Why this works

Getting caught by a Ghostship as a full-speed Lycan runs at you sounds like a nightmare, but the execution can be awkward. Kunkka excels at setting up a big teamfight with a precise Torrent and Ship combination. Lycan, however, is often already on his target in Shapeshift before the combo even lands, or he's more interested in a different target entirely. His summons also don't benefit from the ship's rum buff. While X Marks the Spot can pull back a straggler for the wolves to finish off, the two heroes often operate on different timetables. Kunkka might be preparing for a five-man fight while Lycan is already hitting the next tower, leading to some disjointed engagements.
