nemean), and sustain ( Berserker's Shield).

Looks to be aggressive and in their face early, hence the focus on health sustain with Healing and Multi potions and an early Berserker's. There are good item options with some pen (Void and SCS) and other situational protection items...though I think the one that is missing here is Oni Hunter's Garb. Masamune might be another functional option.

Big problem I see is that no late-game options are presented to replace Berserker's Shield, which, as nice as it is, is still a bridge item.

Another concern is health. The first build example has 0 added health. Protections are fine and important for a Solo (and a jungle 'mana), but adding actual health as a stat is important for overall effective health and survival...with an early Nemean for physical and Spirit for balanced protections, a late Bulwark of Hope might be appreciated in place of Mantle of Discord in that example.

But his 5.23 buff means he's going to definitely be more difficult to kill, particularly when he ults, so maybe that'll be enough. I dunno.

In any case, with no replacement for Berserker's, can't recommend the builds at this time. Would like to see just a few more item options and a true final build example or two.

Beserkers can just be swapped for void shield or Masamune, if Masamune boots can be sold for stonecutting.
