NOTE: I have only published this to update the build for players who comes across my guide, I am currently in the process of reworking the rest of the guide.
This guide has been reworked for the current state of Smite.
In this guide I will explain:
- How certain items benefit 
Bakasura
- Strengths and Weaknesses.
- How to play Bakasura effectively.
- When and when not to gank.
- Gods which are easy/hard to play against.
|
Pros
+ Has a high DPS. + Has good sustain (eat minions). + Deals true damage ( Butcher Blades). |
Cons - Dies very quickly when focused. - Bad in teamfights ^ - Early game his ganks are limited. |
 Insatiable Hunger- Ability: Passive This ability gives Bakasura a speed/attack speed buff when he kills enemies, which is useful for chasing down enemy gods or escaping from them._______________________________________________________________________
Take Down- Ability: 1 Can be used to iniate a gank dealing some damage or escape from enemies. It can be used over walls which could allow you to secure a kill by taking a shortcut, or escape certain death. __________________________________________________________________________________ eat minions eat minions - Ability: 2 When a minion is devoured Bakasura gains health and a temporary protections buff which can be useful when escaping enemies. Every devoured minion adds a stack to Regurgitate (max 6).__________________________________________________________________________________
Butcher Blades- Ability: 3 Bakasura gains a physical power buff and deals true damage on basic attack hits. You want to use this ability whenever you are fighting enemy gods.Note: True damage bypasses protections. __________________________________________________________________________________
Regurgitate- Ability: 4 (Ultimate) Bakasura's basic attacks become cone attacks and the ground target area applies a slow and cripples enemy gods within the radius. Also, for every stack Bakasura has (gained from Eat Minion) he creates a miniature version of himself, which will attack nearby enemies.

Death's Toll
Bumba's Mask would be a better choice because of it's health restore or the solo gold bonus, and they might be right, but I disagree. I take Death's Toll because it's base stats are better, it gives you some lifesteal, agreeably it will not heal you as much as the passive on Bumba's Mask, but on Bakasura I would rather have the extra physical power and attack speed bonus which helps out early game when ganking and counter jungling. The solo gold bonus will only be needed throughout the first 2 or 3 camps, and then it is essentially useless. Death's Toll gives you an advantage over a jungler that uses Bumba's Mask and that is why I build it.
Warrior Tabi Bakasura - Physical power, attack speed, movement speed, and physical penetration. To put it simply, you need this item.
Heartseeker Heartseeker second, before Hastened Fatalis. The fatalis could give you an advantage when chasing down kills because of its passive, which is useful early game, but for the sake of stacks I build it after my Heartseeker as it doesn't really make a difference anyway.
Hastened Fatalis
The Executioner works well, but I like to take the Hastened Fatalis because it gives you movement speed as well as attack speed. This helps a lot when you are roaming and will allow you to get to camps quicker and out run most enemies.
The Executioner Bakasura, it gives you lots of physical power and attack speed - very useful. I do not recommend swapping this item out as it provides Bakasura with his two most important values - physical power and attack speed.
Qin's Blades Bakasura deal more damage if the enemy's health is higher - this only effects gods. If you do not have much gold, 
Frostbound Hammer works well too, but does not give you the extra attack speed which can make a big difference. Although the passive for Frostbound Hammer is good and would be a good substitute for an item like this.
Rage Hastened Fatalis and The Executioner. If you do decide to use this item instead of one of the other items, I recommend keeping the Hastened Fatalis, otherwise you lack in attack and movement speed.
Soul Eater
Frostbound Hammer Frostbound Hammer provides a good amount of physical power and health, so it could be a substitute for any other similar item. It's passive is very useful - it slows enemies by 25% for 2 seconds on every basic attack speed, which for Bakasura, is very useful since he has such high attack speed, you would essentially prevent the enemy god from escaping.
Deathbringer Deathbringer overall gives you a lot more damage, I would recommend you use it even though I have not put it in one of my builds (I sometimes swap it for The Executioner or Hastened Fatalis). I normally keep the Hastened Fatalis because of the extra attack speed, which means more hits and more crits!
Starting off you want to do mid harpies or a more difficult buff with your team mates, as it gives you a lot of gold when using Bumba's Mask. You should then pop your potion of physical might and solo a buff camp (I recommend Attack Buff), this should not be difficult as you have 
Hand of the Gods - it is important that you solo camps early game to get more xp, as having the level advantage over the enemy jungler can be vital in some situations. Some people do not understand this concept, and will ignore you and do early camps with you anyway thinking they know best, and you will not gain enough xp to level up and get your Butcher Blades, this is not the end of the world and you will recover very quickly, it just means that you could be a level behind the enemy jungler if you come across them in the jungle.
The rout I usually take is marked on the map below, after this rout you can take any camp you come across as you will be a high enough level, but it is best to start with harpy camps if you do not have Hand of the Gods ready.
In this section I will be listing a few gods which I HATE to lane against and why.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Ares
- Difficulty: Moderate
When laning as Bakasura you need to be careful as you are very squishy. You can play more aggressively if you use your eat minions ability at the right time to avoid death. But most of the time when you are in a tricky situation you use Take Down to escape. Ares prevents you from escaping with his 
Shackles which is what makes him so annoying to lane against. He can just stop you from leaping away while his team mate does a load of damage to you. You could use 
Purification Beads but it would be such a waste - you want to keep them for his Ultimate (
No Escape.
Ability 1 - Shackles
Ability 2 - 
Bolster Defenses
Ability 3 - 
Searing Flesh
Ability 4 - No Escape

Also, SightLess, a guide does not need to be redone just because you did badly with a build... that just means you aren't good with the build, not that the build is bad. Practice more and you should see improvement OR decide this style of play and God just aren't your cup of tea.
This guide is pretty bad.
The items are alright. I like the different builds you give.
The skills, however, are just copypasta'd from the wiki. You give absolutely no info on how to use them, when to use them, etc.
You give good reasons to pick the items. I have no problem with this.
But there reason why I'm giving this a downvote is the complete lack of any actual guiding on this guide. You give a little vague paragraph on what to do early game, but there is no info on being a jungler. No guide to camp clearing, no guide on aggression, or ganking, or invading, or counterjungling, or countercounterjungling. You don't give him a role in teamfights, either, or the role of Baka late game when everyone's grouped up.
The matchups bit with Ares is nice, but it is also incomplete.
Overall, this guide is half-baked. Downvote, needs more info.
I agree. My guide is old and I have only briefly come back every patch to edit some aspects. I need to re-do the guide. Expect it.
