"Even if I'm the last free creature in Perim, I'll never surrender to the M'arrillians!"
―Takinom, Legions of Aa'une Part 2

Taki

Takinom (Cartoon)

Takinom is an Underworld Creature in the Dawn of Perim set. She was later re-released as Takinom, the Shadowknight in the Rise of the Oligarch set.

Appearance:[]

A female with red bat-like wings who wears an armored breastplate and knee guards. She has yellow skin with dark red markings on her hands, legs, and neck. In the UnderWorld, Takinom is renowned not only for her unyielding nature but also for her manipulative skills. Her sleek female figure framed by powerful wings make her a fearsome airborne warrior in combat.

She receives new armor in Rise of the Oligarch and becomes Takinom the ShadowKnight. A twisted set of black armor now caresses the entirety of her form, leaving only her wings and face free. This form is decorated with red accent, an assortment of jagged spines, and sharp pointed talons.

Background Information[]

Takinom is the UnderWorld’s supreme female fighter. She is second only to Chaor in her fierce, fanatic dedication to UnderWorld domination of Perim. Takinom uses a combination of manipulation, diplomacy and treachery to keep herself in power and maintain her status. Though her temper flares frequently, Takinom also exercises great discipline and self-control. She is Chaor’s most trusted emissary when his own rage cannot be suppressed. Though she spends much of her time in UnderWorld City, she makes her home in a bizarre palace on a high cliff overlooking Fear Valley. Her most hated adversaries are Intress and the rebellious Skithia.

She is an advisor to Chaor and helped him triple cross Lord Van Bloot in Lord of Treachery. She later helped Chaor attack the M'arrillians in UnderWorld Overthrown; this was after she became a Shadowknight.

After Chaor was overthrown by Lord Van Bloot she and some other Underworlds, such as Screamer and Ulmar, escaped to the OverWorld and joined forces with a group of OverWorlders that included Xaerv. This group led by Takinom then attacked Phelphor's troops bringing aid to the team of Danians, Mipedians and other OverWorlders who had been fighting them.

After Phelphor ran, Takinom led her army to Kiru city where they engaged both the M'arrillians and the rest of the brainwashed tribal alliance (excluding Tangath Toborn's team who were at Glacier Plains and Chaor,Maxxor and Iparu who were battling Aa'une ). During the battle Takinom discovered that a majority of her army had been brainwashed but continued to fight until the mind control was broken by Aa'une's death. She became more powerful and even more respected in the Underworld for her heroism.

Takinom was instrumental in reclaiming the Lava Pond from M'arrillian control. Her skills as a leader and warrior were never more apparent.[1]

During the Battle for UnderWorld City, Takinom drove Van Bloot's forces away and helped Chaor reclaim his throne.

In the dungeons beneath the Twisted Palace, Takinom uncovered an ancient Battlegear called the Sinister Statuette. This small, crude statuette of unknown origin appeared to have been buried for eons. Takinom initially concluded that the Statuette had been fashioned by Mugicians during the era of the Giants Past[sic]. However, recent speculation suggests it was actually created by the M'arrillians in time before the Doors to the Deepmines were sealed. It may even depict some kind of Legendary M'arrillian. [1]

Special Abilities:[]

In battle, Takinom is ruthless and relentless. No sacrifice is too great if it will result in victory. Her flying ability gives her a swift, savage, strategic advantage. She has been observed to have a special ability where, if surrounded and left with no other option, she will unleash a powerful ring of fire, knocking back any creatures around her.

Strategies[]

The original Takinom is almost universally considered a poor card due to her lack of Elemental types hindering her synergy with other UnderWorlders and her poor Energy making her a weak fighter. Furthermore, sacrificing a Creature for a simple heal is generally not worth the cost, making her heavily outclassed.

Takinom, the Shadowknight has premium Energy and good combat stats along with two strong Elemental types for UnderWorld builds, making her a very good fighter. Strike 10 allows her to burst down enemies more quickly, while Swift 2 allows her to threaten backrow support Creatures with Skeletal Steed or simply hunt down enemies in the mid- to late-game after board spaces open up. While her ability can provide an extra burst of damage to try and gain an edge in combat, her Mugic counter is generally better used on playing Mugic cards.

While Skeletal Steed, as previously mentioned, gives her a very threatening presence, it does not offer any combat benefits and is almost always targeted by Battlegear removal, leaving her with no Battlegear. If combat dominance is preferred, Burithean Axe is great as the Intimidate combined with her Strike will allow Takinom to quickly overwhelm enemies.

Details:[]

Takinom is an UnderWorld Commander and a dangerous adversary in battle.

Trivia[]

  • Part of her name could be derived from the japanese word for red, "akai."
  • In the Chaotic video game Chaotic Shadow Warriors, her effect is different. She instead has Strike 10 and has the elemental type of air and fire.
  • Takinom had one of the more drastic redesigns for season two. In season 1 her color is red, with black hair, and with large dragon like eyes, and a yellow stripe on her throat. In season two she resembles her splash more, having yellow skin, exposed cheek bones, auburn hair, curvy thighs, and green stripes.
  • Takinom's "secret connection" to Intress has never been revealed. Though there are a few theories, including that they may be sisters.
