The Tidehunter, also known as Leviathan, is a melee strength hero from Dota 2. He is one of the oldest and most iconic heroes in Dota, having been present since the game's earliest days. His signature ability is Ravage, a powerful AoE stun that can be used to initiate teamfights or disrupt enemies in lane. Other abilities include Anchor Smash which damages and slows enemies in an area, Kraken Shell which provides him with armor and health regeneration, and Gush which gives him bonus attack speed and reduces enemy armor. He is a powerful initiator with high survivability due to his tanky nature. His ultimate ability is Ravage which can be used to devastating effect when combined with other crowd control abilities or items like Blink Dagger or Black King Bar.
