Abilities Top

House Kamuha
Slot: Heroic Perk
Every 5 seconds, Taka's next basic attack is replaced with a Mortal Strike. Mortal Strike deal critical damage and grants Taka a burst of move speed. Whenever Taka uses Mortal Strike or an ability, he gains a stack of Ki, which speeds up his Mortal Strike timer by 0.9 secs and grants 25% cooldown acceleration. (5 Ki stacks max)

Always try and keep your Ki stacks at max, they are your biggest advantage.
Kaiten
Slot: A
Taka flips over his target, cutting it with his switchblade. Taka doesn't take damage while in mid-air.

Kaiten is a great way to avoid large amounts of damage. Learn to time your jumps perfectly and you can avoid damages like Adagio's ultimate.
Kaku
Slot: B
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 takes direct damage. Turrets, Scout Traps and Flare Guns will see Taka while invisible. This ability heals Taka for while he is invisible.

When you start out jungling use this to maintain your Ki stacks. (Note: only do this if the other team isn't invading your jungle). When ganking, use Kaku to sneak up on the enemy.
X-Retsu
Slot: C
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.

Always try and start a fight with this, especially if you are low on Ki stacks. The mortal strike will really help late into the fight.

Health Items Top

Crucible
The most useful part of crucible is its reflex block ability. If you can learn to time it right you can escape the majority of damage from ultimates. Always remember that Taka is fragile.
Atlas Pauldron
Build if your opponents are building high attack speed. Lots of small bits of damage will add up to a lot of damage over time. Even with this don't spend too much time in combat, their teammates are sure to be more powerful.
Aegis
When facing enemies like Catherine and Koshka great to have so that you don't get affected by debuffs. Also great when your opponents have high crystal power.
Shiversteel
If your opponents have high movement speed then this will allow you to keep them near you.
Metal Jacket
When your opponents build high weapon power this is very good to have.

CP Battle Strategy Top

Start off in the jungle. Rack up as much money as you can from creeps as fast as you can. If you have a supporter on your team, such as Catherine or Ardan, hope that they are smart enough to buy Ironguard Contract. If not don't worry, your Hourglass will allow you to keep using your abilities. Keep jungling till you reach level 8. At level 8 your Kaiten will be free to use. This is when you will spend most of your time ganking in the lane. Remember: always help in the lane whenever possible. Make stops to the shop whenever you have enough money. When you are in the lane, unless the enemy know you are already there, don't show yourself unless you know you're safe. As the game progresses the enemy team will be getting stronger as well. Due to this stay with your team as much as possible. If in a team fight and you're low on health, try to sneak away and take out a health creep, then rejoin the fight if it's winnable. Dying isn't the end of the world, so try and help your teammates if possible. As the game progresses you will be pushing into the enemies base so you should save your Kaku for escape. If you're attacking with the Kraken stay behind it so that it gets damaged while you do more damage. If an enemy starts attacking the Kraken take them out even at the risk of being targeted by a turret. You can always escape later and heal, the Kraken can't.
