Izanami is a very versatile and useful carry/Midliner, who thanks to her basics that traverse, her abilities that give her attack speed, a very good escape and the ability to silence, make her A great character to be used aggressively, pressuring the enemy and 1 vs 1 combats
Abilities
Passive (Death draws Nigh): Izanami gains 0.4% penetration and 0.5 intelligence for every 1% of your Max health taken as damage
This works with stacks and each stack fades 10 sec after the damage was taken having a maximum stack of 50
First ability (Sickle storm):Izanami significantly increases her attack speed for 6 seconds and deals bleed damage and bonus damage to structures.
When using this ability the basics stop passing through all enemies or structures, the attack speed can increase up to 50% and the bleed damage works with stacks and after 4 ticks it scales with intelligence
This ability can be activated without breaking the invisibility of the third ability (Fade away)
Second ability (Spectral Projection): Izanami throws a spectral form of herself in a straight line in front of her, dealing physical damage and slowing enemies hit by the ability.
The spectral form passes through enemies and walls, and can also be launched without breaking the invisibility of the third ability (Fade away).

Fourth ability (Dark portal): Izanami creates a portal in the place the player selects causing instant physical damage, silencing, slowing and causing subsequent physical damage by ticks to the enemy gods affected by the ability
Build
Izanami can be a Midliner or a carry, I will show a Build that can be used for both cases
Optional items
These items are variations of the previous build in case you need to change it due to the type of game you are playing.
How to play?
You can see that Izanami is not only a great contender in 1 vs 1 but can cause surprise attacks or successfully escape, However, I will give you some tips for playing with Izanami:
Taking advantage of his passive, he can pressure and be aggressive in the early game, having an advantage over the enemy gods by being able to push the wave of minions with just basic attacks.
Her first ability allows her to take down structures faster than other gods and by using the third escape ability, Izanami can surprise in different lanes and take down structures quickly without much risk
While her third ability can be used to escape, it also serves to attack or win a team fight, since the enemy does not know where Izanami went and being invisible you can surprise to the enemy god and kill him quickly using the other skills or in a 1 vs 1 fight you can use this ability in the middle of the fight to disorient the enemy and kill him thanks to that
Her fourth ability is very useful in team fights or 1 vs 1, thanks to the fact that by silencing enemies she can quickly gain an advantage to finish them off and prevent them from escaping with some ability or other cast that does damage to your team
Do not forget that Izanami can have a great attack speed thanks to his abilities, which you can choose to buy other items and sacrifice attack speed since Izanami will generate it with his abilities
Izanami is one of the strongest lane-dominant ADCs in the game thanks to her u basic attacks that pierce through enemies and return like boomerangs, allowing her to clear waves and pressure opponents.

Izanami is a strong 1 vs 1 god because of her passive and kit so when you play in duo lane don't be scared to fight your enemy
starting your fight using your 2 to slow the enemy then ult him for silence and activate your 1 this gives you the advantage to kill your enemy and stay alive.
Izanami is one of the most lane pressure ADCs in the entire game thanks to her ability to push all minions with her basics that pass through enemies and come back at her like boomerangs. In addition, she has a good 1v1 against other carries thanks to her passive, the good attack speed that she gains from her 1 and the silence of her ultimate. Thanks to this, izanami, in addition to serving as a carry, can also serve as mid
Abilities
Passive: Death Draws Nigh
Izanami gains stacks of 0.4% physical penetration and 0.5 intelligence for every 1% of maximum life missing up to a maximum of 50 stacks. Thanks to this ability, Izanami becomes stronger the longer the fights last, making it possible to win fights that at first would seem impossible.
1 Skill: Sickle Storm
This skill applies several effects, first, Izanami gets an increase in Attack speed and projectile speed with the disadvantage that her basics no longer pass through the targets, also hitting enemies with this skill activated causes them to bleed out, receiving damage over time and at the same time does extra damage to enemy structures
2 Skill: Spectral Projection
Izanami summons a ghost that passes through enemies in front of her in a rectangular area, dealing damage and slowing them. This ability provides considerable burst damage to ensure kills from a distance.
3 Skill: Fade Away
This is a very good mobility skill and the main form of escape. Izanami moves below the ground, becoming invisible at the end of the move and gaining movement speed that can last up to 5 seconds depending on the skill level. Casting Izanami's 1 and 2 do not cancel invisibility, which allows you to surprise your opponent with a lot of damage
4 Skill: Dark Portal
Izanami summons a portal in the ground that silences and slows enemies it hits in addition to dealing instant damage and overtime damage for 2 seconds. This skill can prevent the escape of an enemy thanks to the silence and with the addition of damage and slow, it makes it a very good skill to lock in an enemy and win the fight.

