Threat Hero Notes
1
 Skaarf But not really... Just don't let him burn you and then enter chase. Still, you can go invisible and yeah, Skaarf isn't really a problem.

4
 Ringo Don't solo Ringo unless it's an ambush. Just walking up to him and fighting him isn't a good idea. You might win, but you're better off playing it safe and starting with Kaiten or attacking out of Kaku.
5
 Joule Getting stunned or being targeted by Joule in a team fight is unfortunate. You want to make sure another person is targeting Joule or she already has some damage if you're going to fight her.
5
 Adagio You WILL lose a fight against Adagio if you are not ambushing or he has high health and you're trying to solo him. Don't try to fight Adagio straight-up. Maybe you'll win if their build is awful/you have more gear farmed already but if it's an even playing field you probably won't win.

 Catherine Arguably Taka's most general and constant counter. It's hard to make a build that let's you beat Catherine, so just avoid her unless there is a team member with you.
10
 Krul Do. Not. Solo. Krul. Even if he is low on health, he will use Smite and you will lose. You have been warned.

General Top

Not a lot to say here. Use the bushes as much as possible, and let the enemy work on the Kraken until you can X-Retsu for the kill. Then use Kaku and get out. You must have flares ready if you're going to ambush Kraken. Item-wise, your priorities are Tornado Trigger and Crucible. My favorite choice of the "Final Items" is probably Void Battery, but they're all decently viable. If you don't use Boots (although it is highly recommended,) you should keep Flares at the ready. Then, replace them with a piercing item for End-Game. If you have comments, concerns, or questions, ask me! And just to be clear, this is -- of course -- a jungle build.
P.S. I am relatively new to this website, go easy on me if something is formatted incorrectly.
