:test_tube: Changes from Beta

There appear to be no changes to Thor from the last-seen Beta stats, skill, and design.

:thought_balloon: What do you think of Thor?

This thread is for thoughts and discussion on Thor.

Based on preferences Forum members have expressed, please try to stick mainly to Thor and not wander off topic too much to other heroes.

Some Popular Questions for Discussion

  • Is Thor worth summoning for?

  • Would you use Thor on Defense? Offense? War? Quests/Events? Titans?

  • Which heroes on your Roster best pair with Thor?

  • What heroes would you take when facing Thor as an opponent?

  • Would you give Thor Fighter Emblems? Which Talent Grid path will you choose?

  • What do you think of Thor’s special?

  • What do you think of Thor’s character design?

  • If you Summoned Thor and would like to post your results, please include some thoughts on why you Summoned Thor, and whether/how you plan to make use of him.*

*NOTE: Summon Results posted without any commentary/feedback at all should be flagged as Off Topic and removed, based on preferences expressed by the Forum community. Please include some comments about what you think of Thor when posting Summon Results. In addition to opinions about Thor, you are also encouraged to include how many Summons it took before receiving Thor (or how many Summons you’ve done without receiving Thor), so other players are presented with realistic experiences of the rarity of Season 3 Heroes.

:money_with_wings: Avoiding Overspending & Heartache :broken_heart:
Or: How many summons are needed to get a Valhalla Featured Legendary Hero?
Below odds are current as of June 30, 2020. Odds will change as additional S3 5* heroes are added to the “non-featured” hero pool.

It’s important to remember that Season 3 Valhalla Heroes have EXTREMELY low summoning odds. No amount of summoning will guarantee a Season 3 Hero.

On average, in a 10-pull, you have a 1.43% chance of summoning Thor.

But that statistic can lead our minds astray in exactly how our odds play out as we continue summoning.

Some useful insights:

  • 13 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 100
  • 51 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 500
  • 76 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 1500
  • 89 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 1500
  • 95 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 2073
  • 99 times out of 100, you’ll get Thor by pull 3186

Putting that in Perspective

Gems cost $99.99 US for 10,000. A 30x Summons costs $83.99 US.

  • 87 out of every 100 people won’t get Thor by the 100th pull.

  • If 1 Million players each spent $281.97 USD to summon 100 times, 870,000 of those players wouldn’t get Thor.

  • 5 out of every 100 people won’t get Thor by the 2073rd pull.

  • If 1 Million players each spent $5,805.92 USD to summon 2073 times, 50,000 of those players wouldn’t get Thor.

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:

As usual, thanks you for making this thread, @Guvnor.

And as usual, I won’t be holding my breath getting this one. Too many prized S3 legendaries and epics still elude me.

SG, please give me this hero, as well as Alfrike, Frigg, Lord Loki, Odin, Skadi, Bera and Freya. Thank you very much in advance.

What happen after he has fired his 3rd special, does then rotation start over from 1st?

No, I disagree. This is another worthy and interesting enemy. Don’t nerf Thor, please! :slight_smile:

Interesting question. Nothing in the card states anything after the third used charge. It would make sense if the fourth charge will be reverted to the first charge. Beta testers would be able to provide answer to this.

In wars and in raids, the 4th charge may not be necessary as the first 3 charges used may already decimate the enemy. But this would be cool in events, charging his skill to the third and dole them out as gifts to the bosses in the last wave.

Biggest issue with Thor on defense is, by the time he charges to the third charge your team has either already lost, or your other heroes are charged and ready to absorb his impact.

I don’t think he is deadlier than Odin, or Drake but he will definitely show promise on flank with heroes that will give him time to charge up, E.G Bk, Krampus, LotL, Garnet.

He may even work as a tank. If you prioritize health and shield he may live up to a second charge if the enemy gets a weak starting board. Blind is very strong.

Been very lucky with the 0.3% pulls lately. First lord Loki, now Thor. Even if he got nerfed he’s still great. Yeah, I am prepared for S4 now

I tried him out, he unfortunately rotates back. if you draw out a raid match, he’ll be slightly unreliable at times

My thoughts about him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t really bring a lot to the table except for being a raid specialist. Outside of raids like farming, events and titans, he’s only a weaker Joon/ faster drake/ much faster justice. Don’t know why SG loves recycling blind ailments for holy when it’s the same recycled skills but tweaked in slightly different ways. Maybe if he has his own DOT, electric damage. That would be something nice to chase.

:joy: you beat me to it :+1: the forum is boring with all the bitter gang asking for Nerfs

Tested him and after he casted his 3rd stack dmg to all, it returns back to 1 stack… thats a big shame…

You should feel rewarded for stacking Thor 3 times and have his stacked special for rest of the game unless he dies and gets revived…

Hey guys! Super happy Kerberusz here! Managed to get him and to be honest that was a surprise pull, because last month Loki also showed up. The family is together now: Thor, Odin and Loki. What an awesome and beautiful trio! :smiley: It really only Frigg who misses now from around the throne. :stuck_out_tongue:
And who wonders, last year’s Atlantis was such a catastrophic theme for me that I could pull 1 Atlantis hero … drum rolls … Mok’Arr! The one and only Mok’Arr.
I think I quite maxed out Valhalla with this pull. Peace & lucky pulls for everyone! :slight_smile:

It’s a stylized gimmick with no substance tbh. If it was a 10 stack that increases his damage output by 5% everytime he fires he is really a hero worth chasing. But I’m probably going to use him anyways. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t even have drake to be a snob about it
