Kunkka

Kunkka is a versatile hero that relies on high damage while lacking in hit points and survivability. Because of his lack of an escape ability, Kunkka requires good positioning and reflexes in order to succeed. When played well, he can be an excellent hero on all fronts, from initiating to lane control. Kunkka is recommended for intermediate players.

Gameplay
Kunkka is most powerful because of his Tidebringer ability, which adds AoE to his basic attacks and increases damage. When used in lanes, this can quickly take out multiple creeps, or focus a ton of damage on a single one, for maximum farming and control potential. His other skill, Torrent, disables enemies for a short time, allowing him to gank and harass easily, as well as escape from a fight he has no chance of winning. X Marks the Spot allows him to improve the effectiveness of his Torrent ability, as well as gank and escape with practice. It pairs well with other spells and Heroes, letting Kunkka snap an enemy back in place for a hard blow. His ultimate, Ghost Ship, reduces the damage taken by friendly heroes for a short time, and can stun enemies if aimed properly, making a great initiator for large and small battles.

Tips

 * Tidebringer is your signature ability, and should be trained early.
 * Use Torrent to initiate battles and disable opponents.
 * X Marks the Spot works well with Torrent to ensure you hit.
 * Ghost Ship delays half of the damage dealt to allies, making it great for short team battles.
 * Train Torrent first if you're going for First Blood, otherwise, get Tidebringer.
 * Try dual laning with Heroes such as Crystal Maiden or Vengeful Spirit. Their disables will help you land your Torrents.
 * Avoid damage in team battles, you don't have as much health as your allies!
 * Battle Fury is probably the best item to go for for Kunkka as the splash from Tidebringer goes really well(Stacks) with the cleave of this item.
 * Kunkka needs a lot items to scale into the late game as a carry, so farm a lot to be useful

Trivia

 * Kunkka has a strong dislike of Tidehunter, as indicated by his voice files.
 * Kunkka is voiced by Jon St. John.
