How Kunkka and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Pugna win 51.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,616 matches.
Setting up a kill with X Marks the Spot gives Pugna a clean window to land a full Life Drain and Nether Blast. This makes for a reliable gank combination in the early and mid-game. In teamfights, however, their abilities can clash. Pugna often wants to use Decrepify to save Kunkka or amplify magic damage, but this makes the target immune to Kunkka’s physical attacks, completely wasting a potential Tidebringer cleave. This conflict requires careful coordination to avoid actively hurting your own damage output. While they can pressure towers well together, the potential for a misplaced spell makes their overall effectiveness inconsistent from fight to fight.
