Baron Samedi pulls the souls of the living towards his Coffin, becoming immune to Crowd Control and taking 50% reduced damage. Enemy gods within range are caught in a Vortex, dragging them towards the Coffin and take damage every .33s. When an enemy god reaches the coffin their soul is ripped out, causing them to be stunned, take a large amount of damage based on their maximum health and gain max Hysteria. This ability persists for 3.5s or until an enemy god is pulled to the coffin.

If targets being pulled are above 30 Hysteria, the pull strength is increased.

Chapter Title

This build works for most mages in my experience but for him in arena its unstoppable. The first game i played as him i used this build and finished with 15 kills and only 4 deaths so your survivabilty is quite high and the damage you do with your 1-2-3 combo after landing a first hit with a basic kill most gods instantly. Hope you guys enjoy this build as much as i do!

*This is my first guide if any recommendations just let me know

There really is no need for when you can get .

Build order is horrible. Levelling order is wrong. You overcap cooldown reduction. Your main magical penetration is an item for attack speed mages.

I will suggest an improved build in a simlar style to the original one: , , , , , .

What I would actually build for Arena: , , , , , .

I will have to agree with the general assessment.

Leveling is way all over the place. You typically want to target one skill to prioritize. In this case, it's likely to be Vivid Gaze, due to the lower CD and easy poke potential. In a teamfight mode like Arena, you may decide to prioritize Consign Spirits, though, to offer more support to nearby teammates. This would be up to you. Just wouldn't suggest your current leveling order of continually varying leveling in a cascade.
Arguable, perhaps, but I don't usually feel Mage's Blessing is worth it in Arena. If I were to go with a blessing, I'd consider either Attacker's Blessing or Specialist's Blessing...Attacker's is nice for the early pen, while Specialist's (my likely pref for Baron) is great for the early CDR and eventual MS.
Continuing, I like the additional MS due to Baron lacking an escape. I'm guessing this is why you have Breastplate of Valor in your build...to offer some protection and survival. But BoV is helpful against physical gods only, and you may be encountering an enemy comp with higher magical threat. BoV then would be significantly less functional.
And yeah, you're overcapping CDR. Don't do that. I suggest dropping BoV as a standard item. I do feel Chronos' Pendant is a key item for him here, and would prefer building it earlier. You can keep Shoes of Focus if you'd like, but might appreciate a bit more pen from Shoes of the Magi. Keep in mind, you've got additional options for more CDR. Potion of Magical Might gives you 10% CDR for 3 minutes (or until death), and you can also pick up the Mana buff, which also gives you 10% CDR (but for 2 minutes).
Very strongly suggest against Demonic Grip. He's not a boxer like Freya, and you're just asking to be completely blown up if you're trying to get function out of this item. Yeek. In addition, you got Rod of Tahuti 4th, which really hurt your power curve and delayed your effectiveness. You mention that the first game you played him, you went 15/4. I would guess that either the skill level of the opposing team was low / your team's was high, the enemy team absolutely didn't know how to play against Baron, or both. If playing against me, I can guarantee that we'd be focusing you. Lack of escape in his kit, only protection is built late, etc., and building items that really don't go with his kit or are in a non-efficient order = juicy target.
Unlike Kriega, I would prefer a tankier version of Baron rather than a glass cannon. If I could do it in my comp, I'd consider stacking Warlock's Staff and probably pick up Mantle of Discord. That combo would help keep me alive and in the middle of a teamfight. The other items I'd consider core would be Shoes, Chronos' Pendant, and Spear of the Magus. The last item slot would be situational.

Baron is great built tanky especially with items like warlocks, gem of iso and rod of asclepius however I feel like Warlocks just isn't worth it in arena with how bad it makes your early game and the likely chance your stacks will be stolen.

This is true, and I can agree with it. It's just really hard to pass up the high health while also providing the other good stats. 200 health from something like or something just doesn't feel like enough.

so after reading your post i reworked the build and tried it in a game for updating my post (dont wanna post something without trying it first) and i have to agree this works much better i do believe the BoV is interchangeable depending on the opposing teams set up but for now ima keep it out

and i know i butchered the leveling order in all i honest i should have just left it out until i knew for sure

looking at the build now whats your opinion

Please do not get 5th item. At the very latest get it third. Most of the build is fine but I would ditch for a much better item like .

Also my preference for starter item for arena is to skip getting a starter and just build into a tier 2 for your first power item or boots, e.g. when you want to build . Then you can get 1 health and mana pot.

i went with doom for the fact that he has no escape or mobility moves and that extra movement speed is super useful throught the whole game

Thanks for taking the time to consider things. You should also try out some of Kriega's build suggestions, just to see how they work. I'd say both build directions (glass cannon and bruiser) are functional, and you might choose different paths depending on team comps and threat level.

I get the idea of getting early in the build. It's cheap and gives a nice boost of power. At the same time, you have some decisions to make. IF you decide to go , you NEED to build it earlier...it's a stacking item, and to get the survivability you gain from it through the majority of the match, you need to build it much earlier. The latest I'd consider building it would be no later than 3rd.

Also, if you're building that stacking, you might want to rush more quickly than that...say, immediately after shoes. To help rush Staff, you might then decide to completely drop getting a blessing at all. If I wasn't stacking, I'd consider the blessing more, but with Warlock's, I'd probably bypass any blessing altogether.

In the end, the rest of the build order is up to you. You may want earlier damage, to which end you'd prioritize before . Or you might want to spam abilities (likely my preference for him), and so I'd get Chronos before Spear.

So...for me, my own preference for a stock build would be to grab the mana buff, , (situationally), , , , situational.

But this is your guide. Continue experimenting and see what you like the best.
