3
Celeste Very squishy. Use Kaiten to close the gap/engage. Just be cautious when hiding in a brush that has her Star in it.
4
Ardan Find an opportunity if possible, to Kaiten out of the ULT barrier (if the carry runs away ofc)
4
Kestrel Kestrel's stealth might be a problem if she's building crystal. Also when she uses her B, don't run straight.
4
Skaarf
5
Baptiste Try to avoid his A if he's building crystal. Also Kaiten out of the "cage" of his B.
5
Baron Avoid the A at all cost even if its Crystal or Weapon build. Use X-Retsu to engage/close the gap.
5
Fortress Fortress is a good diver. Same as Flicker, don't let him catch you off-guard.
5
Grace Grace's A will slow you, Kaiten over her B. Make sure you've killed your target before she uses ULT to heal her ally.
5
Grumpjaw Don't get eaten. His A will slow you.
5
Gwen Don't get kited and don't get stunned either. Use surprise to take her out (X-Retsu)
5
Kensei Kensei might be tanky if built properly so I recommend taking him out first.
5
Kinetic Not enough information yet, but judging from her low defense, she might be easy to take out.
5
Lance Becareful of Lance's A and B. Don't let him predict your movements or you'll be rooted. And don't let his B smash you to the wall.

Adagio His A will slow you so becareful about that. Kaiten over his ULT.
6
Blackfeather Might be a bit of a threat if he's able to keep you at bay (crowd control with his B, that is).
6
Catherine Kaiten over her A pls. And her ULT too.
6
Idris Idris is very fast. So probably you might to take him out first.
6
Joule Attack from behind to avoid her "natural" armour.

Alpha Not much of a threat but just becareful to not get kited. Kaiten over her ULT.
7
Churnwalker His A will hinder your ability to become invisible. So becareful too.
7
Flicker He can catch you off-guard if you're not cautious. I you're caught in his B then maybe you should disengage.
7
Koshka Koshka is really fast. So make sure you've activated your Shiversteel to make sure she can't run away fast enough.

Lyra

Glaive Since you're playing weapon, playing against Glaive will be a very different case. This build will sustain you in a fight.

Krul Now Krul is different. Since your attacks are based on basic attacks, he'll be able to stick to you. So remember to build Atlas Pauldron to counter his.

Weapon Taka becomes more viable!! Yay!!! Top

(Disclaimer! I'm not as good as you may think in WP Taka playstyle. So I'm still and willing to learn.)

So as you probably know, Taka has been receiving some really bad nerfs on his abilities. His X-Retsu has been reduced alot in terms of Crystal Ratio over the last 2 major updates (3.2 to 3.4). But then on the recent update (3.4 and 3.5), he got a new Weapon Ratio on his X-Retsu (100% WP ratio to 120%).

Ok ok. some might say that WP Taka has been viable since his release. Ok that is true, but there's a "catch".
WP Taka is harder to play and master compared to CP Taka due to his squishiness. Also, some might say that CP Taka deals more damage than WP Taka in terms of assassination process.

Weapon Taka's kit Top

It's obvious that the playstyle of WP Taka is different than CP Taka. Weapon Taka focuses more on Basic Attack Damage so Weapon stuffs is to be built on him. In terms of using ability, WP Taka is similiar to CP Taka. Kaiten to dodge stuns/heavy attacks. X-Retsu is used for closing the gap. But Kaku is a little slightly different. WP Taka focuses on Weapon Damage so basically you just keep basic attacking while occasionally using X-Retsu and Kaiten.

Also, WP Taka has a better early game than CP Taka, unless you build Crystal Bits on him early game.
So overall, WP Taka is not bad. Players like Gattorex managed to nailed it so I don't think its impossible.
