You don't max Flux first on Arc Warden. The skill does basically nothing in laning situations (creeps count for disabling Flux). It's primary use is for punishing people you catch alone in river and for that you get more damage off of Spark Wraith than Flux (which you use mostly for the slow).

Does Spark Wraith target heroes or allies when coming into contact?

ed: I will swap it

It's swapped, see above.

Skill Build: E Q E W E R E Q Q Q R W W W R (1. Spark Wraith 2. Flux 3. Magnetic Field)

I put an earlier point in W (lvl 4)

    Stout's kinda ok but not really necessary for Pudge. Idk I don't really play Pudge, so it's not something I can explain really well.

    These guides have never been able to convey situational starting items well. Most of the time it's just going to be safer to bottle rush.

    For one thing, it's often hard to even guess which enemy hero will end up mid in a pub.

    I will be back in Copenhagen, Denmark in time for 6.85. Text boxes are still broken, amplifying the work on top of my transition to a new location (West Coast, United States).

    Was hoping there would be more publicity about the issue.

    Tried the Kunkka guide a few times. I had perpetual mana problems until I got to level 15+ and started skilling stats.

    6.84 - Standard Kunkka (Lane) Build

    Should I just use the Mid build and get a bottle?

    Bottle's fine for mana, yes.

    TBH, the skill order should be changed to 4-4-1-2 (with the first rank in X taken at 10) OR 4-1-4-2 (with the first rank in Tidebringer taken at 10), with the latter specifically for support Kunkka (and I think there's a legitimate argument for having "Lane" Kunkka be support rather than safelane carry). Mid should be changed to 4-4-1-2 regardless. Having to invest so much in X just gimps your midgame damage too hard, and the removal of the facing requirement for Torrent means you have more options for using Torrent without telegraphing yourself that you always want it maxed at 8/9.

    Disagree strongly. I always want to have a rank in X by the time I have Shadow Blade. This would mean I'd want the first rank in X at 8 at the latest if I'm farming a lane. Of course, you could be assuming that an average guide-user will miss half their last hits. But even without the shadow blade, being able to X-TP has applications.

    I agree on wanting more torrent by 10 though, giving my preferred shadow blade in->X->Torrent initiation more punch.

    If I recall, there was a huge discussion on how to level Kunkka 50 times in the past before, both for Mid and Lane. That's my hesitation to look at it again as if I recall; both had their valid reasons.

    That was before the X rework and the Torrent buff. Post-X-rework we had 1 discussion before enough games on the patch had been played, which resulted in the current skill order, and you didn't revisit the hero at all after the Torrent buff.

    The hero was a huge point of contention before, but you're ignoring a radical change to one skill and a less-radical but nonetheless significant buff to a different one that makes things more clear-cut.
