Having a ton of trouble with Bastet

Hi everyone who reads this. Well, I decided I wanna move away from mages and start leveling an assassin. So I chose Bastet :). I'm an experienced level 30 player with one diamond so I don't need help on the "basic" basics, but I would like to start with the basics on Bastet. Builds, gameplay, when to go in(which I am horrible at) how to apply early game pressure and still stay alive and builds. Multiple builds such as full on assassin, bruiser, lifesteal incorporated, etc.

Thank you so much :) my ign is ARL3N and I am a PC player.

Well my guide can help you on the basics, as well as Prisms and a few others.

I definitely have the "when to go in" part down, and how to do it.

Just gank when they are pushing or in the middle of the lane, or a low health god.

I love me some Bastet! Her ability to stay alive early thanks to the double jump is amazing. As for when to go in I typically wait until the enemy is pushed beyond halfway up their lane while also being sure my teammate in whatever lane has the health to pursue, since bastethe isn't likely to 100-to-0 someone right away. My favorite target is either a midlane since that's usually a squishy mage so start trying to get an early gank there...especially if you're against zeus or kukulkhan or anubis or whatever. I like to jump in from mid harpies, hit declaw into into cat call then i jump out. If my cats don't finish the kill hopefully my teammate will (that's why I say you should be sure your teammate can pursue before you commit.)

For builds...start with , lvl1 boots, pots, and wards. Do your camp rotation etc. Unless an enemy gets aggressive you probably shouldn't try a gank until you've backed once or hit lvl5...or both. For boots I like and then second I like to go . It has a bit of everything but best is the 25% cdr which Bastet needs as an ability based assassin. From there you can really do anything... is nice for a little protection and it maxes your cdr if you picked up jotunn. Some people like transendence which isn't a bad call. Those four items make for a nice core with a lot of power. isn't popular but I like it over if the solo laner is a magic god and you still have the cdr.

The last two items should be penetration items. Brawler's beatstick is amazing on bastet, and if you split push, which Bastet excels at, you might even want to buy . If you use cat call to take tower or pheonix aggro, bastet with this build will absolutely ERASE an objevtive. If you don't like then works too.

If you don't want or for third item and you think 25% is enough cdr you can get for good well rounded defense or you grab transendence here instead and maybe have a spot for crit later in the game.

Alright I got this... time to release my patented build to the world.

Purchase Order: , , , , ,

The goal behind this build is to be able to dominate the early game, and harass the late game.

Pretty much use your situationally, if you can get in without using it, always save it. Depending on the god you're up against you can use it as a burst or chase.

Once you go in there are two pathways you can take depending on the kind of god you're up against, if you up against someone with an escape, make sure you save either your or Declaw so you can prevent a withdrawal. If you're not going up against someone with an escape, just be smart. If you're up against a with his ultimate still up, you may want to save to escape the radius, if you're up against an you may want to save Cat Call until his burst is used up. as long as you play smart generally you can slow and harass most enemies into submission.

In generally you're always going to want to start with either or Declaw on your target to apply Wound and get the increased damage on your

Just be conservative, play safe, do things, and win.
