Threat Hero Notes
1
 Petal One trick pony with her ult. Avoid her munions if you aren't going right at her.
2
 Adagio No threat. Watch out for ult and slow.
2
 Ardan Tank support. Ignore and take out the carries.
2
 Ringo Easy to burst down. Might want to target.
2
 Skaarf Abilities are avoidable. Easy to take down if you can.
3
 Fortress Tanky support. You can take him out surprisingly quick early game. Don't give him opportunities.
3
 Krul No problem for bursty Taka. Large bursts are his weakness.
3
 Rona She's pretty easy to take down if you can avoid her abilities. Try your best to do that and you'll win.
3
 SAW Target first. Hopefully you'll take him down before he does too much damage to you.
4
 Catherine Tank support. Ignore and take out the carries. Well timed stuns can be annoying.
4
 Celeste Use an Aegis or Fountain to counter. If you are prepared and get one early instead of waiting for mid game when you need it you'll have the advantage.
4
 Joule Watch out for ult and stun. Avoidable if you're smart and quick enough.
5
 Taka Initiator or smarter player wins.
6
 Vox A pain in the late game. Gank early and often.
7
 Glaive A great Glaive can Afterburn you while you are boxed and can cause a lot of problems. Other than that, shouldn't be any more of a threat than you are.
8
 Koshka Initiator has the advantage. Try to force into 2v1 situations. At the very least, never go alone. Counter with Aegis or Fountain
9
   No Threat
10

Introduction Top

Rydor1 here bringing you another one of my guides. This one will be on Taka. What I love about Taka is that he can be built in so many different ways. Especially now in 1.7, he can be built WP, CP, tanky, and anywhere in between. As a result, this build is a very loose idea of what you could build. I have given you many options to choose from. There is no single best build with Taka. There are only builds that are better situationally. This build takes advantage of counterbuilding, so know how to do so when leaving for the Fold. If you don't know how to counterbuild, luckily I'm gonna tell you. Have fun reading!

My other guides:
Fortress: King of the Jungle
Koshka: Krazy Killer Kitty
Krul: Might of the Smite

Counterbuilding Top

WP>Tanky>CP>WP

An all CP team will beat an all WP team 99.999999999999% of the time. If you are facing an all WP team, build CP. If you are facing an all CP team, build a lot more defense early. If you are facing multiple tanks, build WP. If you are facing a mixed CP and WP team, watch for the defense items they build, or lack thereof. If the carries don't have any defense by the time you have to make your choice AND your laner is building WP, build CP. It might take a lot of memorization, but this is how I decide between building CP or WP.

Each defense item has a different purpose. Aegis and Fountain of Renewal counter CP, Atlas Pauldron and Metal Jacket counter WP, and Crucible is a balanced, all-purpose item. If you are facing CP, tanky>CP so build a lot of defense early such as Fountain of Renewal, Aegis, and Crucible. If you are facing WP, CP>WP so build Atlas Pauldron or Crucible, but focus more on CP. If you are facing mixed or tanks, build Crucible and lean more towards WP.
