How Kunkka and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Night Stalker win 51.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,746 matches.
Getting jumped at night by Night Stalker feels a lot worse when a Kunkka is nearby. Night Stalker’s initial Void slow gives Kunkka a better chance to land his Torrent and Ghostship combo. The follow-up Crippling Fear silences the target, preventing them from using a defensive spell to escape the incoming damage. However, the silence doesn't stop them from simply walking out of the Torrent area, so the combo isn't guaranteed. It relies on good timing. Alternatively, Kunkka can use X Marks the Spot to hold someone in place for Night Stalker's gank. Both heroes want to fight in the mid-game, but their abilities don't offer a perfect lockdown chain, making their success together less consistent.
