Marvel Rivals Thor guide: Abilities, ultimate, tips, more NetEaseMarvel Rivals\u2019 Closed Beta has seen the sudden release of Thor into the roster just a day after its announcement, so here is everything you need to know about the Asgardian god in-game. During San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Marvel Rivals was going to receive three more characters after Venom and Adam Warlock\u2019s arrival in the Closed Beta: Doctor Doom, Jeff The Land Shark, and Thor. In a surprise move, the devs added Thor and Jeff in the Closed Beta, now making it 23 characters in the increasingly jam-packed roster list. So before you dive into Marvel Rivals to try out the new characters, here is all you need to know about Thor\u2019s abilities and some tips to play him. Thor weapons in Marvel Rivals Unsurprisingly, Thor\u2019s weapon is his legendary Mjolnir. He drops into battle with a basic primary attack and a secondary attack which is his ranged ability. Mjolnir Bash Wield Mjolnir to strike enemies. When Awakened, Thor can launch lightning arc waves to deal damage – Hammer Throw Throw Mjolnir forwards that then returns – Thor abilities in Marvel Rivals Thor\u2019s kit is all about getting up close and managing your resources, as Thor\u2019s cooldowns are mostly dependent on his Thorforce, rather than the typical timer. To build up Thorforce, you\u2019ll also have to play quite close to the enemy, which should give you a good idea of what his playstyle is like, which is not for those who like to play from afar. Passive Thorforce After using any ability, casting Mjolnir Bash grants one point of Thorforce – Abilities Storm Surge Hold to spin Mjolnir before dashing forward and knocking back enemies – Lightning Realm Summon lightning to restore Thorforce based on the number of hit enemies – Awakening Rune Consume Thorforce to enter the Awakened State, granting bonus health and enhancing Mjolnir Bash – Ultimate God of Thunder Soar upwards and smite the ground after charging for a duration, inflicting damage on enemies within range – Tips to play Thor in Marvel Rivals The name of the game is to play up close and personal against your enemies when you\u2019re playing Thor. Because of how integral it is to constantly build up Thorforce, you\u2019ll need to be in close proximity to your enemies to build it up fast. The reason you\u2019ll want to build Thorforce is so you can use Awakening Rune consistently. Whenever you\u2019re in a team fight or engaging an enemy, you\u2019ll want to use Awakening Rune as not only are you tankier, but you\u2019ll be able to dish a lot of damage to enemies and have ranged attacks. It should be noted that to build Thorforce you\u2019ll need to use an ability and hit an opponent with your primary attack which of course needs you to play up close up. But if you are managing your resources right with Lightning Realm, it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to always have enough Thorforce to use Awakening Rune. His Ult, God of Thunder, is a great ability to use when you\u2019re about to die as you\u2019ll fly into the air to dodge damage. It also is a great tool to engage enemies with, being able to position yourself into an enemy backline. Naturally, because of how close to the enemy you\u2019ll be, it\u2019s best to always be aware of your teammate\u2019s position and your line of sight to them. If you are stuck in a tricky position, you can use Storm Surge to try to get out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
