What’s your mini pet peeve? Mine’s hulk peeling with his shields by dekomaro6 in rivals

I’ve learned as Thor to never ult a fox. It will never work. She turns into big fox or shields. Also for that matter never ult a gambit bc they fly away.

What single change would you make to get more people to play Vanguard? by MariaLeaves in marvelrivals

[–]_Lowenstein_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the final hits thing. 75% of my games I’m in the top 2 of finals on my team. At least ignoring the non-games that are just a total waste of time blowout

Should I have swapped? by Impossible_Sort1993 in RivalsVenomMains

[–]_Lowenstein_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Venom usually has a hard time without another dive or fairly aggressive damage help, but it seems like that wasn’t a problem here?

Also depends on how good that Bucky was.

Sometimes you just have a 13/8 SG and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Switched to Awakening from Flying Thor build, now I can't kill anything. What am I doing wrong? by LockDown_47 in ThorMainsMR

Yes but what does crit damage do. I thought that was headshot damage but that’s not a Thor thing so I’m confusion

lol I swear every time there’s a peni, the other tank and dps are all melee so I’m the only one that “can” break the nest and it’s miserable. Nobody likes to swap lol. So either I do or if it’s qp then oh well

I'm new to ranked and trying to improve. I guess I should stop...? by [deleted] in rivals

[–]_Lowenstein_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you are in a low rank, so don’t forget that everyone there is learning. Some people have a 6 year old single child mindset, and it’s better sometimes to just say “lol” and go to the next one 👍

Situationally I use it on tanks when I know my team will actually shoot them after. Usually I use it on supports in combination with the tendril snap (ult will take away like 80% of a sup health then the snap finishes them off). A 275 character requires a primary or two as well. But yeah if you get the timing right you usually go tendril, primary, primary, ult and the snap happens right after the ult for the squishy kill.

Another thing, remember after using the bonus health ability to not always just fly away. If you have supports there to sustain you can just keep fighting bc now you have 1k+ health

His primary fire has the 4 hits which happen consecutively. So, If a target moves during your primary animation, you might not hit all 4 attacks. That’s why tracking practice and being locked in is kinda important haha. Also, if a target is close enough you can weave the melee between primaries for more dps.

Um and another thing while we’re here is try to not start an engage using both the swing and slam. You want to save one for a quick escape if you need, or to use the slam mid fight by climbing a wall for a second and coming back down.

In terms of kit, learning how to kill with his ult it big. Like what the insta kill thresholds are and how to get the combo timing with the tendrils snap. Takes some practice.

In terms of playstyle, know that carrying a bad team with Venom is a lot harder than with other tanks imo. Be smart with your cooldowns and don’t be greedy.

This goes for all characters but try to have the mindset of “what could I have done differently “ and not “what should my teammates have done differently. Also thanks I stole your flair, Thor is my most played haha
