Pro tip - your hammer throw can animation cancel your primary melee. Mixing that in instead of storm surge will increase your overall DPS if you’re in a situation where DPS is more important than disrupting and you are just trying to kill something.
If you combine all of Thor’s abilities in succession of storm surge, primary, primary cancel hammer throw, dome, into awakening you can lead dps for your team consistently
storm surge, primary attack, cancel with hammer throw is that possible? because thor has common cooldown with his abilities, so i don’t think it will be possible. Just like the video shows, while you can throw hammer, you also can launch a new surge. there is no room for cancel throw?
@@ling4217the best combo is fully charged dash, melee melee melee(cancel this one with hammer throw) then drop your bubble if enemies nearby, pop ur X, throw lightning, then hit someone with a melee for an additional Thor force
You should be using the bubble often because not only does it slow it also does damage when they leave *or are pushed out of it* So if you storm surge in, bubble, swing, swing, swing, storm surge, you just burst a squishy for 255 damage
What i love more than anything with thor is not needing a healer as much as with duelists. I am constantly between 500-800hp while tanking damage and attacking from mix and matching my abilities at all times.
Yeah have been practicing with Thor and I can attest to the bubble being pretty useful! It is not a staple of the build by any stretch but it is definitely worth using. It is pretty difficult for opponents to see the bubble when they are close to it and in the middle of a melee, and most people will simply ignore the bubble damage as negligible. But it's basically free damage-- It has a very fast cast time and can easily just be spammed in there with your normal hammering at basically no cost (and you get Thor force on top of that). Also... storm surge means you are knocking the opponent out of the bubble and therefore causing more damage. If you are one-on-one with a fast melee character (Spider-man, Iron Fist, etc), pop the bubble and chances are they'll get hit by it multiple times as they dance around into and out of the bubble. It is pretty difficult to see the bubble when you are close to it and in the middle of a melee, and most people will simply ignore the damage as negligible as they try to take you down. At the very least they'll get hit once when retreating after they realize they can't kill you; the bubble and a hammer throw can help finish them if they are low on health. The bubble is also nice in choke points, doorways, small spaces, etc.
@@baddaysbasil5376 yeah and most times it’s a good tool to help you get a kill with the ult. If you dive an enemy support and bubble them you can ult or square on them and it’s an ez kill as well.
@ yeah I mean it’s situational. People don’t notice the Hubble and see the ult and try to run away but they get slowed and take damage so it makes it easier to land the ult kill.
Boo you're still playing him wrong as well lol. When you bully with Storm Surge you can aim up to make the enemy fly up in the air which will disorient them even more. The Lightning Realm is also really good you're tripping lol. Surge in, 3 hammers, Awakening, Lighting Realm then Awakening again to end the combo. I also use Lightening Realm at choke points & before I ULT. It's so easy to run from Thor's ULT but when enemy is 30% slower you get more from your ULTs.
my favorite thing about Thor is in addition to everything else (bully shoving, close range right and left-click spam), it's that he has the option to tank shred using Awakening Rune... while it's important to be situational cuz of the options you lose, I don't think any other tank or off-tank has that pocket dps... thinking about Thor, other than Hela and Hawkeye damage cheese, I wonder when both teams are equal, who can turn the game around the most for the average player?
Never was a huge Thor fan..and I was never a Thor hater…now I’m a true champion for Asgard and became a huge Thor supporter from now on. He’s dope in Rivals.
I keep trying to watch these kinds of videos to see if I can learn anything new. Then I get mad watching the gameplay because they play worse than me. 😂

