This is my primary build for playing left lane and jungling for maximum team support with Arachne. I use this in PUG's (pick up groups) so any 'skilled' enemies could change these tactics dramatically. I leave my skills on auto level so skills listed may not be accurate.
Start the game, buy Warrior Tabi rank2 and 3 health pots and move out ASAP! if your lane partner is good you can usually get by with 1 or 2 health pots at the start, but since I PUG a lot I usually buy 3 :). (life is like a PUG, ya never know what your gunna get) head to the inner left Blue spawn and lay 4 eggs before minons spawn (1 on the right of the camp, 3 on the left, so when people come over to 'spawn' your eggs prematurely they hear one open, and think they fak'd ya :P after that they usually walk off, if not they usually die a poison dot death :P) let your spiders tank the mobs while you kill them, they should last most of the way through all the minons there. I usually join the lane at this point since jungling isn't as exp rich as it used to be. With unlimited mana use your eggs every time its up to kill minions fast and push the fight to there tower but try to time it so you use it after abilities that will kill them which is just about anything, even ymir's freeze at level 1. if your facing a ranged enemy who shoots them before they hatch you can stand in front of them assuming you can take the hits, which will make all your minions attack them instead of the other minions, and that can be helpful.
Towers will target you when ever you damage a god like even if its just a 'poison dot tick' ability that triggers it, no mater if there are minions to shoot or not so be careful when attacking the tower. I usually try to remain hidden when ever I'm going for buffs, so you don't get jumped mid fight, so don't let them see you run into the jungle if you intend to try and grab the green, it will usually end badly for you. at this point I usually push the lane harder, and try to get a tower down if possible while I wait for the blue to respawn. if you get a break in the action call back and finish the boots and pick up the devourer's gloves (I like the gloves because the life steal when stacked is higher then the soul eater but either one will work end game). As I come back I usually drop an egg at the blue to watch it as I lane and wait for repop. Then repeat the process.
once your up to buying Golden Bow you can usually start farming the gold fury when ever she is up to give your team a gold boost (you can obviously do it earlier with some effort, but its usually not worth it). At this point I am usually a full time jungle ganker. I usually wait till I have full Deathbringer and a full stack of Devourer's gloves buff to farm the fire giant, but kill him when ever you can, but obviously don't lead the enemies to a half dead fire giant, its bad mojo ;P or kill him when your team is dead, since they wont get the buff. late game after I have bought all the gear I listed I'll usually get a creeping curse. I rarely rush headlong into the fight unless I'm there to pull someone out to the team/tower (but I miss 60% of the time :P see Ultimate Challenge). I usually try to attack from a side, when they are not expecting it, and were they are vulnerable. In team fights people usually set up in a set formation, tanks in the front, healers in the middle, damage in the back/mid. I usually tend to focus on the best damage, as they are usually the squishiest. Pulling a tank into a jungle with a few waiting eggs usually ends in an Arachne death and lots of "LOL" from your team and theirs :P
At this point I start placing egg's as Eye's to track movement in the jungle around buffs or busy intersections but at level 10-12 you can start using them to snag you buffs when you don't want to walk over there again :P since 2 eggs will clear a camp by themselves (depending on your attack power).
Arachne's Ultimate is kinda tricky to get used to. You have to be 98% accurate with it, if your off 2-3 pixels you missed, gg :P. it also has about a 1 sec travel time (its shorter then that but seems like forever when your trying to hit someone) so you have to anticipate where your enemies are going to go, nice when anubis drops a circle and they only have 3 pixels to 'run' away with, but its usually best to pull them into other gods abilities rather then using them as a pull 'helper'. a good combo is pulling people into Artimus's traps, who can then have her trap off cooldown and drop another one after that one breaks, that kills anyone 100% of the time (assuming they don't have an escape to use). it's best used right AFTER someone has used a travel ability to escape, like cupid's flutter, or Odin's leap. Most people after using these abilities to escape don't strafe much (rarely) so if you line up your shot you can usually get you a hurting enemy who has NO escape and that's usually a kill. Same with her Web, but the travel time is much higher, 3-5sec?. so if your trying to slow someone down shoot way ahead of them, if you aim your circle with them on YOUR side, by the time it lands they will be 75% through it and will probably get away before anything can really stop them, moar anticipation!
That's mah guide
