General Description with stupid comments (might add more later)

This build was built around one principle, "what the dog doin?" As we all know the dog doin a big 50% scale off attack speed and 80% of skadi's damage... but what about pen? After scouring the interwebs for many a minute... no clear results! So I tested with the best boy and found that kaldr receives 100% of your pen whether it be percentage, flat, or the passives off of dominance or wind demon. With this in mind, skadi is able to achieve true role equality... everything dies in the same amount of time! With a whopping 55% and 30 flat pen (dominance surpasses the max suggest some changes so I can get it even higher!) coming from both you and your goodest boy, a gruesome scene straight from animal planet is only a press of "2" away! or whatever it is on console

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this only gives you 45% pen, not 55%. Have you experimented with The Executioner instead of Dominance?

Also, your starting potions should include a mix of Health potions as well. Your other build includes them, so it might just be a formatting mistake.

Excellent point! Under normal circumstances I'd go with the tried and true Executioner but the reason I don't is because I've found that skadi's dog benefits uniquely from dominance over exe, (after your post I tested exe and found the dog benefits but doesn't proc the passive) this along with wind demon are core to the build. As is the gag-theme with the build the dog is core, and the dog actually benefits from the passive of dominance which is an exception to the rule of him not proc'ing item passives (along with wind demon) since his attacks count as basics. So for the price of 2550 you gain an effective 50% pen whenever your dog and yourself are hitting a so-called tank. As for the potions I'll change that real quick thank you for the suggestions!

Regarding Kaldr, he inherits all of Skadi's penetration, both percent and flat, as you pointed out in your write-up. However, Kaldr does not benefit from Dominance’s passive.

With Dominance, Kaldr benefits from the base 10% Penetration, but only Skadi’s Auto Attacks can benefit from the passive 15%.

So, with your build, 45% + 30 is the penetration for Skadi’s autos (with Wind Demon passive proc’d), while 30% + 30 is the penetration for Kaldr autos (with Wind Demon passive proc’d).

How to set up the experiment to test Dominance passive for Kaldr:
