How Crystal Maiden and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Tidehunter win 51.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 14,586 matches.
Finding a good Ravage is easier when Tidehunter doesn't have to worry about his mana. Crystal Maiden's global aura lets him use Gush and Anchor Smash more often during the laning stage, which secures farm and lets him skip an early mana item for more survivability. He can stay on the map longer and hit his key item timings for taking control of the mid-game, arriving at the first big teamfight with a full tank and a full mana pool.
The plan is always the same: Tidehunter initiates with his ultimate, and Crystal Maiden follows up with Freezing Field on the stunned targets. The main issue is that this combo relies on two very long cooldowns. Once used, there's not much special interaction between the two heroes until their ultimates are ready again. Furthermore, a smart opponent will save a stun for Crystal Maiden, as interrupting her channel is the easiest way to break the combination. This makes their powerful moment a bit conditional.
