Awilix, a very ability heavy assassin, I was wondering if there are any assassins that could potentially benefit from a more unicorn style build (minus the 
Devourer's Gauntlet since you won't be building stacks unless you're soloing) rather than a crit build. I'm not sure if this has been done to any degree of popularity, but I feel that assassins that are more ability focused might benefit a lot from this type of build (perhaps 
Fenrir, 
Bastet or 
Loki). After running it on Awilix (swapping out Devourer's Gauntlet for either 
Bloodforge or 
Jotunn's Wrath) I found that it worked out quite well.Any thoughts?
I honestly think that a Unicorn build wouldn't be beneficial to ability based gods, such as batz or thor, because Krett designed the Unicorn build to utilise the strengths of Qin's Sias, so heavy attack speed + pen so Sias gets enough damage off.
Note the Unicorn build is typically:
->
Building attack speed and Sias isn't particularly good on Ability based gods, since they aren't AA as much. It is better to go with pure power and pen, and only build AA if you are very far ahead.
I understand what you're saying with this, perhaps
Even the most ability based assassins need some basic attacks to rely on, so I could see a build with

it mostly depends on the type of assassin you have because on

Not exactly sure what you're asking in regards to
I do have to say though, even though it relies on RNG, the crit build does have one advantage vs the unicorn build on assassins who primarily use basic attacks, even without a critting ability or passive. Every time you attack with a penetration build, you will do the same amount of damage. This will give you consistent ganks, which can be a bad thing. If you don't have the attack damage to take down an enemy with the unicorn build, then this will always be the case. You will consistently be unable to take down enemies with your attack power. With the crit build, when you attack, your damage varies far more. This means that while one battle may yield almost no crits and no kill, another may yield a lot of crits and a quick death to your opponent. While the unicorn build is more consistent, if it consistently performs subpar in a certain context, you will never secure any kills. With the crit build, as long as you are able to escape from bad encounters, you will eventually get a lucky encounter and be able to secure a kill.
I typically find this to be better on gods such as
''Rather than a crit build'', but crit items like
