Introduction Top

Taka. My main character. Stealthy, deadly, and oh so fun to kill with. The difficulty for him says hard, but I find him extremely easy to play. If you also enjoy using him, try my build. I've had great success with it, and my average score is around 15/1/5. I apologize if this build is copied, I didn't look at all Taka builds already made. (this is my VERY first build guide)

Skills Top

1. Kaiten : Taka's main skill. I mostly use it to leash major objective, namely the mines and Kraken. When used correctly, damage is avoided, so learn to use it correctly :). I take the max level, as a free spell is always handy.

2. Kaku : Taka's initiation. I use this to sneak up on the enemy, then cut them to ribbons. When used correctly, a good Taka can juke the enemy and live another day.

3. (ultimate) X-Retsu : The reason Taka is so deadly. The damage is just insane on this skill. The max level of this skill does immense damage. I use it as a way to get to the enemy. Kaku, X-Retsu, Kaiten, then auto attack is my combo. After this, the enemy should no longer be standing.

Items Top

I start Ironguard Contract for the extra gold. I then get a Weapon Blade at the jungle shop, turn it into a Sorrowblade , then get Journey Boots . Following that are a Tension Bow and a Tyrant's Monocle for passive critical damage. Ending with a second Sorrowblade and an Aftershock and your enemies will be dead many times over. If you want a defensive version, you can replace the second Sorrowblade and/or the Aftershock for an Aegis , Fountain of Renewal , Metal Jacket , or a Serpent Mask . After playing a few rounds, I have a new one shot build of Sorrowblade , Journey Boots , Tyrant's Monocle , Aftershock , and ending with a Shatterglass . When it gets really late game and you have 1000 gold and full build, sell the boots buy each elixer, use them, and rebuy boots.

Jungling Top

My jungle route is simple. Start at the first healing minion and then head to the twins. Kill the second healing minion and go to the mini twins. Gank as necessary. Watch the timer for the four and fifteen minute marks. At four minutes get the Minion Miner after the mini twins. Contest and Gold Miner, and steal if possible. This is generally when you see the message "Gold Mine Almost Full", or when the majority of the team is MIA (missing in action) and not dead. Counter jungle if you think you're strong enough. Keep in mind that their jungle is a mirror of yours. You want to take their healing minion close to the Gold Miner/Kraken, or their mini twins. If you can kill it fast enough, take their Minion Mine and escape with Kaku by looping around to back bush. If your own Minion Mine is taken, take it after your mini twins.(healing minions are the large single minions with a slight green aura)

Ganking Top

Normally, I gank at three when I have both my skills. If you wish to gank earlier, get Kaku one level earlier. To gank check if the enemy has half health and is halfway across the top lane. Ping "On my way". Go in the nearest bush to lane, behind them if possible. Ping them to go. Activate Kaku if you wish, if not, use Kaiten and follow them with auto attacks. To escape, use Kaku if it's up. When you have your ultimate , use that instead of Kaiten to start your gank and use the combo mentioned in skills.

Late Game Top

Late game. The start of Kraken fights. If all has gone well you should now have three items and are very strong. Buy two Scout Traps and place them in the corner behind Kraken in the cave. Those will give you vision. If you know the enemy is taking Kraken, ping, and if you're alone, try to steal it. Steal it by using your ultimate and Kaiten . Escape with Kaku . If done well, you should have stolen the Kraken and bought time for your team. Recall and prepare to continue the game to victory. Finally, NEVER RECALL, unless desperately low on energy or health. Go kill a healing minion :).
