Author's Ability Notes


This ability is a good one, it can help for chasing if well placed and can initiate a team fight if you can predict well enough. We max this ability second because it is very helpful and we need our passive first.
This wins lanes, it wins early game, it wins mid game, it wins late game. It gives you a cone shaped cleave infront of Kunkka giving you bonus damage and range based on level, and is Kunkka's staple ability, and is why Kunkka dominates games. It does harass early game and does push the lane.
Where are you going? X-marks the spot takes an enemies location and places an X down, and in a few seconds, brings the enemy back to the X. This ability is wonderful in landing your torrents, and I would recommend for beginners you leave it at level 2, because then it is timed well with torrent.
Another staple of Kunkka, and i would recommend you throw it often. Kunkka throws his hand forward and a boat spawns and crashes 1000 units infront of him. It increases your speed and you take 50% less damage, but then you take that damage afterwards. Good initiation, good damage, good everything.

Starting Items

Last hitting and health boosts
Regen is always good
Regen

Early Game

If you are taking an insane amount of harrass and need a boost in survivalability, consider this
For the ability to chase and a nice boost in damage

Core Items

A wonderful item to escape and add that wonderful bonus 150 damage and to properly position yourself for those boats
The most core of core items for Kunkka, adds that wonderful Crit and wonderful 81 damage. This allows Kunkka his signature ability, Tidebringer, to ONE SHOT TEAMS

Situational Items

A good item to get either before or after Daedalus, adds that extra *umph* to your cleave and makes for nice farm. be sure to note that the cleave range is shorter than your Tidebringer cleave
For those pesky evasion heroes, and when people get butterfly. Other than that it is still very good on Kunkka
Ehh, a decent item for Kunkka for the wonderful aura and armor, but Kunkka doesn't NEED the aura, he only needs to attack when Tidebringer is up. Not recommended, but a good choice for your team and armor.
X mark the spot yourself and blink into the fray!
Too many nukes on the enemy team? not throwing out your boat fast enough? cant even attack? well, this should fix your problems!
Similar to BKB in that it stops nukes, but only one. Gives Kunkka what he needs, regeneration of hp and mana, and those lovely stats, a good item to pick up for those single target nukes
