How Spectre and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spectre and Tidehunter win 49.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,607 matches.
Landing a big Ravage sets up the perfect fight for Spectre. She can use Haunt to instantly jump onto a high-value support in the back who is stunned and separated from their teammates, guaranteeing a quick kill with Desolate. While she does that, Tidehunter is a massive distraction, soaking up spells and reducing the enemy team's right-click damage with Anchor Smash. It creates a low-risk, high-reward teamfight for the Spectre player every time their ultimates are up.
The game plan is straightforward. Tidehunter provides a stable, tanky frontline that secures the space Spectre needs to farm her core items. The constant threat of the Ravage and Haunt combination forces opponents to play cautiously, often grouping up when they'd rather be applying pressure. If they do split up to avoid Tidehunter's ultimate, they become isolated targets for Spectre to hunt down anyway. This duo pressures the map from two different angles, eventually closing the net on the enemy team.
