* DemotedToExtra: In Season 3, where he's relegated to being a cameo as Radiant team's courier.



* {{Foil}}: To Timbersaw. Both are greedy players who repeatedly obsess over farm, often taking it from their own team, and have quite the ego. But where Terrorblade is both a ItemCaddy that genuinely ''can'' scale extremely well with farm, and despite is egotism, doesn't insult his team as much as he simply preens to himself, Timbersaw is a relative CrutchCharacter, who doesn't scale nearly as well with his stolen farm, and is more than happy to blame anyone else for his own mistakes.

* LightningBruiser: Thanks to his constant farming, he evolves quickly into this by the end game.



* LightningBruiser

to:

* LightningBruiserOutOfCharacterMoment: Despite being established as one of the more efficient players in terms of farming, he nonetheless appeared to be missing his last hits at one point and was caught off guard by the Radiant team's ambush. [[spoiler: This is because it was only an illusion, much to Timbersaw's chagrin. The real Terrorblade was out in the jungle, way too focused playing with his new items.]]

* SimpleYetAwesome: Despite largely being an idiot, Tidehunter is still quite useful to the Dire team, primarily because of his ultimate, Ravage. Given he's on a team with Enigma and Phoenix, this gives them the ability to consistently overwhelm the Radiant with their chain of area disables.

The rest of his kit is likewise simple enough that even he can make use of them, most notably his point and click Gush.



* UnskilledButStrong: In skill Tidehunter is almost as bad as Pudge in the first season, but his ultimate is so powerful and easy to use that he manages to be useful anyway.

* '''{{Jerkass}}''': He's pretty much Invoker 2.0. Extremely vain, leeches gold and experience off of the rest of his team, generally useless yet still blames his team for their failures, refuses to wait for a disconnected player, and when his team is about to lose, he pauses the game right before the ancient explodes just so that he can berate Kunkka some more, and after that, even buys back into the game just so he can feed the Dire couriers. And unlike Invoker, he doesn't even have anything nice to say when his team does something ''right''.
