I think DHC’ing into Devil Trigger is a waste, unless you’re comming from Mighty Punish, the combo’s usually scaled to death making a 3rd bar necessary to do any damage at all. I say rock Strange 2nd.

I just dont like Dante anchor
Guys I just thought of an idea. How about Legendary edits the initial post to list the top Thor teams? or teams that Thor works well in atleast. This way new comers will have a blueprint to start off with.
Also serpantaurus, if I wanted to make a Thor team with these characters, what would be the best team (please list assists too)?
- Magneto
- Dorm
- Doom
- Strange
right now I am running Thor (Spark)/Strange(Bolts)/Dorm (Purification), but I am extremely interested in Doom and Magneto too, that is why I was asking.
Are you saying those are the best characters for Thor to have at 2nd?
I could do that if there was a huge desire for it, but just saying “these are the best Thor teams” or whatever kinda takes away from finding what works for you as a player. I gave a run down of all the assists that work with Thor and who has those assists, so that should be enough. I’m big on the “pick who you like” concept of the game and made this thread with that idea in mind.
As for those characters, you can make a good Thor team with any make up in practically any order you want for them. Again, not really a “best Thor team” kinda answer, just another preference thing.
Thor (Spark) / Dorm (Dark Hole) / Doom (Beam or Missiles)
Magneto (EMD) / Thor (Spark) / Doom (Missiles)
Thor (Smash) / Dorm (Dark Hole) / Magneto (EMD)
Thor (Spark) / Strange (Bolts) / Doom (Missiles)
You can get a lot of flexibility out of any combination of those characters. Just play around with it.
Thor(Spark)/Task(Horizontal Arrows)/Ammy(Cold Star)? Thor is hard to optimize I feel as it’s undetermined really where his position lies on a team and that he’s pretty terrible as an anchor.
is Magneto better than Doom at anchor?
Depends on what you’re going for in a team. If you want the better support value, the Doom is better. If you want the better assistless point character that still provides an assist that you can use, Magneto is better.
Right now I feel if Thor isn’t the anchor on the team, he’s in the right spot. Thor on point gets two assists, so that’s great. Thor in second allows him to tack on some extra damage for kill combos if you got the right point. I personally wanna see some teams really embrace the Mighty Punish Whiff DHCs.
Oh, and that team will work just fine. Task is great for support and for those tricky start of round characters, you can start him first and still do fine. Cold Star goes with everything. You’re good.
Thor and Mags…meh, I wouldn’t suggest them on the same team actually. Thor gets little to nothing from Mags really. EMD’s a solid assist but Thor doesn’t capitalize on it well, and the DHCs between them are only really solid in the corner in a specific DHC (Tempest xx Tornado or SSS Tornado xx Tempest). Mags also doesn’t get a ton from Thor. Spark’s good, but the Tempest/Tornado DHC isn’t as strong as others.
I mean if you REALLY want to play Mags and Thor together, you can make it work I guess, but if you can avoid it you probably should.
And I’m one that thinks Thor/Dorm/Doom is his best team since it plays best to his strengths.
in terms of Thor/Dorm/Doom, is it really wise to keep Doom for last?
Especially since Dorm is the better anchor (accordingly to most people here)
Also, does Dark Hole or Purification work better for Thor?
also im really going back and forth between Thor/Dorm/Doom or Thor/Dorm/Strange…
Any insight into which is better and why?
Thor/Dorm has much better synergy than Thor/Doom. It shouldn’t really matter who’s the better anchor, do not rely on it. The only time someone should be passed over because someone else is a better anchor, is if the difference in the assists the two characters would provide is negligible. Other than that, the synergy of the first two characters comes first, then the decision of what assist helps both those characters the best. How effective the anchor is shouldn’t even come into the equation, unless the exception comes up (or you’re playing Jean).
Saitsu, what assists do you use with Thor/Dorm/Doom?
Uh right now I’m messing around with Dorm’s Purification over Dark Hole for testing purposes.
I have Thor on Spark and Doom on Missiles. May try out Thor on Smash too.
It’s a flexible team, all three characters have 2 assists that you can use with them, so it’s really up to the player and how they want to go about the team.
Thanks. Any tips on maximizing the Thor Dormammu DHC synergy? right now the max I got was an 830 damage corner combo.
I did
c.L, c.H, S, air M, air M, air H, air S, fully charged mighty smash H, mighty smash M, mighty tornado, DHC into Chaotic Flame.
im not sure what I would do for a midscreen combo DHC. I guess I could use Stalker flare, but i still feel the damage can be maximized.
With missiles in the back, you do your combo starter, launch + assist call, air MMHS, land, missiles OTG, SSS ender. Anywhere on screen.
Without it, combo starter, launch, air MMH, Strike xx Tornado DHC before last hit into Stalker Flare. Keep an eye on the combo counter. After it goes up by about 3 times, charge your power of the destructor 3 times, and H teleport and air S right when the Flare ends (it does 20 hits by itself). You time it right, you’ll get that hard knock down. When you land, Big Bang, Dark Hole, Chaotic Flame. It’s a tight combo, uses a bit of meter, but it looks really cool.
wow Lengendary, that one post has made be psyched to play Dormammu. lol
Well i’m crafting a Thor Dorm Doom combo video so get hyped lol, but it will be out like in one month from here 'cause i’ve been busy with other stuff.

Thor / Mags (hyper gravitation) have unexplored tech. the corner reset: s.S, superjump, j.MMH, delay, j.S, land, charged strike H, strike M, regular neutral jump + call hyper gravitation, j.L, delay, hurricane L is probably unblockable. If you press j.L to avoid the hurricane L, hyper gravitation gets you, if not you are caught by mighty hurricane regardless of the recovery direction or airdash mobility. Only sent, morrigan, v.joe and spiderman should be able to escape the setup.

In my opinion hidden missiles does what Coldstar and Bolts of balthakk do: lockdown, combo extentions and fullscreens zoning. Its a full package for Thor thats why Thor Dorm Doom works (Dorm assist are not that good). You just have to know when to call it, you have to be smart for covering Doom. Plasma beam has a bit of lockdown too and is more safe than Bolts of ballthak making it a safe pick against characters with horizontal control or horizontal control assists (Hawkeye, Shoping cart, Other Doom with plasma beam, etc).
Thor Dorm (purification) Doom (missiles or plasma beam) is the best choice. It has TONS of tech, and i mean TONS (working on vid). Thor Dorm Strange can work but your rushdown at close range will be weak. Thor Doom (missiles) Strange (bolts) is good but more high execution. Again, Thor Magneto Doom has unexplored tech but idk if its viable at high level. If you want to pick Thor and Strange, add Ammy to the mix and you get a AAA anti-zoning team. Thor Doom Ammy is quite deadly too.
I just came.
