Introduction

I want to start this off by saying that I'm a Rank 10 Skadi main on PC and a 2-Star Skadi on Xbox. I am by no accounts the best at either this particular God or Smite in general but I've found something that works for me and I rarely have trouble getting at the VERY least 30k-40k damage per game. My average is around 12-13 kills with an average of 45k damage with this build and I've been asked by random folks to share it (hence this guide).

How to play this build efficiently.

Early game:

If you have a good team, you may be able to get a couple of kills. However, your best bet is to just stand back and try to avoid direct fights until later on. Make getting Transcendence your number one priority and then once purchased, focus on minions or getting easy kills to build the stacks. Then you can move on to the other items. Once you get the first few items fully built, you should be able to hold your own against most enemy Gods that don't have a lor of crit as your crit won't be built up until later.

Mid Game:

By the time you have three or four of your items built, you should have no problem knocking some Gods down but by this point they should be about as far into their builds as you are so the fights will be even (save for a few Gods such as Anubis or Kukulkan that have unreasonably high MP). It gets a little easier to chase wounded enemies down for the final blow at this point, especially if you use your 3 to give you that speed boost.

Late Game:

At this point, unless you're ganged up on, you should be unstoppable. You'll be critting for close to 800 (depending on the target's protections) and doing around 300-400 basic attack. USE KALDR WHENEVER YOU CAN. His attacks increase your attack speed, allowing you to melt away any enemy that stands in your way.

Items

Hunter's Cowl: This build focuses on attack speed and crit so Hunter's Cowl is great for maxing out your attack speed by mid to late game.

Transcendence: This is where a lot of your base power comes from, which is why it's so early on in the purchase order.

Atalanta's Bow: This is where you get your first little bit of crit plus another boost to attack speed. Alternatives include Ichaival and Silverbranch Bow, but I prefer the passive of this one.

Envenomed Deathbringer: Again, another high crit item with the added bonus of increases your crit damage. I don't recommend swapping this out but I don't control your life.

Shadowsteel Shuriken: This is where I'm not sure if I've made the right choice but the reason I choose this over Wind Demon is for the base attack speed boost and crit boost. However, after a little bit of testing, there isn't much of a difference so use whichever you prefer.

Asi: This is the cherry on the cake for Skadi (in my opinion). It tops off your attack speed while giving you just a tad bit more lifesteal. Plus the passive on it allows you to stay in the fight longer if you run into a sticky situation, provided you kill someone.
