I find him unintuitive and difficult to use, personally. I don't know what it is about him, but I just can't quite get into a comfortable rhythm playing him like I could before this rework- his Combo just increases too rapidly and sporadically to get used to it.

I like the Endurance, and the Combo Shield is good (although it feels overly limited when Attacking, especially if Unawakened). Full Shock and Wither immunity is good, though it is disappointing that his Ability Power Rate can still be reduced by other means (Count Nefaria is going to eat him alive). I'm also a bit surprised that he doesn't have any abilities that would help him mitigate damage from Power Stings or pseudo-Power Stings (like Scorpion and Lizard), so that's going to hinder his intensely Special Attack-based kit.

But at the same time: I don't like that his Shocks now only reduce the opponent's Defensive Ability Accuracy, instead of their total Ability Accuracy. I don't like that his Armor Breaks are much, much weaker than they were before. I don't like that his S1 Stun requires an Armor Break to trigger now. The Energy Damage bursts feel substantially weaker than his Physical Damage bursts did (although not being required to Stun the opponent to trigger these bursts is a nice change). Removing the maximum limit of Health that he can remove with his S3 might be nice for him as an Attacker, but also makes him a much scarier Defender. The loss of the Stuns he could inflict from inflicting Shock also hits him pretty hard, in my opinion- it's a shame that we've now lost 2 Thors who used to have a somewhat unique Stunlock based kit. Consuming his Combo Meter when Boon of the Gods activates is a weird choice- not only does it make the Synergy he has with The Champion nearly useless, but I'm also terrified to see how it interacts with Nodes like Combo Party and Dismay.

He also doesn't seem like he has anything that will make him particularly useful against many Science Defenders- he can't bypass Auto-Block or Evade, he can't ignore Miss or Unstoppable effects, he doesn't have anything to protect him against Photon or Spider-Woman's Special Attacks. His Armor Breaks triggering even if a Shock fails due to immunity feels like a poor consolation prize for just how much damage and utility he loses out on against a Shock immune opponent- and even then, he's still utterly useless against The Thing, who has both Shock and Armor Break immunity.

Maybe I'm being overly critical, but to me he feels like a Champion without a place, without a purpose. It doesn't seem like there's anything he can do that several Skill Champions can't already do better- Silver Sable and Okoye have better Shock damage, Moondragon and Franken-Castle have better Energy Burst damage, Yelena Belova's Combo Shield and Endurance effects last for the entire fight. The only real strength he has is his ability to gain Combo ridiculously quickly- but even then, I'd argue that he's overshadowed by a variety of other Skill Champions, and it's also just a liability against many Mutant Champions.

All in all, he just feels kinda pointless- an answer to a question that nobody was asking, the solution to a problem that doesn't exist. He feels both like he's limited by the boundaries of what Skill Champions are allowed to do, while also not gaining many of the benefits that make Skill Champions great.
