Aliway - Unknown
An Artemis build focusing around being annoying with your traps, slow, and ult. This relies a lot on you teammates to deal with people with escapes but includes some damage to secure your own kills and even destroy squishies.
This is the exact build I used! I started gilded arrow and Spiked gauntlet by accident (I wanted to do tank Artemis but went along with the popular build) and turned it into what it is in the finished build.
This build has mana problems and it is recommended to get mana buff if you can.
Gilded Arrow
PASSIVE - Every 8s the highest health enemy minion or jungle monster within 80 units of you is marked. If you secure the killing blow on that target you gain 4 bonus gold and 25% attack speed for 8s, and restore 30 Mana. Can be upgraded at level 20.
Spiked Gauntlet
Aegis Amulet
Using this item makes you invulnerable to damage and healing for 1.5s, and prevents you from taking any actions. You may still move. Cooldown - 170s. <font color='#f59b56'>Kill or assist minions to upgrade this Relic for free.

Shield of the Phoenix

Additionally, all Healing received by enemy gods is reduced by 40% and their shield effectiveness is decreased by 50%. If an enemy deals 10% of an Allied God's Maximum Health within the duration, the Movement Speed and Damage Dealt decreases are increased by 5% each, stacking up to 3 times. Cooldown - 110s.
Aegis of Acceleration
Using this item makes you invulnerable to damage and healing for 1.5s, and prevents you from taking any actions. You may still move. Each instance of damage prevented in this time provides you 7% Movement Speed for 4s, stacking up to 3 times. Cooldown - 140s.
-Instead of selling spiked gauntlet i chose soul eater to lean into ability based support Artemis, I could get heals off of traps and cooldown to place more traps
-I've never used Shield of the Phoenix before but it sounded fun to use traps and slowly heal up from random enemies around the map (Though in this guide I recommend more offensive/active use of traps)
-Binding and Abyssal Work well by using your 3 into you trap or ult. This also makes things easier for your team!
-I went Fail-Not because it can provide some extra damage for the team via crit, gives pen for more damage, and gives you max cooldown combined with soul eater and SotP.
Generally Tankier builds you may want to use instead of my original build.
You could really choose whichever you like but these provide nice cooldown and go with the themes i want well

Feel free to switch some of these in if they seem more fun or useful in your comp.
This is how i prefer to level
-The traps are fun and don't increase in mana use so i max them first
-The 2 grants useful speeds to allow kills or escape
-3 deals more damage but lack of slow increase makes me hesitant for earlier upgrades
-The ult is good to upgrade, more damage and stuff.
I like placing traps around and causing the herc to hurt himself :)
This build and Artemis in general is fun against Gods with Movement abilities without cc immunity.
Really anyone with a lot of long lasting or frequent immunity to roots.
