Hello, My name is WolfxEyes and i'm back again with an Arachne guide.
Please excuse my grammar, incase i make some mistakes. My native language isn't english.
I have played on and off around the time when smite came out of beta. 1 year later i kept playing every single day since i made great friends. I mostly play joust and siege, and rarely play clash, arena and conquest. So if you're looking for a Conquest build,This MIGHT work but i never tried it out in that game mode. So use it at your own risk.

Arachne is my best goddess by far, I loved playing her trough the seasons and kept adapting to see what she needs in order to improve her kill potentional.
She's really scary in the hands of someone who knows how to play and build her.
And thats why i want to show her some love with this guide.

In my opinion, theres no point in leveling your ult because its mostly used as a cc immune escape rather than for damage. If I were to reorder the skills, I'd max her 3 first for jungling, then her 1, then her ult, then her 2.

Another thing I like to do is rush The Executioner item 2 because it works so well with her passive, from there I get jotunns, qins, rage, and def.

I dont like runeforge because arachne is a 1v1 assassin, and buying that item hurts your dps overall. You can get rage for the same price, proc it constantly because of your attack speed, and have an overall better time to kill.

WolfxEyes (1) | September 29, 2016 2:09pm
Thank you for the feedback! :) But the reason i level the ultimate is because of the lower cooldown and extreem damage incase you can kill someone when you know its safe. I do agree with the xecutioner, i probably should switch some places up. But indont agree on your runeforged hammer statement and rage. runeforgedhammer has 40 power and 10% dmg increase to slowed target which you will you anyway in your combo. It triggers qin's her passive and spiders also. It also gives you health which is always welcomed. About the rage, it gives you 30 power and small amount of crit chance which increases over several hits. I think its way to unpredictable onnits own on arachne, since you will be bursten people down and escape. Your not going to keep standing in their face for a minute slowly hitting them for about 10 basic attacks. But this is my prefference and everyone playsntheir god diffrently. Also if you rather go for crit you can better just go full crit for more burst.

I've never used font changes on mine, so seeing that even in the chapter listing was a bit shocking! It's also a bit hard to read, though...just my opinion there.

I like the themed purple color. Also like the visuals on the abilities. FYI, you can put two pictures on the same row, if you want, you know. Use columns and justify them...something like this maybe:
Code:
[columns] [nextcol]Picture 1 [nextcol][Right]Picture 2[/right][/columns]

Otherwise, you have that huge gap of blankness in the "About Arachne" section.

A lot of the comments I made in your Rat guide would also apply here...spacing in particular. I also don't play Arachne, so probably not the best to comment on build...but I can attempt if you really want.

Branmuffin17 (401) | September 29, 2016 5:08pm
Alrighty...my feedback on the build, but again, take with a grain of salt...I don't play her. Actually, she's one of maybe 4 gods I haven't unlocked. Pretty sad, huh?

So, you mostly play Joust and Siege. In most cases, I can see it argued that a build for one will work for the other, though there's a bit more of teamfight and backing in Joust compared to Siege, at least in the early stages of the game.

Warrior Tabi probably works for overall damage, especially if you build other attack speed items besides just Qin's Sais. I can see Ninja Tabi being considered, but am not sure of the math for her Cocoon steroid at level 20 (provides 70% attack speed). With both Ninja Tabi and Qin's Sais as the only 2 attack speed items, you should be okay and not really overcap, but you DO want the attack speed from a couple of items, because if you can get all 3 hits off in succession quickly, you're more assured of the stun. In your preferred build, you have both Qin's Sais and The Executioner, at which point I would say you'd definitely want Warrior Tabi. But you've got multiple builds going on, so...depends. One other thing to consider...of her main abilities, only her 1 has any physical power scaling...so faster attack speed might work, if the rest of your abilities providing sufficient power.

I don't know if I'm sold on Arachne needing Jotunn's Wrath as a "core" item. I understand the reasoning, and the poke annoyance you can do with Web is nice, but she's mostly a basic attacker that's looking to burst down an enemy and get back out. If she doesn't get the enemy at first, she'll probably want time to reset her abilities, so the CDR isn't fully necessary...at least the way I see it. I guess in Joust, bursting, getting out, and attacking in the confusion of a continuing teamfight with the rest might be important. Hmmm...my question to you, then, based on your experience, is: do you find yourself waiting on the CD of your abilities a lot (not including your ult to save yourself)?

As a replacement in your "usual build," I'd think a Void Shield might be the better option. Since she mostly needs to be in close to do the bulk of her damage, she's going to take damage. This will help her squishiness, and counter any physical god while also providing damage and reducing their protection. This displaces an early need to get some form of penetration, so does a lot all in one. Ancile might be a magical alternative when facing more magical threat, or Runic Shield, very specifically, against an enemy Ao Kuang or Freya.

Stone Cutting Sword is a great item for her, but thinking as a 3rd item, it might be a bit expensive and slow to get online. I'd consider pushing this out a bit, but if it works for you, it works for you.

Qin's Sais is a solid item for her, no complaint there. Her attack progression is 0.5 / 1 / 1, so she can attack cancel with abilities in-between her slower attacks to speed things up. I'd buy it earlier than as the last item though...the attack speed is helpful to get all 3 Cocoon attacks off, and anytime Qin's Sais is bought, you get a nice power spike...it'll also make you more effective against tankier enemies.

If you get Void Shield and Stone Cutting Sword, I don't see the need for The Executioner, unless you're only facing tanky gods with tons of protections. Your target should mostly be squishies.

I also don't see the need for Poisoned Star...and think she might be better without crit in many situations overall. The slow from Web lasts a good amount of time, so you don't need the additional slow this would provide. And remember, anytime you build crits, you really need 2 for max DPS potential...there are plenty of other items that should provide more for her than the crits.

Runeforged Hammer...well, her slow is long, so it can be effective, and the added health is nice, so if you've got other teammates that are just as damaging or moreso than you, the added utility which will also increase any teammate's damage is good...but I'm not sure this is core. Maybe it is. I dunno.

Mantle of Discord is another nice late-game item. Definitely allows you to take some more damage while you're attacking an enemy. When everyone's powered up in the late game, remember also that she doesn't have a leap or anything to quickly close, so incoming damage is likely before you start attacking.

Where does that leave us, based on my feedback? Hmmm...and remember, you can switch Void Shield on any of these with Runic Shield or Ancile maybe, depending on matchup.

If you don't have teammates with strong CC, I can see throwing Jotunn's Wrath in there somewhere to get off more Webs.

Anyway, I'm not sure if that's good advice or not. LOL.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
