Thor is a powerful vanguard in Marvel Rivals, excelling at initiating fights, disrupting enemy formations, and dealing consistent AoE damage. His kit revolves around controlling space with lightning abilities while using Mjolnir for both mobility and combat. As a frontline fighter with high durability, Thor excels at creating openings for his team and sustaining through prolonged engagements. His ultimate ability, God of Thunder, allows him to unleash devastating lightning strikes while gaining significant damage reduction.
How to play Thor in Marvel Rivals
To play Thor well, focus on using your mobility and crowd control to create opportunities for your team. Start engagements with Lightning Strike to close gaps quickly while dealing damage. Use Thunder Clap to disrupt enemy positions and create space for your team to follow up. Your basic attacks with Mjolnir deal consistent damage and help build ultimate charge.
Positioning is crucial for Thor despite his durability. Use Mjolnir Flight to reach advantageous positions or escape unfavorable situations. This ability also allows you to initiate from unexpected angles, making it harder for enemies to counter your engagements. When throwing Mjolnir, remember you can recall it to deal damage on its return path.
Timing your ultimate ability, God of Thunder, is essential for maximizing its impact in team fights. Activate it when enemies are grouped together or during objective contests - the combination of increased damage output and damage reduction makes Thor extremely threatening during its duration. Coordinate with your team to ensure they can capitalize on the chaos you create.
