Team comps built around Thor enable his aggressive playstyle. Thor doesn鈥檛 want to brawl enemy Vanguards and doesn鈥檛 want to be stuck babysitting his backline.
Instead, Thor is at his best when he is free to push up, pop Awakening Rune, and look for quick elims on the enemy's backline. Hing another Vanguard on the frontline is very important since he offers his team no protection.
Since he has no damage mitigation himself either, Thor benefits from allies who can protect him from enemy attacks like how Invisible Woman can with her shield and Force Physics.
Example of Team Comp Built Around ThorVanguards: Thor, MagnetoDuelists: Star-Lord, HelaStrategists: Invisible Woman, Rocket RacoonHero SynergiesVanguards: Magneto
Magneto makes up for Thor鈥檚 weaknesses by being the team鈥檚 protector. Magneto controls the frontline and mitigates damage while Thor constantly applies forward pressure.
Metal Bulwark on Thor is one of the scariest sights an enemy Strategist can see since there鈥檚 no way for them to stop Thor until the bubble ends or breaks. When an enemy is threatening Thor, Magneto can also knock them back and buy time for Thor to fly away with his hammer.
Duelists: Hela
Hela sits back and creates focus fire with Thor on whoever he chooses to target. Being a sniper hero allows Hela to help Thor secure elims without hing to physically follow him around. Additionally, if she finishes off the enemies Thor is attacking, he gets the Team-Up bonus health and keeps attacking for even longer. No worries if trades his life for an elim since she can score a rez for him.
Strategists: Invisible Woman
Sue Storm has a trifold function when backlining for Thor. First off, since he鈥檚 usually right in the face of his target, Sue鈥檚 piercing primary fire will be simultaneously healing Thor and damaging his enemy.
Secondly, she can continuously redeploy her shield in front of Thor as he pushes up which makes it difficult for the enemy to stun him. Lastly, if Thor is getting countered by CC like Wolverine鈥檚 Feral Leap, Invisible Woman can use Force Physics to get the enemy off of Thor and allow him to live and counterattack.
