For starter items you have two choices: The arrow
or the cowl.
I mainly go with Gilded Arrow for the passive which gives a 20% attack speed buff for defeating marked
minions and extra gold/mana. The upgraded
versions also really come into play with the rest of
the late game build. We will be utilizing either of the bow upgrades with attack speeds to have massive late game damage.
The Leather Cowl is an amazing option that I recommend for players that are starting to learn the
carry role or if you are aiming towards a crit build. It
provides better stats all around but both of these
items are my personal favorites.
As for the first item: We are rushing into Ichaival.
This item really can persuade the way a lane goes.
If you are able to farm effectively and get this item
before your opponent does you are almost always
going to win early. The passive on Ichaival reduces
attack speeds of hit opponents by 7% (3x) for 5
seconds while increasing your power by 15.
Why this start? This is a combination of shred +
attack speed. While yes, we can probably get away
with transcendence, I have relied on Aas (auto-
attacks) to deal most of my damage and use
abilities as a means of securing kills and/or getting
away. So do as you find fitting for your style of play;
but this is merely one huge suggestion.
Gilded Arrow
Leather Cowl
Short Bow
Healing Potion
Multi Potion
Pretty straight forward: with this build you'll get a
bunch of damage and auto attacks off while
debuffing enemies and buffing yourself with
Atalanta's passive as well as Ichiaval's passive.
There are some alternate options: there are spots
where you can swap out a few things. On this
particular path you can swap arrow for "Hunter's
Cowl", you can swap the last two items (Odysseus'
Bow & Silverbranch Bow") for Toxic Blade(Anti-
Heal) and Executioner (Pairs well with Ichiaval).
If those two items aren't your cup of tea try: Qin's
Sai or Fail-Not
Gilded Arrow
Ichaival
Asi
Atalanta's Bow
Odysseus' Bow
Silverbranch Bow
Leather Cowl
Not a huge fan of crit on my racoon dog whatever
this dude is, but it works for some people! Pretty
straight forwards and to the point. Let me know
what I could do to make this path better. I typically
never go this route so I am not as well versed with
these items' synergy.
Gilded Arrow
Ichaival
Rage
Demon Blade
Deathbringer
Asi
Ornate Arrow
The general idea of why I choose to level the 1
(Fool's Gold) first is to maximize damage on both
pokes & kill potential right after using an ult to drive
towards an enemy. While the other two abilities are
great and useful they do not really offer much
potential for killing with upgrades.

Hey, you're probably trying to play this racoon dog thing and that's cool. He's pretty easy and fun to use so i'll go ahead and get right into it. We won't dive into max/min, I just know what works for me and I have him at rank 10 with a 75% win percentage so let's keep it simple and here we go dudes.
** DISCLAIMER: Not claiming to be the best or whatever, I just do good with this god and want to help others with what knowledge I do have. Thanks for reading. **

That was to display how the build can utilize both starter items.
I know you said you like the attack speed buff the crit arrow provides, but hear me out. A fully stacked crit arrow gives 35% attack speed, whereas hunter's cowl gives 45% attackspeed (and 25% of that is an aura) when you are near allied gods, and you don't have to stack it.
I think it would make more sense for the crit arrow to only be an option in the crit build because I believe cowl is a much better option if we are strictly speaking of attack speed.
BUT Crit arrow in your current crit build would overcap crit by 10% once fully stacked, so I feel like you could replace either wind demon or death bringer with something else.
Also feel free to double-check my math cuz it definitely isn't my strongest subject ...
Good build and guide overall though ! :]👍
Also the crit build could use some more pen, Wind Demon by itself isn't enough lategame. Also lacking lifesteal.
My suggestions:
Bow Build:
Crit Build (if you want a Gilded build):
Crit Build (if you want a Cowl build):
In the bow build I do not omit Quin's, I mention it for alternative routes (see notes) but as I mention this is for me. So anything I say can be taken with a grain of salt! I choose to go Arrow to have the attack speed buff from the passive which can also melt opposing gods. No wrong way, this is just how I have found success :)
As for crit: I will defintely look into your suggestions, thank you for the input!
