ethereal blade on tidehunter in General Discussion

    i saw good players getting ethereal blade on tidehunter two games in a row.

    is this a new build that is just becoming popular?

    can anyone explain the reasoning behind it? seems like a lot of agility going to waste for not that strong of an effect

      You never get ethereal for the agility.

          Ethereal units cannot attack or be attacked. Thats the main reason i guess. (+take 40% extra magic damage).

            unless tide had blink + dagon, eblade is just for the lolz

              look trolling is an art,
              but sometimes it's not for trolling,
              for example
              arcane boot is a very nice item on jugg and sniper for pushing
              midas is generally a very good item for #4 support, roaming support
              too bad few people realize that, lol lol lol

                my thought is that when initiating a team battle you ethereal the carry on the other team. (doing damage). then gush him (doing bonus damage). then ravage (doing bonus damage). basically you are disabling and doing a lot of extra damage to the most important hero on their team.

                but this is likely nowhere near as strong as refresher and ulting twice.

                  ethereal is good against tard carries who don't get a bkb lol lol lol
                  wait they don't have a bkb against tidehunter ? lol lol lol

                  Woof Woof

                    4900 is 2 expensive for one item that is mostly useless before you complete it especially on hero like tide hunter
                    just think about alternatives
                    refreher is like 5400
                    blink + fs + magic wand = 4909
                    blink + mek = 4500
                    blink + veil = ~ 4900
                    etc

                      tru dat

                        Only real thing I can think of is picking off a key support like a warlock. Otherwise it's just preventing physical damage for a time which just having a ghost scepter would suffice for that, so not sure why they take it to ethereal.
