Tidehunter support

You don't get it because its hard to land you get it for the element of suprise.

If you only catch 3 enemies with your ulti, then you shouldn't be playing tidehunter.

There are many ways to play every hero, play what you like. Without dagger sure you can catch 3 enemies with ult, but you cant initiate so easily.



i am not a writer nor pr0player, just added guide because there wasnt any for tidehunter. No, i am not going to make any longer guid, sorry for that :)

Core = Something a hero needs to function. Luxury = Something a hero needs to improve their functions. Blink Dagger is used to improve the instigating of your ultimate which might be very important, but it doesn't mean you need it to do well with Tide. I personally get it whenever my team has very little instigators and need me to start off the team fight stunning them all while they get into position and clean up my mess.

Blink is a good luxury item on Tidehunter, but is by no means 'core'.

Hehe, I'd say the dagger is core too, it's for the same reasons that earthshaker and sand king need it, to get in, do max aoe with their ult and then do their best to focus the carry. If anything I think it's even more vital on tidehunter because he's a tank!

I'm on the side of dagger. Every tournament I see with tide, they get a dagger when they can. Sometimes they rush it, sometimes it's last in their core. But still, it allows you to get in there fast, and get maximum effect with your ult.

I also just noticed you have blink dagger as core in your Tide guide, Love.

Well, the game that navi just lost, the tidehunter on the other team didn't even go arcane boots.

Typically they are buying wards, magic wand, sometimes a bottle, urn, basic boots/treads, etc. and they aren't sitting around in a lane last hitting. It's kind of hard to rush a 2150 gold item when you're roaming around the map. If you get the money, sure. All I am debating here is Core.

Show me a tournament match where a Tide has Arcane Boots and Blink Dagger without anything else.

Yeah that's why in the tournaments everytime someone picks tide hunter, they rush blink dagger. They must be so terrible, opting for the one item that makes your job 10x easier.

It's hard to miss unless you're bad.

Yeah it's easy to land if your enemies are terrible.
