Kunnka Build? in General Discussion
Squash

    When I play Kunnka I normally max out tidebringer and don't get X until LVL 8. Is this good? I'm like 1.5k so I don't need to be flamed to know I'm bad. Any insight on the matter would be great.

      Maxing out tidebringer only works if you do have the opportunity to hit something during the fights. Also it doesn't quite help with laning as it tends to push out lanes.

      X is too good to miss as it helps with things like enemy positioning, channeling spells, stopping TPs. You probably want to level it once ASAP until you get to level 12.

        4-1-4 is the build unless you're against OD mid

          well he said he gets it at 8. also why'd you choose lv 12 as a timing window, it takes 2200 xp to get to 12 rather than the 600 to get to 11. you don't want to mis-skill at lv 11 cos it could be a while until you reach 12.

          also tidebringer is now able to be toggled. maxing tidebringer is fine, some people get a point into X marks before 6 because it might get them a kill, but it's fine not to.

          !attacker tends to max torrent first now, maybe watch his replays and figure his reasoning.

            So when should I get a lvl into tidebringer? It seems like I should just max out X and Torrent then get tidebringerwith what you guys are saying.

              who said anything about not getting tidebringer?

              at least 1 point is strong in the laning phase for the harass + occasional extra deny damage. if you go to the hero page and select the guide tab
              http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/kunkka/guides
              you'll see the players that go middle and don't have 10 last hits by the 10 minute mark (they're roamers), they either max tidebringer by 7/8, or torrent. probably the most well known kunkka spammer is !attacker and looking at his recent match history he tends to max torrent first for a 4-1-1-1 build (or 4-2-0-1) and then get X.

              if you're playing a support kunkka, then you should skip tidebringer until X and torrent are maxed.
