5
 Glaive Glaive Can Kill You. * With Good teamwork, glaive can stun you into a fatal position, in which if stunned again, you would be if not dead, at very low health.
5
 Adagio Adagio Can Kill You* Try to stay away from Adagio, unless you can close the gap quickly. When fighting an adagio, attack him using skills and such, until he goes out of range. You you have X-Retsu, you can chase him, if you don't, he will probably kite you down.
5
 Joule Joule Can Kill You* Joule Should Be Relatively Easy, A CP Joule is more dangerous, because of her Lazorz. Try to not attack a CP joule when her ultimate is active. Because you're a melee type, you will Take a lot of damage.
5
 Krul Krul Can Kill You* Krul is an OK matchup. That is, only if he knows how to use his SwordThrow. If you can dodge that, just keep poking him down, and use Kaku to run away if you're low. If you can't take Krul, try running away early on if you're on low health, because a good krul can still smite you if you're in their range.
5
 Petal Petal Can Kill You* Beware her minions, and her kiting. You can negate half the damage of her ultimate by timing Kaiten correctly.
5
 Ardan Ardan Can Kill You* try not to be trapped inside his Gauntlet. Other than that, you should be able to take him down, that is, if his punches don't get you.
6
 Skaarf Skarf Can Kill You* Try not to be burned, and stay close.
6
 Taka Taka Can Kill You* Depends on CP or WP. Most Taka's are easily dealt with, because the average Taka build is all damage.
7
 Ringo Ringo Can Kill You* try not to engage, unless ringo can't get away. A good ringo can Achilles shot you, and then kite you down, when you're practically immobile.
7
 SAW Saw Can Kill You* Beware of SAW. Any Saw that can stutter step and use flares correctly will be a pain to kill. A good CP saw will kill you quickly with his Missiles.
8
 Catherine Catherine Can Kill You* Most Tanky Catherine's are a nuisance, as they will keep stunning you, and a good Catherine will be able to stun you, even after you go invisible. Try not to be stunned.
8
 Koshka Koshka Can Kill You* Koshka's Newest buffs make her a formidable opponent, try not to get stunned, and her twirly death stacks will hurt an awful lot. Try stacking your passive, and breaking point before you engage.

Playin Taka With My Build Top

As Taka, if you want to win, focus on Jungling. The faster you can gain your XRetsu the faster you can kill the enemy. If you're level 6 and the enemy team still Dosent have their Ultimates, feel free to invade, as you will most likely kill them. When Jungling, Try an attack pattern of [Hit]-[Kaiten/Flip]-[Hit] by attacking in this pattern you will decrEase the amount of time it takes to kill the creeps.
Although this build may seem too defensive for a Taka, and you're saying that it has too much tankyness, take note that most people expect a squishy Taka, while this Taka can 3v1 and come out victorious(If played correctly)

When Jungling, Try not to wander. By wandering, you waste time that could be used leveling up, killing creeps, and farming money.

I find that boots are unnecessary in the endgame, because Taka's Kaku grants extra speed, and his Ultimate and Kaited are gap closers, which already allow you to stick to your target.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN TRYING MAXIMUM DAMAGE BUILD
P.S. The Maxumim Damage build has the highest possible base damage for Taka. (This does not include the highest possible damage per second rate) Although Extremely Expensive, This build when complete will most likely hit 1200 damage. Who needs Hp or Defense when you regen 400 HP Per Hit?!?!
Also , try not hitting Catherine when her shield is up. Your entire team will likely die. Lol. HER SHIELD = EPIC HAX



Looks Good In Theory Build: Basically, You just X-Retsu, Kaiten, Kaku, then use Warhorns or Journey Boots to run away. When you are low, just repeatedly Kaiten them. This should in theory help you harvest health because they are unable to hurt you. Try not attacking when you don't have Kaku. Also, this build should allow for tower sniping. Use X Retsu, Hit the tower, Kaiten, Hit the tower, and Warhorn away.
Please note this is all theoretical. T.T sounds good in writing though, right?

Notes Top

As strange as a build it may seem, this build is highly underestimated.
The Threats Are Assuming That Each Player Is A Hotness Teir Player.
More Editing Later. I'm lazy.

Please vote, if you have viewed or used this build. Thanks :)
