Tidehunter relies on Ravage as an area stun that reaches invisible units, and on Dead in the Water, a leash that holds a hero near its anchor. Kraken Shell blocks physical damage and purges his debuffs, so the anchor, which 4 hero attacks destroy, and magic damage matter more. Ravage waves travel at 725 units per second, so leaving the area or turning invulnerable as they pass avoids the stun.
Counter items
Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs a unit-targeted Gush or Dead in the Water every 14 seconds.
Blink DaggerTeleporting up to 1200 units outruns Ravage waves that spread at 725.
Eul's Scepter of DivinitySelf-cast grants 2.5 seconds of invulnerability while a Ravage wave passes.
