KamikazeKitty here again, this time writing a guide solely for Arena for Bastet, the Goddess of Cats. I am in no way a great Bastet player, but the fact that my first 3 Arena games with her with my build were
Bastet all solo Rambo, but you'll probably die. Also, Bastet is best played as a Burst Assassin. That means jump in, blow everything on their face and jump out. More on all this in later sections.
Bastet. Jump in, and if you land multiple abilities, one of them will do +15% damage! Free DAMAGE!
Pounce this will do +15% damage with your passive. The last reason is that often enemies will escape you since you use you jump to initiate. The bleed on this goes for 4s and I can't tell you how many kills I've gotten from the bleed damage on this ability.
Bastet is feared, or at least disliked by enemies. Her ult is super annoying to get hit by, especially after taking a slow from Declaw. These cats can kill multiple people in their lifetime if the enemy doesn't focus them, but generally they will get one kill or an assist. Make sure you are closest to your target and that you hit them with another ability before you summon these ferocious felines on them.
Sorry about the BBCoding errors, some items aren't working how they are supposed to... I've tried dang near everything to fix it. Please let me know if you have a fix for the multiple word items not registering for BBCoding.

Warrior Tabi are the go-to boot for any physical character that relies on ability damage to get kills. Bastet is a burst physical god, so buy these always.

Jotunn’s is another must buy on most assassins. This item has CDR so you can use your abilities more frequently as well as penetration and power. The extra mana also helps a lot on Bastet as she has such a low mana pool at the start. Always buy this item second.
|
| Shifter’s Shield | Shifter’s is a great item on burst assassins, and assassins in general. You get +60 power above 50% health, which is the most out of a non-stacking item. You also get protections to help you in case you do happen to get hit with some abilities when you jump in. I consider this item necessary for the huge amount of power it gives you for your third item. |
| Titan’s Bane | Titan’s is a great buy since they removed the pen from boots. The percentage pen isn’t as nice as flat pen since you’ll be targeting squishies, but it takes effect before flat pen so it is still really good. I pick this up fourth always in Arena. |
| Brawler’s Beat Stick | Brawler’s is an excellent item on Baster purely for the power and the penetration. If there is a healer on the other team, or anyone with self-heals/lifesteal try and get a basic on them in the midst of throwing all your abilities on their face. The power and the flat pen is enough of a reason to buy this item anyways. |

I buy deathbringer purely for the power. The passive is excellent if you manage to land a crit, but the majority of the time you won’t be basic attacking anyways. I always buy this last just to round out some power on my build. Any item with 50 power would work, I just buy this one because I believe in the RNG XD. |
| Magi’s Blessing | Magi’s is an excellent item on any squishy assassin because it essentially saves your life once every 45 seconds. It does reduce your power and by the time you pick up your third or fourth item, you should be able to judge whether or not you need this. Generally buying beads and using them appropriately will be enough. |
| Hydra’s Lament |
Hydra’s isn’t as great an item since the nerf. The passive never really did much for Bastet anyways since she doesn’t AA very often. The main reason to buy this is the fact that it has power and CDR, but I personally don’t ever buy it because it’s too expensive for what it is.
|

|
Winged Blade is mostly a defensive item that happens to have some CDR on it which is nice. If they have a lot of slows on their team and are using them to keep you from escaping or doing damage, this might be a good buy. Plus it’ll put you at 35% CDR so you can use your ult more often and annoy the **** out of them. |
|
|
Void Shield is a decent buy if you are dying to physical gods a lot. Not only do you get a good amount of protections, but you get some power and reduce their protections when you are near them. Unfortunately if you use your Cat Call and jump away they get their protections back, but you should get a kill or at least an assist still. |
Bastet in Arena is both difficult and easy. It really depends on the team you are with and whether or not you can communicate with any of them. Having a team with a good amount of CC and the ability to work together is amazing. If they aren’t helping you out, or aren’t coordinating very well it’s up to you to figure out the best times to jump in.
Thor to throw his hammer, or for 
Agni to dash, then strike. Also, never jump in on 
Anubis if he has his 
Mummify or 
Death Gaze up, you will die 99% of the time. Wait for the enemies to use their escapes and/or CC, then jump in when they are helpless to get away from the killer kitties. There is nothing more annoying than jumping in blowing all your abilities on a 
Scylla to watch her teleport into well and escape death.
These actives are for Arena gamemode, in Conquest you would always buy 
Hand of the Gods.
Searing Pain.
Pounce is on cooldown. I personally don't buy this active as you should never jump into a situation where you might need it.
Bastet is very much so a burst assassin. All her damage comes from her abilities, which is why you build her for physical power and penetration. She also has two abilities that do tick damage, even better for doing pure ability damage. Her ultimate is about the most annoying ultimate in the game, short of the executes, and her jump can be used to jump back to its origin. She has an interesting kit that thrives off chaining abilities together for maximum damage.
