How Dawnbreaker and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Tidehunter win 47.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,746 matches.
Fighting into this pair during the mid-game is a huge problem. Tidehunter can initiate from a screen away with Ravage, locking everyone down and creating the perfect landing zone for Dawnbreaker’s Solar Guardian. The enemy team gets hit by the Ravage, then stunned again by Dawnbreaker's arrival, and then takes her full Starbreaker combo before they can even react. This sequence is a massive amount of area control and burst damage that can decide a fight on its own. Even in smaller skirmishes, Tidehunter provides a durable front line and Gush’s armor reduction helps Dawnbreaker’s physical attacks connect for more damage.
