Anubis' capacity for life-steal is huge due to his multiple AoE abilities and high damage output and his passive. Bancroft's is the opening selection to give Anubis some sustainability. Beyond that, the build is purely power/penetration with the added CDR from Chronos'.
Shoes of the Magi
Bancroft's Talon
I personally prefer to SotM over SoD, for the reduced protections passive; however, the SoD adds CDR which is a huge perk.
Spear of Desolation
Spear of the Magus
Chronos' CDR is incredibly helpful since Anubis' basic attack is pretty worthless and his only form of escape is to slow using Grasping Hands and casually saunter away.
Chronos' Pendant
Go with RoT for raw power or the Doom Orb to get a boost to movement speed since Anubis has no escape. The GoI can add another stack of slow onto your abilities.
Rod of Tahuti
Doom Orb
Gem of Isolation
Pythagorem's will offer some additional CDR, but Typhon's Fang is a perfect complement to Anubis' passive.
Pythagorem's Piece
Typhon's Fang
Anubis' greatest weakness is escaping. These relics provide some help when you need to bail on the battle.
Heavenly Wings
Aegis Amulet
Blink Rune
Purification Beads
These items are pretty standard. In the early-game you'll need to supplement your mana regen. The Potion of Magical Might is a cost effect boost for mid-game damage. Wards are critical to ensure you don't get ambushed since Anubis has no escape abilities.

Anubis is high-risk/high-reward type of god. His abilities allow for large burst damage on wide areas and controlling enemies movements; however, he is very fragile. He relies primarily on life-steal for sustainability, but if you can maintain awareness of your enemies and avoid getting into a close range brawl, Anubis can control any game mode.
Anubis' primary combo takes the form:
Grasping Hands -> Mummify -> Swarm of Locusts
Grasping Hands slows enemies, making it easier to land the Mummify stun and still damaging the stunned enemy. Swarm of Locusts closes out the combo with high damage, but can be swapped with Death Gaze if available to hit even harder.
SORROW
All of Anubis' abilities steal Physical and Magical Protection from the target and increase his Healing obtained from Magical Lifesteal. These effects stack on every tick of Anubis' abilities. Sorrow also grants Anubis an additional 30% reduction to all Crowd Control durations.
Protections Stolen Per Stack: 7
Increased Healing Per Stack: 33%
Duration: 5s
Max Stacks: 3
PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS
A plague of locusts bellows forth from Anubis' mouth, smothering all enemies in the area and doing damage every .5s for 3s. Anubis is immune to Knockback while channeling.
Damage per Tick: 35/50/65/80/95 +40% of magical power
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds
Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100
MUMMIFY
Anubis fires a bandage projectile, mummifying and Stunning his target.
Stun Duration: 1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0 seconds
Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 seconds
Mana Cost: 60
GRASPING HANDS
Anubis calls for help from the underworld as hands penetrate the ground and claw at his enemies, doing damage and Slowing every .5s for 2s.
Damage per Tick: 25/40/55/70/85 +35% of magical power
Slow: 25%
Radius: 20
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds
Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110
DEATH GAZE
Anubis focuses all of his energy into a piercing gaze, doing damage to all enemies in the path, every 0.1 seconds for 3 seconds.
Damage per Tick: 23/28/33/38/43 +15% of magical power
Cooldown: 90/85/80/75/70 seconds
Mana Cost: 90
Pros:
-High Area Damage
-High Burst Damage
-Great crowd control
-Bonus penetration/life-steal
Cons:
-Low movement speed
-No escape
-Stun is most difficult ability to land
These two builds focus on making Anubis a dangerous offensive weapon. Landing his abilities and utilizing his penetration/life-steal boost means high burst damage and sudden health regen, but if you can't land his abilities, you'll be stuck relying on his weak basic attack and limited movement speed. Your style of play should build around ambushing unaware enemies or initiating the attack with your crowd control abilities.
MUMMIFIED
As Anubis stun 15 enemy gods using mummify in a single match.
WHERE AM I?

If that's what you want to do (create a guide), go for it, and I'll read and comment. I personally would suggest against making a guide if you're that new, however, if you don't fully understand builds, build order, and other things. There are a good # of guides/builds that are in the similar position, where people share their builds but they end up not being good, for specific reasons.
For the time being, I'm going to offer (and do before you even approve, lol) to write up a decent amount about Neith and building, and explain why you choose things in specific orders. I'll use Kriega1's Neith build comment area to do that. Look for it shortly.
Regarding
Often, though, when you go for items with CDR, you'll tend to lose out a bit on other stats. But especially in teamfight modes like Arena or Clash, being able to use your abilities and ult often are extremely helpful.

Literally, the only time I would get both is if 3+ gods on the enemy team are building 3 or more magical defense items (very unlikely).
