Why Shadow Assassin? Top

Blink and his gone!!As a ninja trained hero Taka use Kaku to disappear from his opponents eyes this also gain him some boost of speed. He can kill you without even knowing it thus I call him my Taka the shadow assassin.

It is important that we know that is the role of the hero that we are using. Taka cannot it the king of the jungle(for me) it means he can dominate the jungle and level up as early as possible by hunting the monsters. This also means that his is responsible for keeping tab of the opponents, plant some Scout Trap on the jungle your side and on the opponents side to see their movements. If you feel that the opponents cannot be seen on the map you will also need to use Flare Gun. Never expose him in the battle field during the early game, exposing him means death. But this does not mean leaving your team on the lane and focusing to much on the jungle. You can sneak up on the lane from time to time to help your team but do not start a fight on the lane alone.

Early game Top

I use Energy Battery and Pot as my initial item. This will help him use his ability more often to earn more gold and level up as soon as possible. I also bring Pot for extra regen of life and mana. Leveling up as early us possible and gaining more golds as well as getting the ultimate ability is crucial in every battle so I suggest level him up as soon as you can to start building his core item.

Mid game Top

I use Tension Bow as my first weapon item following with Sprint Boots, Void Battery, Heavy Prism and Heavy Steel. Why this build, since I prefer Taka as a weapon hero Tension Bow shred 15% of it's attack to opponents armor pair it with Heavy Steel that add additional weapon power and a bit of crystal power from Heavy Prism is dangerous in the mid game.

But this build is still depends on how you play Taka. Taka is good for ganking and sneaking on the lanes to end the opponents life. Never start a fight on the lane and always wait for a the right opportunity to use your ultimate. Always remember you are a shadow assassin.

Core items Top

For me the core items is insane. Specially if you are used to using Taka. The items is a combination of weapon and crystal build with the added weapon power from Sorrowblade and the added 25 crystal life steal from Eve of Harvest as well as the shield and armor from Aegis plus the critical damages from Tyrant's Monocle is enough to dominate the battle.

You can also use the alternative core as you see fit.


Thank you.
