How Dragon Knight and Kunkka perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Kunkka win 48.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,640 matches.
Setting up a kill with Dragon Tail into Kunkka's Torrent is straightforward and reliable. The instant stun from Dragon Knight gives plenty of time for the delayed area effect to land. Outside of that specific gank combination, however, their plans can diverge. Both heroes want to be durable front-liners, but they can struggle to create enough pressure together. Dragon Knight wants to group up and take towers with his ultimate, while Kunkka often prefers to split the map and farm with Tidebringer. This can leave the draft feeling a bit one-dimensional, as both heroes occupy a similar role without providing the diverse threats needed to consistently win teamfights later on.
