Strategy
From levels 1 through 4, simply run from flag to flag and capture them. At level 1, with swift anklet and boots of speed, my movement speed is 7.5 and I can usually move around very well. I will also pay attention to enemy demigod locations and try to hold as many flags as possible (unguarded ones) to get the war score advantage early on and lower enemy morale. I usually only engage 1 demigod and avoid many demigods together if I am alone. If I am supporting others, I will track my hp and mana and let my partner know if I run out of mana (OOM).
After a while, I get scalemail, nimoth's chest armor, and citadel upgrades - priests and mint. I then find some area where enemy has towers at around level 6 or 7 and simply attack them with creep wave support of priests. If enemy demigods come near, I heal myself and retreat if my mana runs low.
Eventually, I have enough +speed and +hp regen (Inner Grace) as well as the item armor mitigation properties to bypass enemy towers in maps like Cataract, etc. and simply capture / lock enemy flags.
As I level up by capturing flags, I usually find I have some of the lowest cash generation, grunt kills, structure damage, etc at end game stats, but I have the highest flag captures and death rate since I don't really bother with attacking too much.
Edit 1: Please keep in mind, I do not get any mana regen items with this build except Heart of Life, so teleport scrolls and capture locks are essential for regenerating mana (crystal in base and on maps like Exile and Mandala) as well as keeping your skill spam to a minimal. Infact, I do not get any major active mana consuming skills except Heal and Pounce at later levels as the role of Sedna is not to do too much interaction with other demigods.
Edit 2: Formatting (Same font for all).
