ALL TEXT IN GUIDE IS FROM SEASON 5/6 AND ISNT UP TO DATE.
Baka is arguably a top 3 jungler for ranked and casuals, little lower for competitive play but still strong.
Jungle:
Bakasura has very strong early jungle pressure. his 2 allows him to eat a midcamp or enemy xp camp straight up from full health. this, plus his jumps, makes invades very easy and forgiving.
When you hit level 5, you should have enough for hastened katana. back, grab hastened, go ult someone (Mid, Duo lane, probably not the solo laner). Free kill.
Solo:
Baka solos early pressure is not as good, but allows him to get a lot of farm midgame that can end up with you hitting level 20 at around 18 minutes, while the enemy team is still 16-18. hello triple kills!
play safe in lane between ults, use ult to either kill or heavily poke the enemy solo laner every time you have it up and you have most of your passive stacks. use the eat minion as often as possible to stack it up, and keep you sustained. if you can outbox the enemy solo, press 3 and go ham. if not, play a little safer between ults.
Fights:
Generally in fights you will want to blink ult the backline, force relics if they have them, and get kills if they dont. you can leave fights to go eat a minion and come back at half health to finish kills. you can shred frontline but you can get punished for this if you get cced and turned on by the backline.
BACKDOORING:
aka "ranked baka" playstyle. attack speed + pen + minions in ult? free pheonix. add a fire giant buff? REALLY free pheonix. no need for wave, walk up, press 4, let minions tank, kill pheonix. if someone comes to defend use the cone aas and kill them too, youre bakasura who cares? If youre playing solo you have teleport, meaning you can tp to a pheonix or even titan to take it free. dont be scared to leave fights at 1hp and go take a tower instead.
antiheal: For healing
Magis: good if youre getting cced before you can engage. would buy instead of urchin if you can get away with being squishy but cc immune, if not then instead of obow
Winged: same thing but for slows.
Defense: 5th item, if you need survivability.
He Bo: pretty much impossible to beat lategame. you try to ult he ults you and your minions, does 80% of your health and full heals. sucks to be you.
Kali: You cant 1v1 her lategame, she ults and you die. you cant kill her unless she has no ult or beads. you can however outfarm her early game as long as you dont get bursted by the combo.
kuzenbo: shell spikes, nemean, thorns, dead bakasura.
*Any immobile mage/adc*: press 4. press 3. auto attack. dead mage/adc. bakasura.
Vamana: Ult his ult. TOXIC BLADE (IMPORTANT). He dies, your mid laner loves you forever.
Janus: Your ult cripples. drop it on his portal, munch him.

You could even have blackthorn as an alternative to urchin.
boots i suppose is an option but i consider it just worse than skipping boots overall.
bloodforge magis yes i will add a little note about when to buy. void is eh overall id rather just buy mantle.
blackthorn i dont think does much for him overall he doesnt need cdr or mp5
Also you didn't say why you wouldn't get Atalanta's on Baka
I’d definitely sell it late game though.

kriega, It's a good build as you can see by his score. The attack speed from PS and WD (WD passive as well) give more procs of butcher bladesChill man. It's ranked, not SPL. He can fool around a bit... or a lot and actually get away with it.
Also im not sure if Runeforged would be decent on Baka since the buff.
Also I forgot to mention Ancile as a counter item.
runeforged i havent tried but seems very ult reliant, and not sure where id fit it in the build, maybe instead of urchin but that makes teamfighting very difficult if you get hit by anything from their mage.
Something I would like to see is additional information why boots are not necessary. The way I understand it, it isn't necessary because boots is mostly used to get an early power spike for really cheap. However Baka doesn't need that early power spike because 1) two of his abilities have no scaling and 2) his main source of damage is one of those abilities and it does true damage. Do you agree?
I agree with your comments about Urchin. Normally I go Mantle just because it doesn't have stacks. The passive on Urchin is amazing though and definitely worth the stacks. I agree that the problem with items like Blackthorn are that there are no protections. I think Magi's is the better choice. It depends on the opposing ADC and Jungle though. If they have full pen I go Magi, if they have Qins I go Mantle.
I like the guide. Baka is super fun to play. Good job.
That's not it chief. Magi is picked up against Hard CC heavy teams, like say they have Ares, Da Ji etc... While Mantle is picked up against High Burst comps.
