- Arachne's not the greatest with crit, due to her attack chain...not saying she can't do good damage with it, but typically
Qin's Sais is a better build direction for her. When building crit, it's typically also better to get 
Deathbringer as one of the items, which is not standard and only suggested as an alternate to 
Shadowdrinker for some reason.
- She has healing in her kit. You might benefit from getting maybe 1 more lifesteal item situationally, but you've currently got
Death's Embrace, 
Soul Eater, 
Serrated Edge, and 
Bloodforge in your kit. Any anti-heal is going to significantly counter all of those items to a decent degree.
- Embrace's passive triggers on basic attacks. That means you want your base AS to be pretty high. You've only got 1 AS item (
Demon Blade), which means you're not getting much out of Embrace.
- Speaking of starter item, Arachne is most commonly played in the Jungle, if we're talking Conquest. If not, you should identify which modes this build is for. Suggest going with
Manikin Scepter, 
Eye Of The Jungle, or 
Bumba's Dagger as your standard starter, with the first 2 probably being suggested more than Bumba's. If you get Manikin, probably suggest selling it late.
You're best sticking with the tried and true build style for now. As a single-target god w/ no AOE abilities outside her ult, you'll find a lot of good early utility inWith her attack chain, she gets a lot out of
Where possible, go for more AS items, and again, probably not crit. Ata might be an interesting late-game item for her after getting a god kill to go after another, and Dom is another thing you can consider for anti-tank purposes.
Build order would likely look something like:
