Introduction Top
Hey guys! I'm Yuki, and this is the first build I've ever made. It's also for my main,
Taka Whenever I solo-queue, I usually see players who are very confident in using
Taka, and lock into him almost immediately. But, whenever the game starts going, I see that the
Taka isn't used in a very efficient way. Especially when I'm playing as a tank, such as
Catherine or
Glaive. While I'm taking in all the damage from the opposing team, the
Taka would usually ditch me, almost as if afraid to die, even though
Taka can be so scary, and can end an opponents life almost instantly. These kinds of situations get me very frustrated, so I wanted to post the build I usually use when I play
Taka, and the order I build it in. You may have noticed that this build comes with no armor at all, which will make Taka very fragile, so be sure to think twice before you decide to burst into a fight. Since this is a build only I may prefer, feel free to give any feedback and criticism on how the build can be put to use even more efficiently! I hope you guys will find my build very useful during your game play.
At the beginning of the game, before you leave your base, you will want to get
Ironguard Contract, two
Halcyon Potions, and a
Scout Trap. Definitely get a
Scout Trap if you know your team is going in for a jungle fight! The
Scout Trap will give you a health advantage, and the
Halcyon Potions will keep you alive longer.
Ironguard Contract will help you earn more money for your build, and since
Taka doesn't clear camps as fast as other heroes, it's very effective.
Get Immediately Top
As
Taka, you want to try to jungle as much as possible, and get to level 6 before the gold mine is almost full! With a
Weapon Blade,
Blazing Salvo and
Sprint Boots, you can clear very quickly and hurry onto your next camp before the enemy steps into your jungle. This also works for invading enemy jungle, definitely start building your boots if you ever decide to. Once you reach level 6 before the gold mine is full, and you happen to come across the enemy already eating away at the gold miner, You can box your way to the gold miner without the enemy ever knowing and kill steal for the gold with
X-Retsu.
Early Game Top
During early game, you want to already start building
Tension Bow by buying
Piercing Spear and
Six Sins.
Tension Bow is very lethal, especially if your opponent isn't building any defense yet, and you can use it for the scares! After you've gotten
Tension Bow, start earning gold to buy
Travel Boots. Because
Taka is an assassin and is very, very, fragile, he needs to be able to weave in and out of fights very quickly and efficiently, that is also why you want to keep at least two
Halcyon Potions with you at all times. When you're getting chased down, quickly go into your box and take unusual paths, or a path opposite of your enemies, to get them off your tail!
Core Items Top
Your core items during mid game should be
Tension Bow,
Travel Boots,
Tornado Trigger,
Sorrowblade, and three
Halcyon Potions. Be sure that they are built in this order!
Tornado Trigger and
Sorrowblade will deal some heavy damage against the enemies, including
Tension Bow, which will give you a health advantage if you manage to get the first hit in to scary your enemies!
Final Build Top
At your final build, you should already have
Tension Bow,
Travel Boots,
Tornado Trigger, and
Sorrowblade. Be sure to build
Tyrant's Monocle next, to get some crits in! Do
NOT start building
Serpent Mask. Do not buy any tier 1 or tier 2 items to build
Serpent Mask. Keep
Halcyon Potions for your sixth slot until you have 2,800 gold coins to afford
Serpent Mask. The
Halcyon Potions will keep your health up while you're weaving in and out of battles, especially while you're in hiding to wait for your next kill to come.
