Build Note (New)

There have been changes to the build.

Important things to note:

Build defense when you need it. The build is very situational, so you might need various things to help you stay alive.
Personalize the build. The better you know it, the better you'll be. If you can personalize the build, you'll be able to easily adjust to situations.

Introduction

Farming is essential for this build so dont mess around too much when getting Tension Bow. Keep pressuring the enemy jungle and stealing front camps and, if you kill the jungler, take the back camps.

Start the game off with a Crystal Bit and either boots or a Hourglass. The order of building Stormcrown and Aftershock is purely based on how your team is doing in the game. If your team is doing well, you might want to get Aftershock first as it'll burst quicker. However, if your team is struggling because the opponent is tanky or building defense, you might want Stormcrown for the extra damage.

Mid Game

While building Stormcrown and Aftershock, don't forget to build defense. The build doesn't show it, but it is always good to stay alive.

Top

Mid-Late

If the enemies are building items that hinder your ability to burst them down, build Broken Myth sooner, rather than later, as it will help pierce the shield.

Top

Late Game

At this point, you should be working on finalizing defense and you might be getting Broken Myth. Always remember to use infusions, they can change the course of a team fight, and possibly the game.

Finale

The final build consists of

Stormcrown
Halcyon Chargers
Aftershock
Broken Myth
Last 2 items of your choice

Extra Notes

Playing as a Taka, you will need to farm consistently. If you are the only person in the jungle farming, you should get level twelve by the 12 minute or even the 11 minute mark. While farming, take a break and gank some people in the lane. Afterwards, go right back to farming.

This build has been worked on over the past couple years through countless games and adjustments, but by no means is it perfect. At the time of the original build release, using alternating current wasn't a half bad idea. But throughout the updates, it has became irrelevant to the build and has been removed. I would also like to thank everyone for the support when making this guide. All suggestions are great for improving the guide.
