Hunter's Blessing
Spiked Gauntlet

Spiked Gauntlet
Ninja Tabi
Ward
Try to back immediately after you got 1700 Gold. The powerspike of Devourer`s Gauntlet is worth it.

just basic hunter crit items 90% of the hunters should have.
Atalanta's Bow
Rage

Toxic Blade for anti heal, 
Bloodforge if you are carrying the team and need to be able to fight long. 
Void Shield is currently a great defensive choice but the cloaks work too.

Hi everyone I am Maniel. I am a long time ps4 player and really started maining the adc role. And after maining  Xbalanque while he was completely op (who didn't ;)) I looked out for alternatives and found the demonic rider Hachiman. This is my first guide and I am German, so correct me if you find mistakes. Enjoy my guide :)

Pros - High mana regeneration with passive - Attack speed buff on whole team - versatile use of dash - very safe escape ultimate - easy engage/ kill secure with ultimate - safe damage output of the back - strong 1v1 |
Cons - need very good aim to maximize damage potential - can screw up escape easily - stun not easy to apply - need to have very good game knowledge -> high skill gap |

A nice little passive for mana sustain. With every autoattack you gain MP5 stacks upon 5 stacks. Makes the Mana and MP5 of  Transcendence useless.

His first Ability is a steroid which increases his basic attacks range to 80 (normal is 55) but you do a little less damage on range which is fine. The interesting thing is that it triggers item effects and can crit. This creates a nice synergy with  Poisoned Star and  The Executioner.

This ability is your clear tool in lane and is a strong poke/long range damage tool, that's why most level it first. Another really nice benefit is the attack speed buff you gain when you enter the area. You can use that to push towers fast or even help a jungler like Ao Guang. |

One of my main reasons why I love this god. It's a basic forward dash, but when you hit an enemy god with the dash and the circle hit he gets stunned for 1s. I love to use it very aggresively, because it can bring you out of an AoE ability behind the target and stun it and you still have the disengage with Mounted Archery. But be carefull until level 5 to only dash in if you know you are gonna win this fight.

And the 2nd reason I love him. You summon a giant horse, get cc immunity and ride into the sunshine, or do a Pentakill with your AoE bolts, depends ;). So you can use this ultimate aggresively or defensively, depending on the circumstances. If you use it as an escape, because  Arachne seems to like you watch out that you position yourself well when casting. A turn on this huge horse is rather difficult and when you run against a wall you are pretty much dead. So look at the direction you heading first. If you use it aggresively you NEED to be aware of your damage potential. Your sacrificing your escape to secure a kill or catch up. If you know your bolt wont do enough damage ride close enough so you can hit them with your Iaijutsu. Also please dont chase worthless gods. A 0/6  Skadi is in most situations not worth it.

Hunter's Blessing nice for any aa based hunter in lane. Spiked Gauntlet provides you a little bit of sustain in the lane so you can stay longer. Ninja Tabi. This item gives you a lot of early game damage and Movement Speed to rotate faster. You are now a bit more of a threat but try to just farm up to 1700 Gold to get your Devourer`s Gauntlet. Once stacked it gives you a huge powerspike. Devourer's Gauntlet and Ninja Tabi you should go for The Executioner in most cases to shred the tanks. Your Eagle Eye also makes it possible to proc this item on an long range which becomes important especially in late game. After that get Rage. The 45% crit chance just makes it a chore item in any crit build. If you are ahead in lane you may even get it before The Executioner to get the stacks earlier. Deathbringer makes your Basic Attacks crit more often and increase your damage potential. 1 Situation where you should rather go with Wind Demon and Poisoned Star is, when you are up against a 
Kuzenbo with thorns and another god with 
Hide of the Nemean Lion but if so a pen build would be probably better either way.
Asi, Wind Demon + Poisoned Star instead of Deathbringer if the enemy team has 3 auto attack based gods like 
Bakasura, 
Bellona, and the hunter to debuff them and keep the distance. Titan`s Bane if you feel like their tanks have to much protections.
Aegis Amulet is key. With your Mounted Archery you have already CC immunity. But since you can use it often as a engage/ kill secure in late game beads to don't get one shot is nice. Another option would be Bracer of Undoing to stop one hits and to confuse the one hit assassins ^^. Eagle Eye. You can hard crit of a far distance and proc Poisoned Star. The only reason to go for penetration and attack speed would be on a really tanky enemy composition with 3 tanks.

About your question, see bran's comment.
You are saying it because I'm famous and you are not :p
Now the first thing I see is that you're not declaring your suggestion of
Anyway, back to the concept of Rage. You're going to get incredibly consistent crits if you go Rage to DB. Sure, you don't get the same boost of MS and AS with WD, but you can consider that late if you want in the Rage build.
And although you don't need the mana from Ninja, without AS in Rage/DB, you would probably want Ninja in that build direction. Devo's, Ninja, Rage, Exe, DB as first 5 items. With the higher crit chance in these 5 items, you have an opportunity for higher burst damage if you get the stun from an Iai. Those are the situations I really like Rage...burst damage potential. Combo from Medusa, steroid activation for Art, 1-2 combo from Chern.
Anyway, if you don't like Rage, you don't have to include it, but it can be viable, just partially depends on the enemy comp and how ahead you are in the match. I'd suggest trying it in a few matches and seeing how you like it. If you still prefer WD, stay with it. This is your build. But as an FYI, if considering a roughly equivalent enemy target (70ish protections), Devo's/Ninja/Exe/Rage/DB/WD has higher DPS potential than Devo's/Warrior/Exe/PS/DB/WD...by over 100 DPS. Of course, PS provides some utility Rage does not, so there's always that to consider as well.
If we consider current popularity, crit isn't even it. Hachi is seeing good amount of play, but almost no one is going crit. They're doing the early O-Bow thing in a Qin's-based build. Some people are doing the double-lifesteal thing with
I definitely see now the option with
Oh and yeah I saw the pros playing more with AS and Qin Sai's but I dont think that's the idea behind him and crits fits my playstyle better. But I made a 2nd Build for the people.
