Raven Shout is your main ability you want to level mainly to escape the early game. do not bait yourself into thinking about doing maximum damage as most would. be smart with this ability it is your bread and butter and can be your life savior or quick death if used improperly.
Lunge is your first ability and is scary to any you dare to leap towards. consider using Raven Shout after your leap early game because the enemy team WILL anticipate you leap especially on the long duo lane.
Gungnir's Might is good to slow when enemies slip up or to peel for your ADC so dont use this so carelessly.
Ring of Spears is great for peel for yourself or your ADC, try to get kills so you can get that beautiful Damage buff that comes with it.

The reason I’m exposing this build is because it’s won me a lot of games in platinum rankings and it’s solid if you can maneuver around anti jump gods, and heal comps.
It’s mainly just all defense with heart seeker and you can go to town on just about any back-line and junglers mid game into late game depending if they built defenses or not. *Caution*
IF defense is built on the back-line and/or junglers than it would be wise to build crusher too. Almost like your a jungler, right?
Mind you, I wouldn’t pick this god against healer comps mainly for the reason there are much better picks, but if you happen to be countered by healer comps.
Don’t ever forget to build 
Pestilence in replacement for Heartward Amulet
or maybe replace Heartseeker with 
Brawler's Beat Stick
even 
Contagion for Sovereignty could be a thing but it’s all in replacement of the first few items I have listed.
all depends what anti heals your team is building.
for example: I never like to buy pestilence if my team has already built it.