Izanami may looks a great choice because of her basic attack with ridiculously damage, but in balance her other skills are hard to use , and some time isn't that efficient compared to other carry gods. The best part is that you will deal good damage with you auto attack specially if you do a mix of STR and INT build to be efficient again of all kind of gods!
One good thing about Izanami is that she get strong when she is with low heath because her passive Death Draws Nigh, that will give penetration and intelligence for more damage you suffer, and this will allow you to turn a combat killing the enemy in the end, but this will need tons of practice.
And to see how she is focused on her auto attack the Sickle Storm is a skill that will increase you auto attack damage and speed for 6 seconds!
And the Spectral Projection is more a tradicional active skill that you shot a projection of your god dealing physical damage.
And the Fade Away will be your skill to plan an attack or how to flee from the death, and maybe this will bem the grate diferencial of Izanami and it will let her on stealth and you be able to reproach a enemy group of run away from it without be tracked. And it could be a key point to turn a team fight
Her ultra, the Dark Portal, will create a circle on the ground and deal instant damage and over time, it is a small circle but can hit more than one enemy and can kill it after a few seconds if the hit isn't enough to end the enemy heath!
Izanami stands out as one of the most oppressive ADCs (Attack Damage Carries) in Smite 2, combining exceptional early-game dominance, tank-shredding potential, and superb mobility. In this guide, we’ll dive deep into Izanami’s kit, strengths, and strategies to help you excel in the arena.
Izanami excels in early-game wave clear, allowing her to build a lead quickly and pressure her opponents into submission. Her kit is designed to dismantle tanks with her penetration scaling and to slow and disrupt enemies with her crowd-control abilities.
Strengths
Izanami's wave clear is unparalleled, allowing her to dominate the lane and force opponents to play defensively.
Her passive (Death Draws Nigh) provides Physical Penetration based on her missing health, making her a tank-shredding powerhouse.
With Fade Away, Izanami can easily escape dangerous situations or set up ambushes, giving her great versatility.
Slows and silences from abilities like Spectral Projection and Dark Portal make her a strong team fight disruptor.
Sickle Storm allows Izanami to deal bonus damage to structures, making her a key player for pushing objectives like towers and Phoenixes.
Her ultimate, Dark Portal, delivers burst damage, applies a bleed, and silences enemies, providing significant control and damage in group engagements.
Weaknesses
Like many ADCs, Izanami is fragile with low health and defenses, making her an easy target for burst damage.
While dominant early on, Izanami struggles to match the scaling of other ADCs in the late game, potentially falling off in extended matches.
Her basic attacks require precise positioning to maximize the damage from both the outgoing and returning projectiles.
Abilities like Fade Away and Sickle Storm have relatively long cooldowns, leaving her vulnerable if used inefficiently.
Despite her mobility, Izanami is highly susceptible to stuns, slows, and other forms of crowd control that can disrupt her DPS or escape plans.
While strong early, her damage output doesn't scale as effectively as other ADCs in the late game, making her less impactful against well-equipped enemies.
Izanami shines as a powerful early-game ADC, capable of quickly snowballing her advantage and dominating the battlefield. However, her squishy nature and reliance on early momentum mean that careful positioning and cooldown management are crucial. To maximize her impact, capitalize on her oppressive start and rely on your team to protect her during the late game.
This is a quick and easy guide to playing Izanami at a high level. Izanami is a simple God and great for new players.
Strengths
Izanami has hybrid scaling which means she benefits from all meta items (see below).
Izanami has fantastic wave clear and can farm efficiently.
Izanami has very high base damage and penetration.
Her dash is technically a jump, so you can traverse over (under) walls.
Weaknesses
Doesn't have any hard cc (crowd control) in her kit (stun, knockup etc.)
She also has no cc immunity (protection from cc)
Feast or Famine playstyle. Izanami is considerably stronger as her health decreases, which is when you're at your most vulnerable
Skill Explanation (See Image Below)
Passive – Death Draws Nigh