Also trick I learned recently to help the pathetic ultimate,charge em, hit the bubble, then ulti, it ll slow em as they run so you might get em.Also tomorrow finally the ultimate will be CC proof.
Theres some good tips here, but i question your use of awakening. You can use it. Then refill all 3 storm force with the bubble and either use it right away again or use dash to get out. You said yourself you dont use the bubble much but it should be used constantly to keep your force at max more frequently.
Just so people know. These are mostly bots in the video(wether True Vanguad knows it or not) so of course Thor seems amazing. I mean come on, 1:00 that vemon is obviously a bot and he is part of the same match that was full of other bots. His ai is locked to try and go straight to the objective therefore he just keeps getting mindlessly pushed back by thor and still keeps trying to go forward instead of finding another route. Another example of these bots is, if you watch the clip at 2:57 up to 4:28, you can see that the names of the enemy team have the telltale signs. Beside being trash, bots will have names that are 2 words and each of those words will start with a capital letter exactly like the ones in these clips. A more detailed explanation is made by this guy: ruclips.net/video/cC9bKw7WZOA/видео.htmlsi=o0vKKGzyrCS58Hc1
as my first hero shooter i never had any preconceptions of tank vs dps vs healer and thor was 1 of my first go to because of his health and damage output. now obviously ik more but hes still 1 of my fav mains along with C&D
BRO FINALLY SOMEONEWHO GETS IT so many ppl complain in chat about tank support mean while im taking out strategist and gate keeping the other tanks from objectives
Just a tip! 😉 Mjolnir Bash (left click melee attack) can only instantly recharge 1 Thor Force per ability used that consumes Thorforce. Rest of the time Thorforce regen @ 1 per 5 secs. That is why lightning Realm is great after Awakening Rune as it gives 1 Thorforce per Enemy Hit and can make it possible to re-cast Awakening Rune immediately after or do other shenanigans. Thor will regain 1 Thorforce during Awakening Rune (5 secs) and can regain 1 from Mjolnir Bash a 1+ from Lightning Realm, otherwise their is a minimum of 5 sec delay on a 2nd Awakening Rune. This murderous combo can be used every 2nd time due to the cooldown of Lightning Realm. But it is the only way to chain 2 Awakenings Runes together for Thunder God Fun 🔨⛈⚡😉
I learnt this the hard way lol. Was playing him as a tank, soon as I understood his kit, this is exactly what I do. Keep pushing someone back, and he's made for 1v1 since he can keep giving himself armor! He can be a real pain. I've held full teams in spawn before cause they all stay to try and kill me lol. Yes they succeeded but I wasted 30 seconds they needed 😂
Mmm I think you overlook Thor’s two best abilities. I win MVP almost every match now with Thor just off of Lightening Realm and Lightening Confinement lol
I've been surprised the degree to which Chinese developers are deep cut fans of Marvel comics, I heard a reference to Beta Ray Bill without saying his name
Brother has his sensitivity at 8 💀 i play with a pretty low sens but holy guacamole dude is taking 3-5 business days to turn a 180 😳 also look in the comments here for some good thor main advice with animation cancel and the bubble is where its at. No need in me repeating whats already in the comment section lol
Soo many games w no support i really hate thor. If i got mad kills im not tanking. If im tanking im not helping dps. Like somehow my team is cheeks but its my fault
I am not 😁 he is the absolute only character in the entire game I’m not terrible with and I be cookin. I’d like to be good with others as well, but I’m very happy for Thor to be my main
vidya called you're playing thor wrong and my guy skimms through thor E stating he uses it rarely. my dood, e is the difference between a bad and good thor. how u use e will either be a detriment to you or a free engagement win esp in team fights or when u try to deal with 2 enemies. you are right to teach folks about the 3xlmb+push but u gots to add a) u wanna push them upwards if they lack air mobility and b) e+f combo when you are outnumbered and on choke points be it a point near defense or be it a choke point escape route of someone u just took on a lil trip to vegas. c) use e defensively to peel something like bp from ur backline, each time bp dashes through e he gets damaged.
Pro tip: be careful using ruin awaken in over time on point. You slightly levitate and your feet aren't actually on point so it won't hold the point contest.
Pro tip - your hammer throw can animation cancel your primary melee. Mixing that in instead of storm surge will increase your overall DPS if you’re in a situation where DPS is more important than disrupting and you are just trying to kill something.
It’s good for the very small situations when you need 100dps burst very quickly. Other than that Storm Surge is better, straight up
If you combine all of Thor’s abilities in succession of storm surge, primary, primary cancel hammer throw, dome, into awakening you can lead dps for your team consistently
Yep if you can find it it does this little burst damage and it gets out of control!!! It's so fun!
storm surge, primary attack, cancel with hammer throw

When enemies move out of the slow bubble they take 40 damage on top of being slowed.

