How Kunkka and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Vengeful Spirit win 54.61% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 791 matches.
Thinking this duo is only about landing a stun for Torrent misses the bigger picture. The real value comes from Vengeful Spirit's consistent buffs. Vengeance Aura provides a straight damage boost that helps Kunkka’s Tidebringer cleaves scale throughout the game. Add the armor reduction from Wave of Terror, and his physical damage becomes a much bigger problem for the enemy team. On top of that, a well-timed Nether Swap can save Kunkka after he dives or pull an enemy into his combo. It all adds up to make him more effective at every stage, from laning to late-game teamfights.
