Hero Strategy
Use Anchor Smash to secure last hits and damage the opponents at the same time.
The tougher the lane, the more points in Kraken Shell are needed.
Tidehunter is resilient against right clicks due to Kraken Shell. Typically you need a magic resistance item such as Mage Slayer, Pipe, or BKB.
Once you have Blink Dagger, make use of it before opponents are able to see it in your inventory.
Before initiating, make sure that your follow-up damage dealers are close enough and in position.
Counter Strategy
Tidehunter uses Anchor Smash frequently. Magic Stick and Wand will be charged up.
Avoid being hit by Anchor Smash as you'll have decreased damage for last hitting or to fight back.
Only use dispellable spells or items on Tidehunter at the start of a fight or after Kraken Shell has procced.
Tidehunter's Ravage has a long cooldown. Look to fight when it is down.
Be aware of Tidehunter's Blink Dagger timing. Look to cancel it in the fights.
Black King Bar will make you immune to Tidehunter's Ravage.
Break effects are great at removing Kraken Shell which makes Tidehunter much weaker.