@@brigasm Hm...usually I surge upward and hopefully out of sight before popping the ult...maybe the bubble first is a better way. I will try this :)
@ yeah I mean it’s situational. People don’t notice the Hubble and see the ult and try to run away but they get slowed and take damage so it makes it easier to land the ult kill.
I've killed a few Magik's with it because they kept teleporting in and out of the bubble
Btw you can animation cancel his melee to do a higher dps combo, 3 melee swings and a hammer toss'll increase your close range dps

Here's a good Thor main! I'm sick of these videos telling me I'm playing my main wrong then giving the wrong info based only on paper stats
Yes sir, shit is too fun
You know what you're doing friendo!
Dm bro I need tips
Pro tip, you can actually dash out after using Awakened Rune, you just have to time it properly.
my favorite thing about Thor is in addition to everything else (bully shoving, close range right and left-click spam), it's that he has the option to tank shred using Awakening Rune... while it's important to be situational cuz of the options you lose, I don't think any other tank or off-tank has that pocket dps...

Wolverine and a Spiderman flanking and killing healer
Never was a huge Thor fan..and I was never a Thor hater…now I’m a true champion for Asgard and became a huge Thor supporter from now on. He’s dope in Rivals.
Lightning realm is goated! You use it all the time on engages to melt people. push them in and out of the bubble, they take 40 dmg each time.
I’m in fact not playing Thor wrong, turn your sensitivity up it’s killing me 😂

Coming from Destiny, I'm glad to see you on the other side. Def looking forward to future Rivals content!
So you're telling me he's a Viking Raider???
A true war machine!

The thing I really like about Thor is he straight up just ignores shields from like Magneto and Strange and just beats the shit outta them lmao
Love your stuff TV. Happy to see you covering this game
I think this is why 2 Tank meta is good. You have 1 who soaks dmg and another who disrupts.
i haven't played thor yet. thx for this. i finally figured out how to play hulk without throwing.
Thor can literally solo carry games he’s underrated

I like to main healer and can say a good thor who beelines for the healer is the biggest pain in my ass
Storm surge, bubble, battle fury should be the combo… battle fury can 3 shot squishy characters
Okay cool, that's how I ended up playing Thor. was wondering if I was doing it right.
Great vid, thanks!
I'm a thunder assassin!!! I have way too much fun with this!!! I like to hit the back line healers and then move in! ⛈️🌩️🌨️
No, im not lol lord Thor! For Asgard! Great vid man.
Liam Neeson and lunch money 😂. Love it
I abolsutely love playing Thor but I HATE being the only tank as him, feel like that happens so often and I just have 2 swap 2 Groot or Strange.
So we all went from D2 to rivals 😂😂😂
Mmm I think you overlook Thor’s two best abilities. I win MVP almost every match now with Thor just off of Lightening Realm and Lightening Confinement lol
Idk what it is but Marvel Rivals content from TV just feels right.🔥
I've been surprised the degree to which Chinese developers are deep cut fans of Marvel comics, I heard a reference to Beta Ray Bill without saying his name
Turns out Im an idiot and have been playing Thor ineffectively. Thanks for another great video . I can feel the mediocrity leaving my body
wait did I miss the explanation of the ult?!
Yeah I feel like a Bully playing Thor lol.
Awesome that your covering Rivals! Keep em coming!
Brother has his sensitivity at 8 💀 i play with a pretty low sens but holy guacamole dude is taking 3-5 business days to turn a 180 😳 also look in the comments here for some good thor main advice with animation cancel and the bubble is where its at. No need in me repeating whats already in the comment section lol
How you describe thor is how everyone describe 10 of the thanks on this game
Dawg PLEASE turn your sensitivity up, it takes you three business days to look behind you.
I love playing Thor
wait what about his ult
Used to think destiny community was toxic until i see all these overwatch stans expecting top 1% clips for a basic guide. Keep it up TV
Hahaha! Call from Liam Neesons!

Erm, actually I'm playing him right then🤓☝
No I'm not

Aw man I'm cooked as magneto!
I don’t believe this is correct because anyone can always jump while on point and still contest
Incorrect.
Lol you are playing Thor Odinson so wrong 😂. You didnt even show his different rotations and specs.
You're hilarious. 😂
W
man this game is unappealing, wow.
Yea, it's brutal to watch. Maybe it's fun to play, but watching is a snooze tbh
There's people in comments, like myself, playing Thor better than you. Bad video and you should feel bad.
thor stinks
