Introduction

This god is usually played kinda as a squishy mage, with this build your gonna hit about 3170 hp and be able to burst squishy assassins/hunters every single fight. this build is really doesnt trade off any damage for how tanky you are.

Pros / Cons

pros: high damage, high survivability, hard to die, easy to kill
cons: if focused you can still die... thats about it.

Team Work

you are tanky, but don't be the initiator. your health is there in case a wild loki appears or a kali. well or anything that may come across your path

Items

some items can be swapped out depending on the situation, if their whole team doesn't buy any magic resist. there is no need for the obsidion. replace it with a talon, or a demonic grip will be fine.

First and foremost, it should be "You're Kraken Me Up." It's a great joke, but spell it correctly. >:(

The build and skillsequence are fine, so if you put (Build Only) in the title, then it's satisfactory.

However, this gives far too little information to be considered a guide. At the very least, to be considered a guide it should have a section on when and how to use his skills, as well as how his playstyle changes and the game progresses.

If you add more information, make sure to check out guides to BBCoding, getting started, and general guidelines for guidecrafting before publishing again.

Make sure to apply the various BBCoding you may learn as well, such as combining the centering tool with an icon to create:






<Info about when and how to use this broken skill>.
