Introduction

I will add a build order soon.

Summary

This build plays up to Artemis's passive Still Target, which gives her passive crit chance based on auto attacks. Devourer's Gauntlet is an obvious choice, giving her good lifesteal at full stacks. Ninja's Tabi gives Artemis more attack speed and a decent amount of power. Instead of building Ichival into Odysseus's Bow like most people (*Cough* BaRRaCCuDDa *Cough*) I like to rush O-Bow in order to help with her lane clear.. which isn't the best. Executioner and Qin's Sais are excellent items as they help Artemis shred through tank's protections and help her melt squishies even more. Finally, Wind Demon adds more crit chance to her kit and adds attack speed, allowing you to annoy people even more with her passive.

This is my personal favorite Artemis build, as it works almost no matter what the enemy team is. Early game, you might struggle a little bit, but I find that once O-Bow is online, there is really no stopping you. Thanks for reading! :)

Why are you getting Wind Demon as a lone crit item in a qins shred build? You should either go full shred or triple crit.

Here is the two ways I would build her:
Build 1: , , , , and either or .

Build 2: , , , , , Wind Demon. (Alternatively you can get instead of Wind Demon if against dangerous hard CC on enemy team, e.g. enemy jungler is .)

I add win demon to help boost her passive steroid. It adds even more crit chance, and gives her an attack speed boost to help her land more crits, and shred more protections.

Kriega's point was that you should get a minimum of 2 crits items if you're going for crit. Also, you're way overcapping your attack speed by getting both and . is a crit based hunter, so you should build for that and not for tank shredding. Both of Kriega's builds will work better than what you're offering.

hi,

Im a little new to smite, i do have a question about the 2 builds you commented on. Is build #1 more for tanky gods? since you're using Qin? While build #2 is dealing more with squishy enemies? If im wrong on anything, my bad... still quite new to the scene. Just trying to get the hang of everything.

thanks in Advance

You're correct! Qin's + the potential option of is a very strong counter to tanky enemies. If you're seeing multiple enemies building health and/or protections, this build should work well.

If most gods are squishy, or you're at least able to deal more 1v1 against squishies and don't have to worry as much about tanks, then crit builds are generally better for the burst potential.

One thing to note about Art...she's got 2 things that steer me away from a Qin's build.

Qin's Sais is asking for a very steady and high AS, to get the most out of the passive. However, Artemis has a very powerful attack speed steroid, and if you build high base AS, you're bound to go over the AS max of 2.5.
Her passive gives a slight boost to crit chance (0-15%). This obviously can enhance crits if you build that path.

Thus, my strong preference would be to almost always build crit.

NOW...in the case that you're up against a tanky enemy comp, this is one of the few situations where I might consider the addition of a late to a crit build. The last item in a build is almost always situational/preference. This is where it can slot in well. Something like this build:

, , , Wind Demon, .

You may not easily get a full build in a quick arena match unless you're fed, as this is pretty expensive, but it's an option at least.

If I had a choice between Wind Demon and I would pick . You get better use from .

Okay, then get but switch with .

ohh WOW, thanks for the detailed response. Much appreciated :) so you mentioned you would mostly lean towards a crit build. Can you give me a general build you would do on her?

Well, I'd say you can go with Kriega's base suggestion above. I personally wouldn't go for that because it blows past the AS cap. Even before the Wind Demon extra 20% AS passive kicks in, if she's got active, she's already above the cap. Even changing out for , and she's still at the cap without that WD passive.

So I would say you have a lot more flexibility with than with other hunters, due to her powerful steroid and her passive crit chance.

Lifesteal: Devourer's Gauntlet is core.
Movement: Depending on the rest of your build choices, Ninja Tabi or Warrior Tabi.
Pen: The Executioner is core. Depending on need, you can get it 3rd, or you can delay it.
Core crit: Deathbringer is core. You can get it as first OR second crit, depending on preference. The reason for it first is because her passive gives her a bit of extra crit chance, and if you get lucky with RNG in a fight, you win. The reason for it second is because it's expensive, that passive isn't all that strong in terms of crit chance, and getting significantly higher crit chance before investing in DB is helpful.
Other crit option ( Rage): Because of her steroid, I personally like Rage, but it's more helpful if you're ahead and racking up kills/assists to stack it. I still think it's a solid item without the stacks, though.
Other crit option ( Poisoned Star): The price is nice, and it's specifically helpful for boxing. You'd usually get this first in a crit build, but if you like DB first, you'd pick this up 2nd. Even if you're ahead, getting this early can help your boxing and give you an advantage before the enemy gets some of their other items up.
Other crit option (Wind Demon): I honestly like this less for Art than either Rage or Poisoned Star, because she gets plenty of AS in her other items. It's still nice for boxing though.
Last item: Already talked about Qin's Sais as an option (though it's not directly synergistic with crits). Brawler's Beat Stick is functional for anti-heal and the base stats are nice. Another of our SF members, xZeroStrike, really likes Hydra's Lament, and with recent buffs, it's an interesting off-meta choice that can give you some extra burst. Shifter's Shield is nice for the high power and protections. Or, you could go for another crit item.

Keep in mind, it's not necessarily bad to overcap AS situationally...when your steroid is down, higher base AS will keep you effective. And because her steroid is so strong, it's very easy to overcap without building much AS. Just don't need to overdo it.

So...my main preferred build would probably be: , , , , , Situational (maybe or ). Crit rush would delay a bit...either after Rage or DB, depending on how tanky enemies are. This build will give you 85-100% crit chance if you get PS, and a base 1.84 AS with Vengeful inactive, and slightly overcapping AS with Vengeful active.

An alternate build for earlier boxing focus would be: , , , , , Situational, with Exe again being built whenever you really need it.

thanks for the help!! this will help me better Artemis for sure
