How the heck do I build Serqet?

I bought the Demonsoul skin for Serqet since it was on sale and looked amazing, so I started playing her. I don't know if i'm building her wrong or playing her wrong, but I feel like I can't do enough damage to kill someone a lot of times, even if i do hit them with her ult. Any tips, please?

Hi duskfang,

Well, I can give some basic direction, based on her kit. It might help to give feedback if you provide an example of a build you use.

Firstly though, I'll point you to:

This guide by newbiemj (general guide with good tips, but not specifically designed for Conquest)
This guide by xRyan201 (who states he mostly plays casual Conquest)

You can probably pull some good information out of both.

So partly, build will depend a bit on which mode you play (e.g. extra movespeed isn't a priority in non-Conquest modes due to less need to rotate), but there are some core tenants you should keep in mind.

She is an ability-based god. This means on the damage side, you'll want power, pen, and CDR. Core non-crit items would be Warrior Tabi and Jotunn's Wrath.
Her Deathbane can hit a target 3 times at closest range, and it can proc crits (when built), so crit items (usually Malice and Deathbringer) are commonly used. Why Malice instead of Rage or Wind Demon? Because, as a get in/get out god, her damage with its passive DoT provides nice damage enhancement.
She's got high mobility, with 2 abilities that can create distance (or help her catch up to a fleeing enemy). So if you time things properly, you can build very high damage (squishy) for max kill potential.
But she doesn't mind having a more defensive item or two depending on the situation and amount of CC on the enemy team. You can consider something like Shifter's Shield or Masamune situationally.

For Conquest in particular, she definitely can use added movespeed from aggressive items like .

Anyway, hope that helps get you started! If you have other specific questions, let us know!

Good information regarding builds by Branmuffin17.
Following up on Bran's tips, you'd be looking at a build that would look like this (this is an example):
, , , , , .

You could add a second defense item if you feel it's needed, such as or even if you are relatively confident you can get it stacked.

Playing is all about her combo. is hard if you can't successfully pull it off, but once you get the hang of it, she's a pretty safe pick.

The combo would go as follows:
(2) -> (1) -> If available (4) -> Basic attack To activate the poison applied by your 1,2 and 4. -> (3) To get out of harm's way again, or, if the target isn't dead yet for some reason and it can be done safely, to finish off the target.

This combo should be able to 100-0, or close to that, any squishy god.
Once you get this combo down and get a good build together, she'll be much easier to use.

Note: The build we're giving is just an example. Once you get more experienced you should look into counter-building and have the ability to adjust builds on the fly to counter your enemy as much as possible. (e.g. Brawler's Beat Stick to counter healers like Hel or Aphrodite.)
