How Chaos Knight and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Tidehunter win 49.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,121 matches.
Setting up a teamfight with Ravage gives Chaos Knight a clean window to pull a target with Reality Rift and start hitting. Gush also provides useful armor reduction that helps his illusions tear through a target. In theory, this is a solid frontline combination. In practice, the two heroes often operate on parallel tracks. Tidehunter excels at creating broad, area-denial chaos, while Chaos Knight is entirely focused on deleting a single hero. Once their initial spells are on cooldown, they both become durable melee brawlers, but they lack a specific way to keep amplifying each other's impact throughout a fight, making their overall partnership feel pretty standard.
