Try and get enough gold for Golden Blade ASAP on your first back.
This is where the build comes together. You should be shredding anything by the time you get Stone Cutting Sword.
My personal favorite ending to the build.
If you go for Elixir of Speed, Qin's Sais are a no brainer for late game.

The cripple is insane. If there was one singular god that I'd be scared of, it'd be Artio.

Great choice. Bakasura is an amazing jungler and ganker, who is able to destroy squishies and shred tanks.
There's a couple of things to remember when playing Bakasura.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PASSIVE AT MAX STACKS!
Every minion or creature you eat, it gives you a stack on your passive. More stacks equal more minions from your ultimate. That's always a good thing because:
DON'T FORGET YOU CAN EAT YOUR OWN MINIONS FROM REGURGITATION!
It's really easy to forget about, but when you're low on health in a teamfight, you can easily just eat one of your regurgitated minions for a hefty heal.
90% of the time I use Take Down as an escape tool. It's generally best to use it this way until you get halfway through the build (around Stone Cutting Sword) and are able to shred anybody in-range.
Don't forget you can eat big jungle creeps if they're at or below 33% health. It's a huge timesaver and can secure contested jungle buffs easily in the early game.
ALWAYS HAVE BUTCHER BLADES UP. I cannot stress this enough. I've seen Baka players rush in and not have Butcher Blades activated until several seconds into the fight. There's no reason not to have these up. It sounds redundant, but oh god.
Regurgitate is the ultimate pentakill move. If you rushed Golden Blade, you'll see what I mean. Tons of damage. Everywhere.
My way to play Baka is to prioritize jungle camps no matter what. Staying ahead is the name of the game. Once you're one or two levels ahead of your enemies, then I'd start ganking.
Always make sure you have at least 3 stacks of your passive before ganking, just for utility purposes (healing and chip damage).
Always prioritize the squishies of the group. With my build you can easily 3-4 shot them. Warriors and Guardians should be easy once you have Hastened Katana.
Butcher blades are your tank buster. Use them along with the items in my build to easily shred anybody with protections.
Don't be afraid to tower dive. Eat Minion is an AMAZING self heal ability. Once you reach mid-level, you'll be healing for 1/3 of your health easily. If you have regurgitate, you can always eat your own minions while running or under the enemy tower for prolonged engagement.

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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

Also, I'd think you'd want more damage potential. While it's nice to have the higher heal, grabbing a jungle starter will give you some sustain while in the jungle, and that'll allow you to level your leap after you max BB.
The 10% LS and bonus movement/attack speed of cowl gives you way more options outside of the jungle, especially if you go for early solo/mid ganks.
That said, I believe I'm still coming from a fairly meta mindset with my comment and general thoughts. I don't think what I've said is incorrect with regard to functionality of standard suggested items. If anything, I don't think it'd be bad with the standard suggestions, just maybe you feel you've found a build or item set that allows you to take advantage w/ your playstyle?
Start is assassin’s blessing, tier 1 Katana, 1 health pot and 1 mana pot.
Build: Golden Blade, Ninja Tabi, Hastened Katana, Stone Cutting Sword, Ichaival, sell Assassin’s blessing and buy The Executioner. Sell Ninja Tabi lategame for Elixir Of Speed and Qin’s Sais.
Personally I would prioritise Qins over Ichaival though.
Ninja tabi is bought after golden blade in this author's build for the early game power spike.
Nice job!
