Note 1: Order of boots and
Devourer's Gauntlet /
Transcendence can be swapped around, depends how much gold you've gotten from being in lane, if you need to back early then go boots first. But going boots first will generally help for being safer in lane and prevent you being easily camped by the enemy jungler.
Note 2: General situational defensive / hybrid items you can build:
Magi's Cloak,
Mantle of Discord some games, (maybe
Relic Dagger,
Winged Blade,
Void Shield,
The Sledge,
Bulwark of Hope,
Shifter's Shield?) Would substitute for the less necessary damage items in your build (so not your main percentage pen like
Atalanta's Bow or bulk DPS items like
Qin's Sais, and probably ideally as a lategame boots replacement).
Note 3:
The Executioner is generally a poor penetration item option, but can possibly find some use if you are a AA Hunter AND if your team has 4+ physicals and you want to help your team shred tanky frontliners, or if you're a hunter that doesen't utilise
Silverbranch Bow that effectively you can consider it as a very late option.
Note 4: If you need Anti-Heal in a Trans Qins build you can get either
Brawler's Beat Stick or
Toxic Blade (e.g.
Hou Yi,
Chernobog), depending on which god you're playing, and if they value the extra survivability from
Toxic Blade. Also think about how easily the god can apply
Brawler's Beat Stick's passive.
Note 5: Remember that if you're building into crit then the enemy frontline (Support/Solo/Jungle) can counter build against you with
Spectral Armor and
Shield of Thorns, as to which you may want to go a Qins based build instead on a AA Hunter and/or if they're stacking a lot of health in their build. Also Crit doesen't do too well against
Geb (
Hard as Rock) and
Kuzenbo (
Shell Spikes).
Note 6: When
Elixir of Speed and 7th build item is mentioned, that means (lategame) buy
Elixir of Speed, and then sell your boots/shoes and buy that 7th item once you have enough gold for it. Do not sell your boots until you have enough gold for that item (also remember that selling boots gives you some gold).
Note 7: Going Qins and Crit together (Generally a lone
Rage for crit) isn't typically always build efficient, but it is more common on
Jing Wei because
Explosive Bolts gives 20% Crit chance at max rank of the ability.
Note 8: If running a second hunter in Mid or a "mage hunter" (
Olorun,
Chronos,
Sol) in Mid then if you're an ability based hunter you can choose to go the "Trans Ability" build mentioned for Mid in ADC as well (Not always a necessary requirement, but the recommended condition to do it). Hunter in Mid in general is usually run with Double Hunter + 3 Magical team comp or if you're running a mage or mage hunter in ADC.
Note 9:
Talaria Boots can have some value on immobile ADCs like
Ah Muzen Cab and
Skadi, but the item has received past nerfs that make it less desirable even on these gods.
Note 10: Some ability / hybrid hunters like
Ullr,
Ah Muzen Cab and
Neith could possibly skip
Asi in Trans Qins builds in favour of a
The Crusher or
Brawler's Beat Stick instead, due to self sustain in their kit, and a mid to late pickup of
Chalice of Healing can also help with lack of lifesteal. Can also depend on if your team has healers.
Note 11: Power spikes are points during the match where you have an advantage in strength over members of the enemy team. In terms of hunter items, this could be for instance a
Devourer's Gauntlet you have fully stacked, giving you an advantage in laning phase in terms of sustain from the high amount of lifesteal it offers and the decent amount of power it provides for your auto's (which usually have 100% scaling from your physical power), helping you box the other ADC in lane. Other examples are: a stacked
Transcendence, which gives (typically ability) hunters strong damage output on abilities and prevents them easily going out of mana (OOM),
Atalanta's Bow, providing you percentage penetration to help shred tanky frontliners building physical protection, and
Qin's Sais, which provides a good damage boost on your AAs to all targets, including tanky frontliners (especially when they're itemising into health heavily).
Note 12: For crit builds with
Rage, if you're ahead, consider building
Rage before
Atalanta's Bow to get the stacks sooner for the item passive.
Note 13: For Devo Qins builds, consider getting
Qin's Sais before
Atalanta's Bow if you have a decent / good attack speed steroid on your hunter and / or the enemy frontliners are itemising early into high health items. Also,
Ichaival is a decent item choice in this build path that can be considered as a 3rd item if you need help boxing the other hunter in lane.

"Note 13: For Devo Qins builds, consider getting Qin's Sais before Atalanta's Bow if you have a decent / good attack speed steroid on your hunter and / or the enemy frontliners are itemising early into high health items."
It's optional / game dependent. If im ahead in gold sometimes I may go Qin's first on those specific hunters. Usually I get atalantas first though (also because I sometimes wait to decide if im going crit or not). On Heimdallr I go Odysseus' after boots and Devourers cause of his low base attack speed / hard hitting base autos.
Honestly any of these order could also be fine depending on the match and your pick:
Devos > Ninja > Ata > Qins > Obow (Standard).
Devos > Ninja > Obow > Qins > Ata (As I described above).
Devos > Ninja > Obow > Ata > Qins (this the path I run on Heim sometimes, could do it on Anhur too).
Also, about your alternatives a clarity for non native English speakers. you mention X 'for' Y. Maybe better to use 'instead of' instead of 'for'. I actually at quick glance/first read: swap out X for Y only to find Y already being used.
Or, as a experimental build I just thought up. You could try: Boots > Trans > Crusher > Soul Eater > Berserker's > Heartseeker > Sell boots for Fail Not. I don't think it's actually any good though lol, like, it's probably ok overall, but is it better than other options / build paths?
Honestly, if the goal is to cap at 40% (if you're not fine with 30%), i'd rather cap percent pen by swapping Jotunns for Berserker's on Skadi, and going something like: Warrior > Trans > Crusher > Berserker's > Atalanta's > Heartseeker > Bloodforge.
Maybe Asi can work in place of Crusher in the 2nd build, but then i'd maybe swap bloodforge for Qin's.
Btw I appreciate the Runeforged Hammer choice on AMC ;)
There's also that Double Shuriken build that Netrioid was using in SPL
