Lastly, in a lot of situations, it’s better to max your 2 before your 3, because if you went bloodforge, your power is already exceptional, and the MS and penetration will outshine the 200 extra damage from your 3.

Also Asi is overkill on the life-steal, since you already heal from abilities, combined with Soul Eater heal is crazy. If you hold Caduceus Shield (Asclepius Rod for physical) your ability healing will be extremely high. Asi is good if you’re going a Basic Attack build, but in that case you shouldn’t be getting bloodforge or soul eater, probably a Hydra’s Lament instead.

Decent Guide Bro. Some tips for improving: Hastened Katana is overkill because you get 60% MS on gods 40% HP or lower, so Haste is not necessary. If you build Bloodforge first, then go into soul eater, you will see a huge spike in your damage early and it will give you possible snowball potential.
