General items/build that you will have.
In the general order, however you want to progress them differently and maybe switch the order between Crusher and Soul Eater.
Bloodforge/Deathbringer are swappable.
All of these 'backs' are based off the order you should buy them. If you have surplus gold, obviously either buy consumables or start the next item. NEVER upgrade relics until endgame.
Assassin's Blessing
Jotunn's Wrath
Warrior Tabi
Soul Eater
The Crusher
Hydra's Lament
Bloodforge
In this phase, you want to basically start off as a basic Jungler.
You can buy potions/wards, because you are left with 100 gold.
For your relic, I usually buy blink. If they have someone with early game cc that poses a threat, buy beads.
Assassin's Blessing
Mace
In this phase, you should've backed once after getting 1600 gold. You want to buy T3 Boots in this, and nothing else, besides consumables.
If you have a surplus of gold, try upgrading into Jotunns.
Warrior Tabi
For this back you want to upgrade Jotunns if you hadn't already.
If you did on the first back, skip this phase.
Jotunn's Wrath
You want to build Soul Eater early, but if you build it too early then you are a lot weaker and have a slower progression, which is why I put it as your third item.
In this phase you generally just want to focus on Soul Eater because it is so cheap, but you can buy consumables in this back, and maybe even another relic if you're level 12+
Soul eater is a great lifesteal item for Awilix because it provides just enough of everything to make her much more prominent mid game.
Tip: Also, with Soul Eater you want to go for the Oracles by Gold Fury. They give a total of 10 stacks.
Soul Eater
Crusher on this one for CDR, damage, and (mainly) attack speed. This will be your main attack speed item.
Crusher's passive also helps with your 3's clear, and general damage.
The Crusher
Hydra's Lament is a very good item for Awilix due to it's good power and CDR that it gives. It's passive also gives Awilix more damage after her combo.
Hydra's Lament
In this back, the items you choose don't really matter all too specifically. It depends on what the enemy team is building/what gods they are playing. For all I care, it can be magi's cloak or some defense item.
Bloodforge
Deathbringer
Magi's Cloak

Welcome to Awilix! Glad you can join me, and the other 6 players that play Awilix in this amazing adventure!
I'm assuming you're here because you saw/got the new skin coming out in patch 5.15, or you got destroyed by a good one and you want a build/guide for Awilix.
Well, no matter the reason, Awilix is a really fun god to play and a broken one at that, if you can master her.
She is an early/midgame god that can dish out a lot of damage and is VERY mobile, allowing her to travel through lanes in seconds. She also relies heavily on her abilities. Miss one ability and your whole combo is messed up. High risk High reward situation. Awilix also relies heavily on snowballing and keeping ahead of their jungler/team.
Her playstyle is to get in, mess stuff up, and get out. (Like most junglers.)
Awilix has very a decently good clear for jungling, which I'll get into more detail later.
Well? Think you're interested in Awilix? Lets start you off with some things like her pros/cons. Then I'll show you her abilities, and some combos.
Pros
-Great Mobility
-Great Damage Output
-Great Early/Midgame
-Good Combo potential
-Decent Clear with her 3
-Crazy snowball potential
Cons
-Awkward/Bad Lategame
-Very squishy
-Insanely vulnerable to CC
-Relies too heavily on her ability combos
-If you fall behind you are done for practically.
1. Summon Suku (MOUNT/LEAP)
This ability summons her panther, Suku, so she can ride on him and traverse through jungle, and lanes easily. This increases her movement speed and gives her more versatility. Suku can also pounce on enemies dealing damage in a AoE radius.
This ability has an 8 second cooldown.
2. Feather Step (LEAP)
Awilix flips over the enemy you last hit in the past 1.5 seconds, in a range of 30m. During the flip she is immune to all damage, and CC, and roots/cripples the enemy she is flipping over. This ability changes with attack progression. If Awilix uses Feather Step on her second attack, it does an AoE damage.