Izanami gains Physical Penetration and Intelligence for each 1% of her Max Health taken as damage. Each stack fades 10 seconds after the damage was taken, and the stack count cannot drop below the percentage of her current missing health.
Basic Attack
She throws a piercing projectile that deals Physical Damage to all enemies hit. The projectile returns after reaching its max range or hitting a wall, dealing additional Physical Damage to enemies on its way back. Item effects trigger only on the first target hit per attack. Projectile speed increases with higher Attack Speed, up to a maximum of a 45% increase at 2.0 Attack Speed.
Ability 1 – Sickle Storm
Izanami significantly increases her Attack Speed for 6 seconds. During this time, her Basic Attacks deal additional Physical Damage but no longer pierce enemies or return to her. These attacks also deal bonus damage to structures and apply a stacking Bleed effect to enemies hit. The Bleed damage is multiplied with each stack and ticks every 0.5 seconds. Sickle Storm can be activated without breaking Stealth from Fade Away and can be cancelled early to end its effects.
Ability 2 – Spectral Projection
Izanami sends forth a spectral projection of herself, dealing Physical Damage and slowing all enemies in a line. This ability passes through enemies and walls and can be cast without breaking Stealth from Fade Away.
Ability 3 – Fade Away
Izanami descends into the underworld, becoming Stealthed, and leaps away from her current position. While in Stealth, she gains increased Movement Speed. Sickle Storm and Spectral Projection can be used without breaking Stealth.
Ultimate – Dark Portal
Izanami summons a dark portal at a target location, dealing instant Physical Damage and additional Physical Damage over time. Damaged enemies are also Silenced and Slowed. The Slow and Damage over time effects start strong and fade away over 2 seconds. The Slow is not affected by diminishing returns.
Skills
Order: 2>3>1>2>4
Max: 2>4>1>3
Combo: 2>auto>4>auto>1>auto + use 3 to dodge or reposition.
Burst : 1>2+4>auto.
Item Build
In the current meta you don't need much else. Although you can potentially flex one lifesteal item (Bloodforge) for Odysseus Bow.
Final Thoughts
Prioritise Farm over anything else, you shouldn't look to fight before 5 if you can avoid it.
You're at your strongest at 50% HP.
Use your 3 to "juke" ganks by turning invisible and changing direction.
Alternatively you can cast your 1 and 2 while maintaining invisibility, (but not auto attack) allowing you to setup an attack on an unsuspecting enemy!
Aesthetically, Izanami is one of the most beautiful characters because she combines strength with elegance at the same time. She has several abilities that allow her to strike both at a distance and up close, so she is a rather versatile character.
Jump Ability
Dark Portal: Through an invocation, Izanami is able to inflict damage and at the same time silence all enemies in her range of action.
Dissolve: This ability allows Izanami to recover and become invisible, thus having the possibility of moving from her position while under attack.
Enhancement Ability
Scythe Storm: For a few seconds she throws her scythes improved in speed and power. While using the ability, she also has attack speed active with additional damage to the basic one.
Death Approaches: The basic attack inflicts 75% damage, allows her to acquire, approaching death, 4% physical penetration up to a maximum of 20%.
Online Skills
Spectral Protection: With this skill Izanami not only slows down her enemies, but also inflicts damage. This skill consists of a spectral projection of herself in attack.

Izanami is an amazing ADC in Smite 2, and she has many strengths. She can crowd control enemies, use wave clear & shred down tanks, all of which can help you gain an amazing early lead.
For each one percent of her max health that’s been taken as damage, she gains intelligence as well as physical penetration.
Here are her stats:
Physical penetration - 0.4% per stack
Intelligence - 0.5% per stack
Max stacks - 50
Something super cool about her is she can throw a piercing projectile that deals physical damage to all enemies it hits or passes through. Remember, the projectile speed can also increase with higher attack speed.
She also summons a dark portal at a target location. This deals immediate physical damage as well as applying a bleed which is further physical damage.

1st Ability: Sickle Storm Izanami activates spinning sickles, increasing her basic attack damage while hitting all enemies in a small radius. This ability is excellent for both wave clear and boxing enemy gods.
2nd Ability: Spectral Projection She throws a spectral sickle in a straight line, damaging enemies and slowing them. It’s a great ability for poking enemies or securing kills on fleeing opponents.

Matchups
Good Against:
