How Night Stalker and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker and Tidehunter win 47.27% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,081 matches.
Trying to take control of the map after the first sunset is where this pair can find an advantage. Tidehunter provides excellent setup with Ravage, letting Night Stalker fly in with Dark Ascension to isolate and burst down a high-value target while they are stunned. The armor reduction from Gush also helps Night Stalker secure his kill. The main issue holding them back is a slight overlap in their jobs. Both heroes want to be the one starting the engagement. Sometimes Night Stalker is focused on hunting a solo hero while Tidehunter is looking for a five-man Ravage, so their plans don't always align perfectly.