The progression of damage between attacks with this ability is: 1 / 1.5 / 2
3. Moonlight Charge (LINE)
Awilix sends Suku out rushing towards the enemy dealing damage, and possibly CC.
If enemies are hit from behind, or the side with Moonlight Charge, they are knocked up.
4. Gravity Surge (STIM/PULL)
Awilix's ultimate gives her a Stim, giving her attack speed, attack power, and immunity to roots, slows, and knockbacks.
If enemies are knocked up by her 3, or by allies, she can pull the enemy towards her, dealing damage when they land.
So, as you can see from reading her abilities, Awilix has very high combo potential, and is kind of based off it.
A combo I like to use is: AA-AA-2-3-4
This combo is the 'advanced' combo, here are the base combos: 2-3 , 3-4 , AA-AA-2
Her 2 flips behind them dealing damage, and while you're behind them, if you're quick enough you can use your 3 to knock them in the air. With the 'advanced' combo you can deal AoE, flip, knock them up, and then ult to do insane amounts of damage. After your ult just auto attack, after all you have Crusher, and your Ult's stim.
AA means Auto Attack (Basic Attacks) for those who didn't know.
Tip: Your 1 is very often misused. You usually don't want to use the leap on Suku to engage, because then you have no escape whatsoever.
To counter this weakness, I usually buy blink so I can blink to engage, and summon Suku to escape.
Tip: With Summon Suku, if you cancel the ability while mounted, there is no cooldown on it. If you want to get off, cancel it so you can have it at the ready just incase you need to escape, or have movement through the jungle.
Tip: Try and bait out puro beads with your 3, be sure to prioritize exp camps.
Tip: Get rid of magi's cloak by using your 2 as that counts as hard CC. However, you have to wait a couple seconds to knockup with your 3.
Awilix's jungling is very similar to all other Junglers.
Her 3 is the best for clearing out camps, and try to hit all the jungle monsters with it for a better clear.
Awilix should go in this order:
Speed,
EXP,
Mana,
Harpys by mid, (Only grab 1)
Damage,
Repeat.
If you know how to play jungler, then you don't really need to read this, but I'll say some "Awilix Unique Jungle tips."
Use Awilix's Suku for traveling around the jungle/through lanes, but don't ever pounce with Suku unless you are about to recall. Always cancel your 1 so you have it always. It's like a permanent speed buff that uses mana.
For clearing with Awilix just use your 3 and then basic attack. If needed, you can use your 2's AoE (Hit twice, then 2) for clear. Her 3 is better for camps though, contrary to popular belief.
Overall, Awilix is an insanely fun god to play and can be considered Broken if you master her. (As majority of my friends call me out for...)
Have fun with the new skin that's coming out too! Finally we get a skin that doesn't look like a hooker on the street corner (Feline Fashion)
Also, Please don't pronounce her name "Uh-Wheel-Ish" I get that's the actual way to say it, but Awilix just sounds way better ;-;

The only other thing I noticed is that you label
But again, solid first guide and I'd love to hear more of your ideas. HMU in-game sometime if you wanna play, my IGN is Salad.
Also want to hear your thoughts about Trans (with SE and Hydra's and no Jotunn's). Like...Trans, Warrior, SE, Crusher, Hydra's, situational.
Finally, Feline Fashion is my favorite skin =)
Feline fashion is the best skin lol
But I'm probably wrong lol.
Anyway overall solid guide
But yeah, I'm not trying to be a jerk but it seriously ticks me off when someone bashes someone else's build ideas without giving any real reasoning behind it. If you had tried to explain why
Bran was teaching me how to play Awilix the other day. He recommended
But yea, agreed with you. There are definitely multiple ways to build certain gods. If someone can make unconventional builds work, and be able to defend why the unconventional build works, more power to them.
Although nowadays I go full ability with no attack speed items. Gotta love those 600 non-crit AAs when
And the proper combo would be both
Do Gold Fury oracles really give 10 stacks of
Also, I'd like to hear your opinions on the following items as situationals for her:
Gold fury oracles give 5 each, so 10 stacks in total.
Thanks for the feedback :)
