Hello, folks! This is my first guide in SmiteFire! English is NOT my native language, sorry if I make any spelling issue. I enjoy playing with all the Builds listed above, but I've found more sucess with the Bruiser one. Thus, without delays, I present you 
Fenrir, The Unbound.
Check it out my other guides:

I recommend you to listen to that music while reading my guide for Fenrir. Or when playing Fenrir. Or when Ragnarok happens, whatever.
Fenrir is one of the best tanky-assassins( Bruisers) in game, with a lot of tankyness and power if built correctly. Fenrir must do well in the Early-Mid phases to not have problems on Late Game. Fenrir? Good question! You shouldn't simply instalock that god, just because you like him and want to try him out. You need to watch your team composition( that usually doesn't work now, people are instalocking Fenrir a lot). If your team is in need of more physical power, or maybe some tankyness and damage, pick him! On Conquest, Fenrir works as an amazing Jungler, with good ganks pre-5 and pos-5.
Pros!
Unbound Runes Brutalize is known to be ''OP''. Ragnarok.|

SUMMARY Fenrir is one of the most badass-looking playable deities available on SMITE. His skills makes him an amazing Bruiser, Assassin and Jungler. He is one of the Top Tier Junglers, and you probably raged on a Fenrir Brutalize'ing your face. His stats scales him as a Bruiser, but his skillset is of an assassin. That's why Fenrir is so versatile, and you should consider getting him. NOW.

Fenrir is reliant on Auto Attacking. That passive makes Fenrir quite unique: His abilities are improved after 5 sucessful Auto Attacks! Similar to Rengar's Ferocity System, from the game League Of Legends. Unbound Runes. Oh, if you kill a god, all your Runes will be activated once again, so look out for some kills.
Fenrir's escape engaging and disengaging mechanic is called Unchained. It's a leap, that deals damage. As mentioned, it's good to initiate ganks, or just for clearing Jungle Camps. At 5 Runes, the Unchained ability stuns the enemy gods in the targeted area.
Fenrir's self buff. Fenrir howls, inspiring himself with Physical Power and Lifesteal buffs. That ability is extremely useful when Jungling, be aware to pop-up this ability always when possible. I prefer to use it before the Passive, Unbound Runes become up. But be wise, it's situational. You may be about to die, and Seething Howl may save your life in the Jungle. At 5 Runes, the Buff is empowered. Brutalize.
Fenrir. Fenrir is known to be a Brutalize machine, but it's much more than that. Brutalize ''suppress'' Fenrir, sacrificing his positioning to deal a ********on of Damage. At 5 Runes, the Damage is increased and creates a Small AoE. Brutalize and Unchained. Personally, I prefer to initiate with Brutalize. But if the target is low, and the Laner is *****ing about kills, then initiate with Unchained and let him do the rest. Brutalize anymore. YOU will be the one to panic.
Fenrir's Ragnarok. Fenrir is the GanKING( har, har). Fenrir grows, becoming a giant-*** Wolf, fetching the enemy he choose. Perfect for ganking ANY lane. Also useful for engaging, disengaging, capture high-priority targets, etc. Fenrir becomes a walking ultimate late game. The only thing you'll be able to do at this point of the game is, to capture the Squishy and bring him to your team. No, I'm not saying this is bad. But Late Game, people will buy 
Purification Beads against you, and your Ragnarok will be screwed. Ragnarok ends when you bite someone with CC immunity. Be aware of 
Hel's trolly 
Hinder / Cleanse and other CC immunity abilities.
Warrior Tabi
Ninja Tabi if you'd like. I hope you have in mind that Boots does not stack.
The Executioner Fenrir is a Damaging Bruiser, which buys more Power instead of Defenses. Thus, Fenrir can jump on the carry and take him out. Power is always nice, and the passive of this item makes up for it.
Hydra's Lament // Hydra's Demise. Hydra's Lament and Hydra's Demise branches from the same Item. Both of them gives Power and Cooldown Reduction, but have different passives. Hydra's Lament empowers your next basic attack with 175% of your current Physical Power for every 4 seconds, but does not applies items and buffs. Hydra's Demise does applies items and buffs. But the base Physical Power contribution is reduced. I prefer Hydra's Lament, but it's just personal preference, really. Feel free to choose between those two.
Brawler's Beat stick
Deathbringer
Rage // Malice. Malice, which has improved stats of Rage, but without the passive. Fenrir. Specially because of the passive! With it, people won't stop your Brutalize... every 45 seconds, of course. Not mentioning the Protections for both Physical and Magical power.
Qin's Blades // Qin's Sais. Qin's Blades and Qin's Sais can really impact your Gameplay, thus it's important to make the right choice. And I'm here to help! Qin's Blade is good against a Tanky Team, with high amounts of Health. Qin's Sais is better pick if the enemy team is full of Squishies.
Runic Shield? Yes, indeed. I prefer Shield of Regrowth over Runic Shield, unless the enemy team is full of Mages, then you should pick Runic Shield. Why? Shield of Regrowth increases your Health Regeneration when hit by an ability. On Runic Shield, only the Magical Protection is increased when you're hitted by an ability, therefore it won't be useful when facing a Physical Damage Dealer.
Bumba's Mask Healing Potion. It's enough to finish your clears!
Heartseeker
Heartseeker is such a good item if you're leading the game. Power is always nice, and so is Movement Speed, but you're primary buying this item for the passive. Each sucessful minion kill grants you 1 stack; and 2 stacks per god kill, increasing your Power each stack, maximun 50 stacks. Be aware: You lose half of the stacks upon death, so if you die 3~5 times already, it's better to sell Heartseeker and buy something else instead.
BloodForge Deathbringer, but instead of Critical Strikes, you get Lifesteal. I don't like this item a lot, but that's because I don't like Lifesteal in general. If you like Lifesteal, it's worth the purchase. But buy it late game, because that's way expensive.
Girdle of Inner Power.
~ Greatly Increases your Power.
~ The burst of this Active is INSANE. Consider getting it late game, if you get an Open Spot on your Actives options, due the fact your Damage falls off a lot late game, even with the Assassin items.
Hand of the Gods
Aegis Amulet // Aegis Pendant.
Ao Kuang's Spirit's Tempest? 
He Bo's 
Crushing Wave? NO PROBLEMO, use this and you'll be safe! The Aegis items makes you invencible for a few seconds.
Weakning Curse // Enfeebling Curse. Fenrir. ''Curse'' me! I was so wrong. This is good for ganking, must-buy if your team lacks on CC. 
Weakening Curse is better against a team with 3~5 Healers, otherwise pick 
Enfeebling Curse.
Purification Beads
Ares, and sometimes against an annoying 
Ymir.

