This is a guide I made just for fun. You can choose whether you want to take it seriously or not :)
First off, watch this to get a general idea of what
Taka does:

Now, let's learn how to get good with
Taka.
Taka is a very mobile assassin, able to sneak in and out of battle while having the ability to dodge debuffs and damage. His A ability allows him to avoid damage and debuffs, his B ability allows him to turn invisible to opponents and heal while invisible, his C ability makes him deal damage to an enemy and bleed them.
In the ability upgrade path above, you should notice that at the level 5, no ability is upgraded. This is because you can do something called
skill skipping, to forgo a point in an ability at level 5 to spend it on a better ability at level 6. In this case, you sacrifice a point in
Kaku so you get 2 skill points at level 6, allowing you to upgrade both
Kaiten and
X-Retsu.
Early Game (0:00-6:00)
Depends on your jungle clear speed. If you and your roamer can farm minions fast enough to go to shop, go shop 2 T1 defences, then go for an early invade. With those defences, you will be hard to kill but you can still do decent damage. Otherwise, farm up safely and avoid fights.
When you get your
Stormcrown, you will find it very easy to farm minions. This increases your jungle clear speed and gives you more time to do other stuff, such as ganking lane and invading jungle or taking/sieging objectives. The health and damage from
Stormcrown is also effective when fighting against heroes, as the true damage ignores any amor and shield they have bought. However, this needs to be further supplemented by WP or CP items, otherwise the damage is too meagre later in the game. You should be able to win fights at this stage of the game once you have gotten
Stormcrown.
Mid Game (6:00-12:00)
The Gold Mine has spawned. This will be an objective that you should strive to get to further a gold lead or to come back from a gold deficit due to getting jungle invaded. At this point, you should have finished at least a few more T2 offence and defence items. This makes you more dangerous in teamfights. Target the biggest enemy threat using
X-Retsu, then proceed to autoattack until that hero dies. Save your
Kaiten. Whenever you see the enemy using a high damage or CC ability that will screw you up really bad, use your
Kaiten to help you survive.
This is Taka's power spike. Make good use of it by invading jungle and capturing gold mines to secure a lead, then win with Kraken or just push down the enemy base.
Late game (12:00+)
At this point, you should have completed at least 1 T3 defence. This means you also have some utility for your team. If you have a
Fountain of Renewal, make sure to stagger the use of yours and the roamer's
Fountain of Renewal so that you can maximise the heal output. If you get
Atlas Pauldron, target the most dangerous enemy with the highest attack speed with
X-Retsu, then tap
Atlas Pauldron. This makes your
Atlas Pauldron difficult to block, possibly slowing the enemy enough so they are not a damage threat, allowing you to finish him off while keeping you team alive.
Hopefully this guide has helped you learn more about Taka. And git gud in your Taka adventures.
