Krul You cant just kill him that easily so your only option is to kite him
2
Lyra Her b ability will slow you down to kill her but isn't that hard to kill her
2
Reim hard to face in early game but scales off later in late game
3
Idris use Ur a ability to deny his ult (his ult is about 3 seconds so time it)
3
Blackfeather his poke is annoying and his hard to react but if your reaction time is like mine(or better) you will know where his poke is going to be
4
SAW Keep in mind that his passive gives more attack speed based his Armor and Shield
4
Fortress His wolfs can smell you and attack you. just like petal but they wont do that much damage
4
Ardan Beaware of his dammage. When he single ults you(lolol)use kaku then reflex block to get out of there without the enemy knowing
5
Gwen a good matchup her a reveals taka even when stealth but shouldnt take much trouble
5
Catherine cant do much when she has her sheild up so dont attack unless its down
6
Taka WHO HAS THE BETTER BUILD well its usually you :p
6
Vox Vox is top priority since he can go lethal and dominate your team in a teamfight
6
Lance if he knows how to predict where your going to box then you lost but u can make him look like a noob by dougeing his a ability
6
Ozo Try and isolate yourself from your teammates if hes near you
7
Samuel His sustain and kite is annoying so try and outsustain him by useing x-retsu on him

9
Koshka If she ults you then use kaiten or reflex block.i see alot of low elo use kaku when she ults a taka
9
Rona She has tons of lifesteal and her passive gets more attackspeed based on her energy.so fight her if shes at low energy to minimize her attackspeed
9
Glaive try invadeing this guy earlygame since his dammage mainly comes out from his core items a sorrowblade and a tryant
9
Alpha Isolate yourself from yourteammates but she can make you come together
10
Flicker His slow is annoying try and have a few scouttraps in the map to slow him down
10

Vainglory info Top

Defence Item choice Top

Aegis Is a simple defencesive item. It allows surviability, Some light defence, And reflex block. I prefer Aegis if the enemy team has alot of crystal power items, Or if the enemy has alot of crowd control(stuns,slows,hooks, etc). Stats:
2250 Gold
Reflex block(35 secs)
125 Sheild
30 Armor
200 Max health


Tired of not being able to survie Kestrel arrow? Does that alpha sucide bomber move annoying and does 2 much damage? Well slumbering husk is for you. With slumbering husk you can survie huge burst of damage only taking a minimum damage. Here are the stats:
1600 Gold
Passive:Taking 20% of your max health in damage over 1.5s fortifies your remaining health for 1.5s (35s cooldown).
400 Health


WaNt that useless 0-12 ringo to be even more useless? Or tired of there rona Dealing 300 damage per auto attack. Well then the metal jacked is for you. What unquie about metal jacker is that you can buy two of these. Metal jacket is a solid defence item and should be bought almost always unless enemy has mostly crystal power. Stats:
170 armor
35 Sheild

Taka abilitys Top

Taka Passive House Kamuha Every 5 seconds, Taka's next basic attack is replaced with a Mortal Strike. Mortal Strikes deal 40 (+30% weapon ratio) bonus damage and grant Taka a burst of move speed. Whenever Taka Mortal Strikes or uses an ability, he gains a stack of Ki, which speeds up his Mortal Strike timer by 0.9 secs and grants 20% cooldown speed. (5 Ki stacks max.) Ki stacks last 12 seconds before they are reset.

Taka A ability Kaiten Taka flips over his target, cutting it with his switchblade. Taka is invulnerable to damage & debuffs while in mid-air.
Damage:100/165/230/295/360 (80% Crystal Ratio)

Taka B ability Kaku Taka throws a smoke bomb at his feet, vanishing from enemy sight and gaining move speed. This illusion ends early if he strikes a target or he takes direct damage. Turrets and Flare Guns can still see Taka. This ability heals Taka while he is invisible.
Speed Boost: 1.25/1.25/1.25/1.25/1.25
Duration: 3.0/3.2/3.4/3.6/4.0
Heal/sec: 25/40/55/70/100(25% Crystal Ratio)

Taka C ability X-Retsu Taka bursts through his target, carving an X with his switchblades for lethal damage. The target suffers a mortal wound, reducing its healing by 50% and taking damage per second over the next 3 seconds. The wound's duration is refreshed whenever Taka mortal strikes this target. Grants bonus Ki stacks upon use based on number of ability points in X-Retsu.
Damage: 250/400/550 (170% Crystal Ratio)
Damage/sec: 40/50/60(70% Crystal Ratio)

Roam Synergy Top

Ill rate the hero from 1-5

5. Ardan is very useful because his ult can separate enemy making it easier to kill the enemy since Taka like to punish isolated enemy and Ardan is perfect for that. Ardan shield is also nice to have when your in Kaku form since it will give you insane mobility and some tank

5. Fortress is very good on engageing and disengageing since hes a offensive roamer. His lockdown(a ability) is super useful on Taka since it gives Taka more stick potenital. Fortress ult can check if enemy are group up or isolated and is able to isolate enemys. Fortress b ability provides bleed and Taka ult can also bleed making both of ther DOT(damage over time) broken.

