General DiscussionSo how is going Kunkka spam?

Noooooooooooooooooo. Now you will complain whenever kunkka doesn’t receive a buff.

Hello there! I suggest that you play kunkka as mid ALL the time, 1k health at lvl 4, tanky but deals a lot of damage. Item progression is bracer, into boots to bracer into phase, its up to your own discretion if you should buy bottle or not.

I usually dont buy bottle if the enemy mid has better rune control than me like QoP or some pesky roamers like riki and bh.

After the double bracer and phase, you would want to get sb for ganks, get bkb after that if the enemy team is full of stuns nukes etc. Otherwise go for daedalus first then bkb, one more daedalus.

During laning phase you can toggle on tidebringer everytime you want to deny because it gives bonus damage to your right click and wont go on cooldown.

Ohh thanks!
Is that deny thing really works? I feel like it shouldn't. ..gonna try today.

Well, hello!

I play mostly Kunkka as position 4 support (and sure he's hella fun); however, if you are looking for a MMR grind, you will have probably better restults playing and practicing him as a mid core.

The mindset for both (support/Core) are pretty much the same, as the Admiral loves any teamfight and can join any of them once he has boat; but you will have to be more aware of your farm and proper positioning/angle of the Tidebringer, among other things. The early/mid dominance of a proper Kunkka core and the chance of saving a bad game with Rapier makes him a pretty good mid hero in the current meta.

Both answers from the pal above are spot on. I personally love rushing bottle always as it gives great sustain through XMTS + TP, saving in the process time and gold on clarities/salves.

Roaming it's not as rewarding as before, so unfortunately can be pretty risky if the rest of your team (especially your offlaner) aren't enough self-sufficient. However, if you also want to join the club "I don't give a damn about the boring 2-1-2 meta", there's a post I made on Reddit about how I play it:

All that is a personal way of playing "my" Kunkka and I feel it does work for me. Of course, try out things, improve, and for sure you will make a good show even if it has to be in one of those unwinnable games.

Greetings.

wow that simplified kunkka guide makes me want to play him now

Kunka is over rated as hell. If you drop your burst you don't do any dmg at all and he's extremely dependent on items.

Dude.. dont use Tidebringer as passive and u will have tons of damage at ur command which is a threat itself for enemy team especially for those pesky supports who stay at back lines. After u get 2 daedalus, u will 1 shot their backline. I love playing Kunkka Mid. :)
