Kunkka relies on combos of Torrent and X Marks the Spot into Ghostship, and spell immunity blocks every one of them. Torrent lands after a short delay, so turning invulnerable before it hits wastes it. Admiral's Rum defers part of the damage he takes once he drops below a health threshold, and the deferred damage cannot kill him, so finishing him needs direct damage.
Counter items
Black King BarSpell immunity blocks Torrent, Tidal Wave, X Marks the Spot and Ghostship.
Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs the targeted X Marks the Spot.
Eul's Scepter of DivinitySelf-cast invulnerability lets the wearer sit out a Torrent as it lands.
