W.I.P

this guide is a work in progress, the guide is about 35% complete, just wanted to share what i did so far and get some criticism before its archived again.

Another Note:

I know the changes could seem weird, but they basically allow Skadi to gain more viability in her best area right now which is splitpushing.

Introducktion




Hello! My name is DucksRock, And i'm a long time smite player.
When i saw Skadi for the first time, i fell in love with her kit. She's such a unique goddess.

Skadi has a weird Ah Muzen Cab vibe to her. She has lots of damage, however, she is incredibly risky, and can be ganked easily.
But, Skadi Is one of the few gods that you always have something to master in, She has a very high skill ceiling (Very hard to master) and you can be a god with her if you practice enough.

She has a lot of mechanics, Some of them you'll master naturally, and some of them are map
dependent.

She is currently the best split pusher in the game, however she is easily gankable.
So, Let's Start! I hope you guys will enjoy it!

Nice guide. Allthough I wouldn't say Skadi is the best split pusher in the game. I think that honor goes to Loki. Bastard can pretty much split push and you won't even know it with his invisibility and decoy.

So, I've been falling for Skadi in Arena for the past week or so, and well, I'm trying to make a good build for her. I'm currently experimenting with a build: Transcendence> Warrior Tabi> Ichaival> Frostbound Hammer> Jotunn's Wrath> Titan's Bane. I have a method to my madness, mostly following the observation that lifestrike isn't all that important in arena, and my wanting to cram more Kaldr strikes into the bonus damage time of Piercing Cold and the root-time of Winter's Grasp.

I was wondering what your thoughts were on it?

I like going crit on arena with most hunters, since the unicorn build is mainly focused around having objectives, and i feel like the cirt build is better for boxing, so i go:

Start:
Combat Boots, Short Bow.
Build: Warrior Tabi, Ichaival, Asi, Qin's Sais, wind demon, Deathbringer and sell Ichaival for Titan's Bane.

however, your build is also great, although lifesteal and Qin's Sais are pretty much core (for me, at least), i just don't like getting unicorn on arena Skadi because of the reasons mentioned above and the fact that Kaldr, The Winter Wolf will get focused a lot more in the arena.

BucktoothChimp | June 22, 2016 8:11am
So I'm back and want to ask: "Why is Qin's Sais so important? Every time I look at it it seems unremarkable considering its passive doesn't transfer to Kaldr and is affected by armor.

I'm not so on board with your ability build, but your guide is great.

Anyways, I recently pulled an interesting thing using Permafrost. I pulled an ankle-breaker on an enemy that was chasing me. I threw a permafrost down, ran one way, and quickly changed directions. The enemy slide far enough away that they couldn't catch up. I figured this might be an interesting thing to add to your permafrost section, if you wanted.

That's situational tho. i don't want people to rely on that trick because it could be easy for an enemy to catch up, its better to just send Kaldr, The Winter Wolf and put one Permafrost down.

True, having a bullet list of situational tricks that "it worked this one time" etc. wouldn't make for a good guide. Thinking back, it was a bit childish to post it. Regardless, I want to compliment you on your guide. I'm new to the game and was eyeing Skadi for a bit. Your guide has been helpful to say the least.

Hey! I am now incredibly sick, however, i've managed to rework the builds. expect some more skill tips (Yes, MORE FOR THE KALDR SECTION) and an alpha gameplay section.

Even if it's unfinished the guide looks great already- clear and easy to read. I do not have any experience with Skadi yet, so I won't give much feedback regarding the build but I can assume its well thought-out taking a look at the detailed item choices explanations.

I also second this request =)

Kaldr needs a monocle.


Other than that, you might want to fix some brackets- even if it's still work in progress, will at least save some effort later.

-Silly Skadi, It's A Wolf! Not A Unicorn! section:
* [[kaldr, the winter wolf //unfinished bracket
* mandatory stat which is a must when boxing other hunters.[/color] //either some typo in [ color ] itself or didn't use any at all :P

-skills section --> Kaldr!
*when sending [[kaldr, the winter wolf] to attack towers //unfinished bracket

These are the ones I menaged to spot.

All in all, upvote from me, and I look forward to seeing it finished!

What I meant, is that you could just explain why you chose the specific items in your build and why they work together? No need to explain how the actual item works, just how they fit in Skadi's playstyle. For me, In-depth guide can contain even some obvious explnations, since it's meant to cover everything. And it was just a suggestion to add more info about your relics choices ;) I know puri is great for her :)

But hey, your guide, you know what info is necessary.

You are correct, although i wrnt over my build tabs and what they generally offer.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
