How to counter Tidehunter
In lane
- • Slark does not care about Kraken Shell and Anchor Smash damage reduction since he steals stats with Essence Shift. • Slark can dispel Ravage and Gush with Dark Pact.
- • Heartstopper Aura is strong against high HP heroes like Tidehunter. • Tidehunter is a good Reaper's Scythe target. • There is not much that Tidehunter can do against the lane harass of Death Pulse, right clicks and Heartstopper Aura.
- • Ursa does not care about Kraken Shell and Anchor Smash damage reduction since his damage scales hard with Fury Swipes.
- • Juggernaut does not care about Kraken Shell and Anchor Smash damage reduction since most of his damage in lane comes from Blade Fury, which is magical. • Tidehunter cannot do anything if he gets caught with Omnislash. • Tidehunter cannot kill the Healing Ward behind Juggernaut.
- • Mana Break drains Tidehunter's mana, and he has little lane presence once he cannot use Anchor Smash. • Anti-Mage can reflect Gush with Counterspell.
Items
