The '''Conniver's Kunai''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#spymelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Spy]]. It is a Japanese {{w|kunai}} dagger with a cloth-bound handle.
 
  
Equipping this weapon reduces the user's max health by 65, thereby lowering the Spy's overall health to a total of 60. Upon a successful [[backstab]], degenerative effects such as [[afterburn]] and [[bleed]] will end. The victim's total health, including [[overheal]], is then added to the user's own health. This heals any damage taken, and then applies the remainder in the form of an overheal, capping out at a maximum of 180. When the Conniver's Kunai is equipped, the Spy's overheal mechanic functions differently from a standard overheal, depleting at 2 health per second. Overheal applied by a [[Medic]] will fade in 15 seconds, while overheal at maximum buff, applied through the Conniver's Kunai, will fade in 60 seconds.

The '''Conniver's Kunai''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#spymelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Spy]]. It is a Japanese [[w:kunai|kunai]] dagger with a cloth-bound handle that ends in a ring.

Equipping this weapon reduces the max health of the user by 55, lowering their total health to 70. Upon a successful [[backstab]], degenerative effects such as [[afterburn]] and [[Bleeding|bleed]] end. The victim's total health, including [[overheal]], is then added to the user's own health. This heals any damage taken, and then applies the remainder in the form of an overheal, capping out at a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 210.
 +
 
 +
The same rules of overheal decay apply to Spy as with other classes. The Spy's maximum overheal as applied by the [[Medic]] adds 35 health, which decays in the usual 15 seconds. However, the maximum overheal applied by the Conniver's Kunai is 140, four times as much as 35, so it takes four times longer to decay (60 seconds). The decay rate is approximately equal to 2.33 health per second.

Aww, you almost healed me to death that time!
The Spy after sapping too much health from opponents

The Conniver's Kunai is a community-created promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is a Japanese kunai dagger with a cloth-bound handle that ends in a ring.

Equipping this weapon reduces the max health of the user by 55, lowering their total health to 70. Upon a successful backstab, degenerative effects such as afterburn and bleed end. The victim's total health, including overheal, is then added to the user's own health. This heals any damage taken, and then applies the remainder in the form of an overheal, capping out at a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 210.

The same rules of overheal decay apply to Spy as with other classes. The Spy's maximum overheal as applied by the Medic adds 35 health, which decays in the usual 15 seconds. However, the maximum overheal applied by the Conniver's Kunai is 140, four times as much as 35, so it takes four times longer to decay (60 seconds). The decay rate is approximately equal to 2.33 health per second.

Taunting with the Conniver's Kunai equipped results in the Fencing kill taunt.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.
