[Top 5] Dota 2 Best Tidehunter Builds To Win Games (7.32d)



The wrath of this Kraken is the subject of widespread talk in the Dota scene. Tidehunter is one of those heroes that you can never get enough of. Especially if you play it in the core position. The right-click build for this hero has made people try him out in their pubs. The flexible nature of this gigantic Kraken makes him the hottest pick of the current meta. He thrives in flooding his foes with his damage and rupturing them with his tentacles. Tidehunter is a force to be reckoned with in the current meta due to his immense tank potential and late-game durability.

If you are interested in playing Tidehunter or want to enhance your gameplay, you’ve come to the right place. We bring you the best 5 builds that guarantee you a win. These builds are tried and tested by pro players, which means they’re relevant in the current patch.

5. Carry Tide Build

It is not every day that you see carry Tidehunter being played. The hero is conventionally played in the offlane, but the recent buffs to his talent tree and overall stats make him a suitable pick in the carry role under the right matchups. Tidehunter is highly viable as a carry hero if you build the right items. It is more of a light-hearted build and should be tried out in unranked games first, as you can be at grave risk of losing your MMR if you jump in a ranked game with it!

Carry Tidehunter usually relies on items that provide him with high attack damage and speed. He does not rely on initiating or utility items. Hence, items such as Armlet, Desolator, and Daedalus help him in dealing with high damage. Blink Dagger is also purchased, but it is used as an aggressive tool to jump into fights and catch enemies off-guard. It can further be upgraded into a Swift Blink if need be. Overall, this is a fun build, but it only works in certain matchups.

Use This Build If:

  • You want an extremely reliable carry build for the late game
  • You want to deal physical damage as a Tidehunter
  • You want to be involved in more skirmishes from the early game

  • Aghanim’s Shard - (1400 Gold) Purchased at 30 minutes. It grants the Tendrils of the Deep ability. It unleashes a slew of tentacles in a targeted area and stuns the enemies on the way.

4. Topson Mid Build

The two-timer, Topson, is one of the best mid-players in the entire game. He is known for his unorthodox builds and playstyles. His sheer skill and game sense ensures he triumphs even with the strangest builds. Tidehunter is not your average mid-hero, yet Topson makes him look like a beast in the mid-lane. His exceptional farming style and aggressive demeanor ensure there is no stone left unturned when it comes to winning the lane.

Topson rotates as early as he can with this build. He ensures that all his lanes are secured and no one is lagging in terms of levels or farm. He builds an early game Satanic due to the sustain it provides in a fight, while also increasing his HP. He prioritizes Gush, as it reduces armor and slows enemies upon cast, making it deal high damage with Desolator. Topson’s Mid Build is a hard-hitting one and must be tried if you are looking to expand your hero pool.

The recent Ti winner, 33 is by far the most mechanically skilled player on this list. His exceptional gameplay and knowledge are unbeatable. Tidehunter is a hero that you see 33 playing quite often. He recognizes the strengths as well as the weaknesses of this beast. Primarily played in the offlane, 33 focuses on demolishing the laning phase with his aggressive playstyle while also paying attention to his farming speed.

33 plays a utility build, which ensures his allies are sustained throughout the game. After all, his utility builds and remarkable playstyle helped Tundra win Ti last year! He focuses on split-pushing and initiating the teamfight first. Hence, he prioritizes items like Blink Dagger, Pipe of Insight, and Aghanim’s Shard which help him be an excellent team fighter.

2. Ceb Build

The two-timer, and undoubtedly the GOAT, Ceb is an exceptional Tidehunter player. You may not see him play this hero often, as he is known for his NPs and Dark Seers. This hero may not be his main, but when you see him play, he makes you think otherwise! Ceb plays an extremely aggressive and greedy Tidehunter, often opting for unorthodox items. Ceb does not rely on his teammates to make plays in the game, rather he takes matters into his own hands with his insane builds.

Ceb loves the Anchor Smash build, as he is playing against melee heroes like Slark. This build optimizes Tide to his full potential by building both utility and damage items. Such a hybrid build can be risky but seasoned veterans like Ceb know their way around such matchups. Ceb builds items like Desolator and Daedalus to provide him with increased physical damage potential while also piercing through enemy armor quite effortlessly.

1. Collapse Build

Collapse is by far one of the only pro players who is testing Tidehunter in the current meta. His exceptional performance at the Ti10 was evident that he can play this hero at its optimum capacity. His exceptional Ravage plays prove that he has earned his spot as the best on this list. Collapse is a team player, hence you will often see him buy utility items on Tidehunter, but the current meta demands an extremely high-tempo Tidehunter build that does not falter in the late game, hence you see a mixture of items. 

Collapse has adapted to the new meta and he prefers to build team fight items that assist his team in defeating the foes. The build includes some obvious items like Blink Dagger and Guardian Greaves, which most people build, but most people can not compete or get on the same level as Collapse when it boils down to the raw mechanical skill he can display on Tidehunter.