5. Flicker is mainly helping Taka get to the back lines then run from the front lines. Like Fortress flicker has very good engageing and disengageing. Flicker ult can help Taka either go iin a fight or escape a fight saving Taka Kaku. Flicker has tons of cc giving Taka huge stick potenital

4.Phinn is able to isolate enemeys but he can make them isolated for a long time. Phinn can either isolate the front lines and isolateing the back lines. Phinn ult can pull either the front lines or back lines by pulling them isolateing them. Since phinn abilitys are all cc they can make it harder or even impossible to group up together and even if they do Taka will prob kill the back lines.

4. lance has tons of lockdown and is good at engageing and disengageing. Lance has huge damage output making Lance and Taka Insanely strong. Taka and Lance are also fairly mobile since Taka abilitys are all utility offensive based and Lance has 2 mobility abilitys. If a lance catches a enemy with his a ability then Taka will only have to ult then auto attack.

3. Catherine is know to interupt(rude) Enemeys and absorb damage only to reflect 90% of the damage. Catherine has huge Engageing and disengageing potential. But there are many cons on her. First off her Lock down isn't really good since her only lock down is a stun and Taka relys on lockdown to kill an enemy in seconds. Second her stick potenital is also bad since again her stun is usually a one time or twice use.

2.Adagio is known for giving buffs for his allys. Adagio can be useful, because he has nice stick potential(a ability) but other then that adagio isn't useful when working with Taka. Adagio provides free heals but Taka has a free heal. He also has a stun but the stun has a long cooldown. If your a roamer and your jungler is a Taka i don't recmend picking Adagio.

1.Lyra is a utility support. Lyra can provide heals and is somewhat decent at engageing and disengasgeing. Lyra heal does not work well with Taka's box. Lyra b ability is somewhat ok? And her ult is sooooo useless because Taka has a free teleport

Be smart,play smart Top

Tips and tricks on how to improve with Taka
1)Tired of wasteing space just to buy reflex block? Use your Kaiten to block high powerful attacks/High cc attacks.
2)Your Ultimate Grants mortal wounds on enemys reduceing healing and health regen. Use this at the same time they are going to do a huge heal(like krul b ability or adagio a ability)
3)Use Kaku,reflex block,and boots all at the same time, You will be like a ninja.
4)you can be damage while mis ult
5)Kaku heals more for your missing health
6)scout traps can see you
7)this isn't really a taka tip but if an enemy is in the same bush as you but they are invisible then your health bar will appear more brighter
8)practice practice practice

How to improve(Some Lessons) Top

If you are trying to improve with Taka then skip this but if you want to be a Master/God at Taka then i recommend reading these lessons and doing them. Each time you complete the lesson you can go to more complicated lessons. Starting with bacic lessons then going to complicated lessons. Remember that this training requires lots of free time.

Unit 1: Kaiten dodging

Practice 1:For this you need 5 clockworks and one halcyon chargers. Wait until kraken appears. When he appears try to dodge his attacks. Focus on his attacks and not your cool down or how much damage you do.(Do this about one time)

Practice 2:For this you need 5 clockwork and one halcyon chargers. Try and dodge the the attacks from the jungle monsters. When fighting the treant focus on his attack animation. When fighting the small jungle monsters then focus on how long there attack is.(try doing this at least 20-30 times)

Practice 3: Time for using this Dodging training into good use. Go into a casual match and try prioritize enemy strongest or most effective ability and dodging it.(try doing this at least 5 times)

Practice 4: The final test. Ask 3 of yours friends to play a private match with you. Your friends can play the following:Baron,adagio,Taka,Koshka,ringo,phinn,grumpjaw,riem,glavie,etc. Ask them to get level 6 and meet you at the middle. Tell them to ult you all at once. Try and focus when to kaiten since you can block all there damage at the same time.(Try doing this at least 3 times)

You Have Completed the Taka Dodgeing Unit

Unit 2:Reaction time and Predictions useing Kaku
(Reaction time)
Practice 1:Go on Human Benchmark test and try to get a reaction time of 250 Mile seconds or lower On average.(Try doing this at least 20 times)

Practice 2: Go play a casual or blitz mode and try useing Kaku after they used an ability on you.(Try doing this at least 50 times)

(Prediction time)
Practice 3:Play Tic tac toe with a friend. Try beating them or getting a tie.if you lose you have to start over(Do this practice 20 times, If you get a tie don't count that as a win but you do not have to start over)

Practice 4:Play rock paper scissors with a friend. Try Predicting what there next move will be. Try beating them or getting a tie. If you lose you have to start over(do this practice 5-10 times, if you get a tie don't count that as a win but you do not have to start over)

Practice 5:Hop into a casual match and whenever you get caught in the enemy jungle use of your only form of escape. Try to think of where the enemy will go, and think of where are the unusual places are in the map to be in.(try and do this about 30 times)

Unit 3:Wall Hopping useing Kaiten or X-retsu

Practice 1:Place scout traps on where all of the jungle monsters are and try using X-retsu between you and the jungle monster.(Try and do this about 100 times,Not even hard)

Practice 2:Go in a casual game and put scout traps all over the map. limit how much jungle monster you kill late game since its usually your only form of escape if you do not have Kaku
(DANGER)
Practice 3:Place scout traps on where all of the jungle monsters are and try using Kaiten between you and the jungle monster.this may seem impossible but you just need good positioning.(try doing this 10 times)

Practice 4:Now to put this in good use. Try using this streagy to easily get in a fight without wasting time going to the fight(try doing this about 3 times)

And thats it really :p
