Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin wins the Nyx Assassin vs Tidehunter matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Tidehunter in 55.36% of 943 ranked matches.
Slowing down Tidehunter's farm and objective timings is Nyx Assassin's whole plan. Mana Burn is especially effective against Tide, who needs a lot of resources to get his items and have enough mana for a fight-winning Ravage. This forces Tide to either play passively or buy extra regeneration, delaying his core purpose. However, Tidehunter’s Kraken Shell makes him very hard for Nyx to actually control. The passive dispel on Kraken Shell can completely shrug off an Impale, breaking Nyx’s gank combo and letting Tidehunter walk away or turn the fight around.
The game becomes a contest of positioning and resource management. In the laning stage, Nyx Assassin can make Tidehunter’s life miserable, but he can't easily kill him. Later, Tidehunter wants to group up and use Ravage to win a teamfight, but a good Nyx will be scouting with Vendetta, looking for the perfect moment to use Spiked Carapace on the initiation or to help burst a support before the fight begins. The outcome often depends on whether Tide can get his ultimate off cleanly or if Nyx can successfully disrupt that one crucial moment.
