Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

Thats a buff...?
BREH
I don't wanna repeat myself to someone I repeated to on the official servers of smite. However anything that makes an item more favourable to get is considered a buff a cost reduction is part of it.
And bullfrog your math is off cause 2700g-2400g=300g
How did you try this build the other day?
These items are no longer in the game?
I actually wonder what goes on in your head these items are in the game whatever your saying is wrong so play the game again and tell me those items are there.
100g cheaper, not 300g
Well, unless I'm reading it wrong

" Shifter's Shield
Reduced cost from 2700 → 2400. "
That is not quite correct.
Behind You! is not considered a critical hit.
Therefore, just hitting behing the target will not proc Deathbringer or Malice passive.
However, Behind You! is added to the damage of your basic attack, and not added as a bonus damage (yellow damage added to your white damage).
Ex :
Let say your basic attack does 100 damage.
If you hit a target with Aimed Strike rank 1, your basic attack will deal damage twice:
100 (white) + 60 (yellow).
If you hit a target from behind, your basic attack will deal damage once :
120 (white)
When you hit with a critical hit, only the white damage will get the 100% additional (or 140% with Deathbringer) bonus.
So, if you hit a critical hit with that Aimed Strike, you will deal damage twice:
200 (white) + 60(yellow).
If you hit a critical hit from behind, you will deal damage once:
240 (white)
So, as you can see, the damage from behind you is applied before the crit % is added.
This also apply for Hydra's Lament passive.
So, building crit on Loki may seems a good option because of that.
However, the basic attack damage, compared to the damage of his abilites, is low.
Building crits on him would only benefit from his basic attacks.
In his usual combo, he can throw 2-3 basic attacks.
If you get a crit on those, it's worth it. But if you don't get a crit, it's not worth it.
So, with only 20% critical chance, it's probably not worth it.
With both Malice and Deathbringer, it could be enough, although the build will cost more.
Rage passive is not useful, as you want your crit on the firsts hits.
Getting 3 critical items would sacrifice too much in your build to worth it.
And if you get only 1 crit item, it's preferable to get Malice.
Simply cheaper by 300 gold now.

I would suggest The Crusher unless healing gods
For a defensive item I would recommend the buffed Shifter's Shield
Buffed?
Seems very solid, although I'm not sure about Malice- does the Loki's passive count as crit? (I always thought it doesn't, and I'd say that one crit item isn't worth it- maybe some defence would be better in its place, and if you aim for the glass canon, what about Brawler's Beat Stick?
I would suggest The Crusher unless healing gods

EDIT:
Actually, when I checked it on Jungle Practise it seems that both Deathbringer and Malice cooperate with Loki's passive, didn't know that.
I tried this build and love it. Thank you for putting it on here
