Sundering Axe
Blackthorn Hammer
Transcendence
Brawler's Beat Stick
Caduceus Club
Arondight
The trick behind this build is to secure Blackthorn as soon as possible. Camazotz is naturally more vulnerable earlier in the game when his leap and ult are offline. For this reason, you should play passively until you've unlocked your ult and secured the +400hp provided by Blackthorn.
To that end: before initiating, make sure you have at least one movement ability at your disposal. Ideally, you want both - one as an entrance, and one as an exit. Camazotz can be played to extreme aggression, but gets easily flustered without a clear exit strategy. This becomes less of a problem later into the game, when essence pools are everywhere and Caduceus Shield keeps you alive eternally.
While Blackthorn gives you the survivability, Transcendence is the star of the show when it comes to power. However, build order is important here. Rushing Transcendence without Blackthorn makes you highly vulnerable to ganks, and without both your ult and leap online, this could give the enemy everything they need to start snowballing. Play it safe, and start building Transcendence immediately after finishing Blackthorn.
Brawler's Beat Stick is the sleeping giant of the build. The trick behind playing Camazotz well is 'out-sustaining' your opponents, and using your Vampire Bats to stay in the game. Brawler's makes this even easier. As your opponents struggle to regenerate their health, you'll already be healing toward full HP. Then, you can strike while your prey is weak and dazed. Even if the team has no healer, Brawler's anti-heal is always a great choice.
Finally, Caduceus Shield. This item gives you a perfect combination of power, defence, and HP, with an incredible healing aura to boot. This is great to have on Camazotz. It synergizes with your kit and goes a long way in winning late-game team fights, particularly when you have lifesteal-heavy gods like Anubis on your team. This gives Camazotz great team-play capabilities, unlike most single target damage assassins.
While Arondight gives you that extra bit of late-game power, it's not essential. This item can be replaced with Mantle of Discord, Ancile, Winged Blade, or Pridwen, depending on the circumstance. However, you should only deviate if you're getting shut down by heavy CC or lack sufficient protections. Overall, this build utilizes Camazotz' inherent healing capabilities and strong base damage to create The Eternal Bruiser. Men will fear you. Women will flock to you. And bats will swarm your enemies beyond their wildest nightmares.
