Threat Hero Notes
1
Ringo Ringo deals a lot of damage but can easily be eliminated when over-extending or caught off alone.
1
Skaarf Skaarf is an easy target to pick off if he extends a little too far. Be cautious with his goop as it can slow you down when trying to escape or attack.
2
Kestrel Kestrel can really put some damage on taka but with a little stealth approaching and a couple of strikes she is easily killed.
2
Celeste Catherine is very similar to Kestrel, deals a fair amount of damage but can easily be killed.
2
Petal Petal's munions can be a bit annoying but if you use kaku you can directly target her, sneak up and easily kill her.
3
  No Threat
4
Vox Vox can be a threat when on the offensive side as his reflecting damage can reach a fair distance. Best to wait in a bush and strike at the right time.
4
Adagio Adagio is similar to vox but has some extra health that you must take away. Avoid being slowed down by his ability.
4
Fortress Fortress can be a threat when running away since he can keep up fairly easy. Be cautious.
5
Blackfeather Blackfeather is a threat mid-game as his attacks can reach a fair distance. Keep your distance and wait for the opportune time to attack.
6
Skye Avoid her forward barrage and suri strike and you can easily take her down. Use kaiten to avoid them.
6
Phinn Phinn can be a threat as his abilities can prevent you from fleeing and his forced accord ultimate will surely be unpleasant.
6
Ardan Avoid being trapped in his gauntlet. Taka can use Kaku to remain hidden for a couple of seconds to buy time.
6
Koshka Koshka is fairly similar to you, except she is crystal power. Analyze her build and make sure you have the right items before you pick a fight. If she uses her catnip frenzy ultimate in a team fight you are surely dead. Otherwise attack and she will easily fall.
7
Rona Rona can kill you without much effort if you are caught off guard, always have the first hit and use Kaku if necessary for another surprise attack.
7
Glaive Glaive deals a lot of damage at a constant rate throughout the match, analyze his build and decide whether you will outlast a battle with him. Taka has the surprise advantage to get the first hit so use it wisely.
7
Joule Joule deals a good amount of damage, be careful when 1vs1 in the jungle if you are not equipped with the right items. During late games she is fairly an easy target to take out due to her slower attacks, as long as you don't get caught in her ultimate.
7
Catherine Catherine's stun and silencer are things to watch out for in team fights as you wont be able to go stealth once you are out. Be cautious of her bubble as well as it might do more damage to you than you to her.
8
Taka Taka can be a threat as well, seeing as how he can deal a significant amount of damage to you. Pick your battles wisely.
8
SAW Saw can be deadly mid game to late game with his stacks as he can quickly drain your health. It is best to approach him with X-Retsu followed by Kaiten and a basic attack. If saw is still standing use Kaku to stop his stacks and resume to deliver the final blow (more effective if your teammate stuns him
9
Krul When playing against krul, it is best to invade and pick fights early game. Have caution during mid game and late game battles. Purchase an Atlas Pauldron to slow down his stacks. I go about and use X-Retsu with a strike and then use Kaku to hide, only to strike again with Kaiten followed by a basic attack

Introduction Top

Taka is a deadly jungle assassin and is a perfect hero for you if you like being a stealthy fox. Or if you just like sneaking up on unsuspecting heroes and killing them.

He is similar to Koshka but at the same time the opposite since she is usually crystal power instead of weapon power. Keep in mind Taka is also quite squishy so the key is to be strategically stealthy.

Getting to know your Abilities



KAMUHA

Every 5 seconds, Taka's next basic attack is replaced with a Mortal Strike. Mortal Strikes deal 40 (+25% weapon ratio) bonus damage and grant Taka a burst of move speed. Keep on eye on your heroic perk to know when to strike at the correct moment. If you see an enemy hero nearby, run and hide with Kaku and go for the strike but be cautious on who you are attacking.


KAITEN

Taka flips over his target, cutting it with his switchblade. Taka is invulnerable to damage & damage while in mid-air. This is a great ability to use when you are in dangerous situations or need to secure a kill. You can use this move to possibly dodge ultimates from hero enemies if timed right.

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. This ability is perfect for when sneaking up on an a fleeing enemy. It is also great for dangerous situations such as Ardan's gauntlet to remain hidden while in the gauntlet.

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. Use this ability to reach distant enemies or to gank lane and follow it with Kaiten and a basic attack for maximum damage output. You can also use this to escape if used properly, (Example: use it on a minion farthest from you to create more distance between you and enemy if your Kaku is still cooling down and it is necessary.


As Taka you should always focus on getting as much farm possible.

-

Early Game (Lvl 1-6) Top

During the early game it is important to remain close to your support tank. It's crucial to collect as much gold as possible towards your Tension Bow Once you reach level 6 you should get X-Retsu and combined with your Tension bow, you start becoming a lethal weapon.

With these items you can start to gank the enemy laner more easily. Keep an eye on the mini map for opportunities.

Mid Game (Lvl 6-10) Top

During mid game you are more lethal as you have all your abilities to flee or gank enemy heroes. During this time it is important to keep an eye on lane to see if your teammate needs help or if you see an opportunity. At this point you also become lethal to invade enemy jungle territory. If all three enemy heroes are at lane you can quickly steal enemy farm and return in time to deliver finishing strikes. Have caution when taking enemy farms with enemy heroes nearby. Avoid Catherine's stun by using Kaku and fleeing away or to return and strike.

It is important to keep gaining gold to complete your build and also keep an eye on the enemy team's build to see whether you have to go with a Piercing Spear or Lucky Strike.

Late Game (Lvl 10-12) Top

At this point in time you and your team should be sticking together to prevent from either of you getting caught off guard and getting ganked. During team fights it is important for Taka to stay a safe distance out of harms way and then strike when the enemy least expects it (all this usually happening within 1 second.)

You should have a good understanding of which hero to aim for by this time and should target that hero during team fights. Try not to focus on the enemy support unless you are certain you can secure the kill quickly.

Avoid Catherine's stun or any other enemy stun as carefully as you can as you will be the first to be targeted in most team fights.

Do's and Dont's Top

DO

Stay near your teammates early game and late game.

Wait for the opportunity to strike (patience and timing)

Steal farm when you get the opportunity

Purchase potions to refuel your energy and health

Purchase infusions when you have the extra gold (I usually purchase crystal infusions, they are great for your kaku ability in recovering health.)

Analyze the enemy team and their build and figure out who you should target in team battles and who you can battle alone.

DONT

Wander to far off by yourself and pick fights early and late game. (Unless you are positive in how to deal with the situation)

Don't rush into a team fight as you will be targeted first. (Be wise and decide whether you should use kaku to sneak up or if you will need it to escape)
