How this matchup plays

Trying to burst Tidehunter is a frustrating experience for Skywrath Mage. The moment you land Ancient Seal to set up your combo, Tidehunter’s Kraken Shell can purge the magic amplification, drastically cutting the damage from a follow-up Mystic Flare. This makes it nearly impossible for Skywrath to score a solo kill. Even with allies, Tidehunter's raw health pool is often too large to burn through before he can simply walk away or turn the fight with Ravage. In lane, he can sustain through the constant harass, and his ability to shrug off your most important spell only gets more impactful as the game continues, leaving you with few good targets in teamfights.
