Kunkka
Dota 2 ยท Heroes. The Kunkka combo places X Marks the Spot, throws Ghostship and Torrent at the mark's spot and presses Return by itself right before they land, so the target is brought back under the hit. Ghostship (where the ship hits with Aghanim's Scepter) and Tidal Wave (toward or away from Kunkka) have their own cards, plus an "Auto X return" tab outside the combo.

Heroes โ Kunkka โ Auto X return
An ability card opens with the icon in the corner of its tile or with a right click on the tile. The tiles on the Alternative combo tab have their own cards with their own values. The other tabs of the page are shared by all heroes โ see Hero page.
How to enableโ
- Menu (
Insert) โ Heroes โ Kunkka โ turn on the header toggle of the page (off by default). The general requirements (main toggle, combo key) are in Hero page and General settings. - Turn on the Humanizer: the combo does not work without it.
- Auto X return is on by default and works without a key.
What it doesโ
Combo
- Default plan order: X Marks the Spot โ Ghostship โ Torrent โ Tidal Wave. Return is the second stage of X Marks the Spot.
- X is placed on the target only if Torrent or Ghostship is ready โ otherwise there is nothing to return the target to, and the combo moves on.
- While the mark flies to the target, Torrent and Ghostship wait for it. On a marked target they are cast at the mark's spot, wherever the target runs.
- Return is pressed right before the first of your Torrents or Ghostships lands on the mark's spot. If nothing lands before the mark ends, the mark returns the target by itself.
- If the hit would land too late โ the target already released from the spot โ Torrent or Ghostship is cast at the target by prediction as usual.
- Ghostship with Aghanim's Scepter: if Torrent holds the target on the spot longer than the ship sails, by default the ship crashes slightly to the side of the target โ so that both the crash and the fleet's cannonballs hit it. Without the Scepter or without a hold, the ship hits the target dead center.
- Tidal Wave: by default the wave is cast behind Kunkka and washes the target to him; if the target is farther than where the wave starts, Kunkka walks in. The "Away from Kunkka" option is a normal cast at the target, the wave washes it off.
Auto X return
- Outside the combo: if you put X Marks the Spot on an enemy hero yourself, Return is pressed by itself right before your Torrent or Ghostship lands on the mark. All you do is mark and throw the ability at the spot.

FAQโ
The combo doesn't place X Marks the Spot. X is placed only when Torrent or Ghostship is ready. If both are on cooldown or turned off in the plan, the combo skips the mark.
Return isn't pressed by itself after my mark. Auto return works outside the combo and only for a mark on an enemy hero. It presses Return only when your Torrent or Ghostship lands on the mark's spot; if you threw nothing there, the mark ends by itself. Check that Auto X return is on.
The ship with Aghanim's misses the target's center. That's intended: the For the cannons option shifts the crash to the side so the cannonballs hit the target too. To crash dead center, pick On the target in the Ghostship card.
Tidal Wave is cast behind Kunkka, not at the target. By default the wave washes the target to Kunkka (Toward Kunkka). To cast at the target, pick Away from Kunkka in the Tidal Wave card.