. Unchained I luv stuns''. Simple: You'll stun then, but there is a problem, they'll dash/jump out and you'll be not able to use your Brutalize. That's why you'll prefer this combo instead. I usually use this combo on game modes such as Arena.

Ragnarok and fetch them to your tower/ally. Brutalize his face. If he manages to get away, use your Unchained and finish off with Seething Howl.
Ragnarok if needed. Try to go for Mages or AD Carries. One more thing: Be aware when using Brutalize on a TeamFight. You'll be following the enemie, so he can get closer to his team and kill you with ease.
Fenrir! Try to convince one of your Teammates to pick one of those in the God Selection.

More Pulls PLS
Chill out man
RAKAKAKAKAKAKA
The Drunken One
Russian Greek Goddess
The Douchebag Fenrir. If you pay attention, most part of Fenrir's friends listed here has a lot of CC on their abilities.
Who said you'll kill me on Ragnarok?
Chill out puppy
Hammer Time!
Someone's getting a bit grumpy.
Rage quit
Eww, arachnids
Fishy Squishy
The Toast of Death. Fenrir. Most of his attacks relies on getting your face close to the enemies'. Also, Cripple hurts Fenrir more than you anything else on the game. But not more than 
Shards of Ice.

Build
I tried the first build. It worked alright. Not much to say here.
Guidance
I never played Fenrir before. I tried playing him with this guide, and I realized that this guide has one major flaw; it lacks any sort of teaching, other than saying, "use this skill here," and "use this when ganking." I think this guide would be greatly improved if you added sections on:
Dueling in the jungle, Disengaging from fights, Ganking, Invading (take advantage of Fenrir's early game), advice on ganking without your ultimate, contesting camps, and most importantly, what to do as Fenrir during late game. You can't just say "ult whenever you can" for teamfights; you need to give other options.
You don't have to make these all separate sections, but I would appreciate even a sentence about them.
Details
Fenrir isn't a bruiser; he's an assassin. Yeah, focused voidblade is a tanky item, but you'll still die the instant you are focused on.
Remove the proof. We don't need it, and it's pretty much useless clutter.
I like the matchups and the level of detail you put in them (And yes, Neith now stops your
I also liked the picture at the very bottom. Family reunions must get really messy.
Assessment
Overall, this guide is good, but in an incomplete way. You need to improve the 'teaching' aspect of it rather than any build or aesthetics. But what you have is incredibly good, and I trust you will be expanding this in the future. Upvote.
Copy that, sir. I realized that the Guide is lacking the gameplay section, as you mentioned. Explaining the game phases and such.
Thanks for the critique, I'll try my best to remove the mentioned flaws.
