Pre-Elixer of speed build

Notes In all likelihood, you will be buying divine ruin to negate the opponents antiheal, however you can exhange that for spear of desolation if they aren't running healing and you could use the extra kill power and cooldown. I really recommend getting the stacking items early, as your stack-building passive will make these items a lot more viable to run and give you a bit of an advantage early game if you can get them built faster than other mages. You can also switch rod of tahuti for warlock's staff for some greater health and penetration if you need it

Post Elixer of Speed Build situational items to build

Notes Spear gives you some good kill power and cooldown, its good against squishy characters to give you a lot more firepower. Obsidian shard I'm currently on the fence about, but a good hit with a power/slow potion can be a solid initiation for a kill with the item so I'm not sure if it is better than the spear. More tests with gameplay style will determine this.

Baba Yaga

This is a quick joust build that I have been enjoying, it is likely to change as I get to know the god better, but this is what I have had some early success with building.

Skill Building

I'm not positive what the best way to build her skills is. This is not a min-maxed build, more like the start of an experiment. I find that the items here work well to compliment her, and the best strategy i have found is to level up her most powerful ability, #1 wild magic, first and then use the slowing potions for initiation, chasedown, and general damage. The potions #2 may! be a better ability to build first as i am unsure if the math of having 5 ingredient potions is more valuable than the raw damage her 1 does. As well, the ability to land 2 full level potions may be more valuable than hitting the singular attack. I am not sure, any advice on this section would be appreciated.
