3
Phinn Nothing to truly worry about except his ult which you can escape from pretty easily.
4
Adagio Just watch out for his ultimate stun and you should be fine. You can kaiten him if you time it right and ignore the stun.
4
Taka Most Takas go with CP or 4 WP items. You have an advantage because you can take more and still deal significant damage.
4
Blackfeather He is the ultimate tag player. He can chase you wherever you go. He also has a great poke that you should watch out for at range.
5
Skaarf Don't stand in fire kids. Skaarf's ultimate is easy to avoid with a kaiten then a reflex block.
5
Celeste All you need to worry about it heliogenesis and to remember that it also gives her vision.
5
Fortress Doge sees all. If he has the Christmas Skin you're screwed.
5
Kestrel The best way to counter her is to be very agile and remember where she uses her stealth so you aren't stunned.
5
Ardan You can kaiten in and out of his gauntlet. Just remember his shield can damage you and he can heal himself when you attack him.
5
Reim RIP your mobility. His abilities are aoe so make sure your not bunched together with you team.
6
Glaive Watch out for turrets. Turrets will annihilate you until you have your second defensive item.
6
Vox He can be dealt with pretty easily if you don't let him get out of range of x-retsu. Since he has the shortest range of a range character he isn't terribly hard to deal with.
6
Skye X-retsu is very good at quickly get out of her ultimate. Make sure you stay out of her forward barrage because that will burn you.
6
Ozo One way to deal with him is to use his ultimate as a double edged sword. If you are in the middle of the jungle and you are targeted for an ult, run behind the kraken/gold miner. Also remember he has increased healing. His combo can be deadly as well.
7
Koshka Her stun is the biggest problem. If she stuns you, you have a very high chance of being focused by her allies. If Koshka is on the other team make sure to enter the fight last.
7
Petal When you hear the monions exploding, run. Petal can be a pain in the butt for any melee champion in general with those monions.
7
Catherine Don't 1v1 her. Even if you win you lose because she will have build up her armor and defense from stunning you so many times. Also her silence will rend you very vulnerable, because you will not have an easy escape route.
8
SAW Similar to Ringo except you can wait out his weapon speed stacks with kaku.
8
Rona Imagine you're a dagger and she's a machete. You can conceal a dagger, but it doesn't do as much compared to a machete when it comes to damage.
9
Ringo If you can't keep the gap closed between Ringo and you you're going to have a terrible game.
9
Joule RIP your stacks if she lands on you. Make sure to kaiten her laser or x-retsu to a minion while she uses her laser or else your RIP.
10
Krul You will not beat him in a basic attack race, just play guerilla for a while.

Introduction Top

So you want to learn how to play WP Taka, or maybe you know how to play Taka and just came here for the build. Well this guide is for both explaining some of the core functions of Taka and how to play with the build as well as explaining why I have each item. With this guide you will be better than 99%* of the Takas you find in solo queue.




*Not a guaranteed number. Also if you take the time to read his skills you will be better than 80% of them.

Who is Taka? Top

Taka is a jungler that relies on guerrilla tactics and weaving in and out of combat. Taka is the hero that is always in meta no matter how many times SEMC decides to nerf/"rework" him because everyone wants to be Taka. If you are one of the lucky people who doesn't land a match with an instalocking Taka than congratulations. You have taken your first steps in becoming one of the best Taka players. The second step is to realize you are competing with hundreds of thousands of other Taka players because everyone on Android has a free Taka. Don't worry, your original though. You have his tier 1 skin, oh wait, so does everyone else. Taka has a wide range of abilities such as a reflex block, a panic button and a teleport. This makes Taka very good a surviving if you play him right.

Abilities Top

In this section we're going over how you can use your abilities to there best potential.


- This ability will be a short range gap closer and your reflex block. Don't just spam it like some Takas do. Use it carefully in team fights and think about the consequences of using it only as a damage burst. That's not to say you shouldn't use it as a damage burst, but you should think before you use it. An example of a good time to use it is right before Adagio's ultimate is done being casted.


- NEVER ENTER A FIGHT IN KAKU. You will have no escape route or way to safely wait for your cooldowns to be done. Also usually people have full health when they start a fight so why would you waste bonus health like that? Kaku is excellent for escaping and just playing guerilla.


- This is your opener. You should open with this because not only does it instantly give you 3 stacks of Ki, but it mortally wounds your target reducing their healing received and applying a DOT. This is great for a focus target as well because their teammate won't be able to be healed as effectively/ Every time you hit them with a mortal wound it resets as well so you can potentially keep it on them the entire fight. THis is also an amazing gap closer and is overall a very good ability.

Items Top


- This is just base WP and is overall just a good item for this build. It also increases you Mortal Strike's damage.


- This is to give you an edge in the early game. Being relatively cheap and with a great perk this item will help you deal so massive damage to those unarmored opponents. It is optional that once you have all the items you want to sell tension bow for another item because tension bow's bonuses don't live up to what you may want late late game.


- Breaking point is very good on Taka because Taka gets speed every time he lands a Mortal Strike. This makes it easy for Taka to catch up to opponents and keep his breaking point going. Alternatively this can be swapped out for Bonesaw if you want to play more of a team role or if your opponent is building lots of armor.


- Duh


- I personally like Aegis in this slot compared to other options. If you're facing a team with a decent item compositions (1WP, 1CP, 1UT) then I don't see the point in getting Crucible for extra health. I would rather have some shield and get some bonus armor from it as well. I prefer Aegis over Fountain of Renewal in this build because of the reflex block on Aegis is in my eyes more worth it. I can see a build where you replace Aegis with Fountain of Renewal if you become really good at using your Kaiten as a reflex block.


- This item is really good against some of your higher threats, (SAW, Ringo, Krul, Rona), as most of those characters go weapon power. Also raw armor is very good because they tend to go for more speed and you don't want to be annihilated by a Ringo with tons of weapon speed because you had no armor. Atlas Pauldron is also extremely good for Taka when dealing with high weapon speed attackers. You can just teleport to your selected target and debuff them with it. The only downside to Atlas Pauldron is that is has less armor and shield, but against some team compositions it's worth it.
