Standard intro (do yo shit marcus)

Kunkka, The admiral, is a melee strength hero treated as a ganker/semi carry and good initiator. The majority of his damage is dealt in burst form making him differ from most other semi carry heroes. As he is a strength hero he has a natural tankiness from a high strength gain per level which he can use to his benefit by being more aggressive earlier on then some other melee heroes. Kunkka can fit in to a lot of lineups, but should not be picked as the teams only carry or only initiator. He can however be played on many lanes. He can solo a side lane or mid, but generally is at his best when played on a side lane paired with a ranged stunner, so that he can easily land his abilities to net some early kills.

Kunkka has a variety of unique skills, consisting of two skills shots, an anti escape mechanism and a passive which procs on his auto attacks. His skills all combine very well together to give him a strong presence both in team battles and on the lanes. His damage with some farm can be absolutely devastating mainly due to the nature of his passive, with the correct items it is not too strange to see a Kunkka kill a low hp support hero with just one swing of his mgihty sword. However, to continue
to have a strong presence within team batlles in to the late game, Kunkka requires a lot of farm, which is often better given to any hard carries you may have on your team.

Kunkkas weaknesses include a weak lasting presence in team battles, mainly due to long spell cooldowns and a low attack speed. He also suffers from a low mana pool with
proportionally high mana costs on his abilities, meaning you must be very selective of when you use your spells, as missing them may render you useless if a battle breaks out. He can also struggle early on in lane, versus a lot of heroes who have strong ranged harass, if he does not have a ranged lane partner. It is mainly for these reasons that Kunkka is very rarely seen in competitive play, but don’t be disheartened, Kunkka is a fantastically fun hero that is massively rewarding to master and can be a real asset to his team if played well.
