Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin wins the Kunkka vs Phantom Assassin matchup: Phantom Assassin beats Kunkka in 50.88% of 9,384 ranked matches.
Blur's evasion makes Kunkka's Tidebringer attacks feel unreliable, preventing him from consistently bullying Phantom Assassin with physical damage. The matchup instead revolves around Kunkka's ability to land X Marks the Spot. If he can mark PA, he can guarantee his Torrent and Ghostship combination for a lockdown and burst. Phantom Assassin's goal is to use Phantom Strike to get on top of Kunkka and kill him before he can execute the combo, or to use her mobility to re-engage after X pulls her back. It's a standoff between guaranteed setup and explosive mobility.
The laning phase often sees Kunkka with better wave control, but Phantom Assassin can secure farm with Stifling Dagger. Later on, the game becomes about vision and initiation. A Kunkka with good map awareness can catch PA out of position and set her up for an easy kill. On the other hand, a PA who gets the jump on an isolated Kunkka can often burst him down before he has a chance to react. The fight is won by whoever gets to dictate the terms of the engagement, making it a fairly balanced contest from start to finish.
