Smite 2: Thor Build Guides - Closed Alpha 8

Thor is a powerhouse of a god in Smite 2, particularly in the Jungle role. Known for his immense burst damage and crowd control (CC) potential, Thor excels in both team fights and ganking. His high mobility, especially with his ability to traverse the map quickly using Mjolnir's Attunement and Anvil of Dawn, allows him to provide constant pressure in the jungle while being a formidable presence in engagements. Thor's versatile kit makes him an effective god to master in Smite, capable of adapting to many different situations, both offensively and defensively.

Thor, as famous as he is bold, is God of the thundering sky. Yet his hammer, Mjolnir is nearly as famous as he is, and Thor will not be parted from it. Odin, the All-Father, bore many children, but none as well known nor as mighty as Thor, who had the strength to move mountains and the power to call lightning from the sky. Despite these incredible gifts, Thor’s enemies were cunning, bloodthirsty, and numerous. The Frost Giants constantly threatened to invade Asgard requiring every ounce of Thor’s near limitless strength just to keep them at bay. Had the tide truly turned, Asgard might have been destroyed, but a simple prank played by the treacherous Loki ended with the creation of Mjolnir, the legendary hammer, and with it, Thor utterly crushed the Frost Giants. Sif, Thor’s wife, had hair like rays of sun through a cloudy sky, and Loki, being covetous, secretly sheared it off while she slept. Mad with fury, Thor demanded Loki fix this. So, Loki went to the dwarves of Ivaldi who forged a golden crown that would grow equally golden hair, a spear that never missed its mark, and a ship that would never sink. Proud of his treasures, Loki returned to Thor and the other Gods, gave the crown to Sif, then bragged that no greater items could be forged. The dwarf Brokk took offense to this and claimed that he and his brother could do better. Loki bet his head they could not. So, Brokk and his brother forged three items, a ring that made a duplicate every nine days, a golden pig that could fly and swim, and the hammer, Mjolnir, with the power to shatter mountains. As each item was forged, Brokk was bitten fiercely by a fly, yet only on the third did he flinch, causing the short handle on the hammer. When they were done, the dwarves took their artifacts before the Gods and decried Loki’s fly disguise. All the Gods agreed that Brokk and his brother had forged greater items. Loki, ever cunning, declared his neck was not part of the bargain, denying them his head. Mjolnir went to Thor to battle the Frost Giants. Proud and mighty, Thor beat back the evil horde and continues to defend Asgard to this day. With Mjolnir in hand, Thor is an unstoppable force that even other Gods would do well to avoid.

Thor is a great choice for players looking for a jungler that can deal significant physical damage while also providing crowd control and utility to his team. His unique abilities allow him to engage in fights, initiate ganks, and escape sticky situations with ease. Thor’s mobility, particularly through Mjolnir's Attunement and Anvil of Dawn, combined with his Thunderstruck passive, gives him high damage potential that can be overwhelming to enemies. His ability to disrupt enemies with Tectonic Rift and Berserker Barrage makes him an excellent choice for aggressive plays and securing objectives. If you enjoy high-impact, skillful gameplay with a focus on initiating fights and controlling the flow of battle, Thor is an excellent choice for the Jungle role.

1. Strengths:

• High Burst Damage: Thor can deal massive damage with his abilities, especially once he is "Thunderstruck." Mjolnir’s arcs provide AoE damage that can turn the tide of a fight in seconds.
• Mobility: Mjolnir's Attunement and Anvil of Dawn give Thor exceptional mobility to engage or escape, which is key for a jungler.
• Crowd Control: His Tectonic Rift provides stuns and can block enemy movement, making it perfect for disrupting enemy positioning. Berserker Barrage also offers displacement immunity while providing damage and AoE effects.
• Tankiness: Thor can build tanky while still dealing significant damage, making him durable in prolonged team fights.

2. Weaknesses:

• Vulnerable During Cooldowns: Thor relies heavily on his abilities for damage and crowd control. Once his abilities are on cooldown, he becomes much less effective in fights.
• Skill-Dependent: Thor’s full potential is realized only if you can land his abilities accurately. Missing key abilities can greatly reduce his impact in team fights.
• Reliance on Thunderstruck: Thor’s abilities become more powerful when he’s Thunderstruck, but keeping up with the passive stack and using abilities at the right time is crucial for maximizing his damage.

The optimal ability leveling order for Thor in the jungle focuses on maximizing his damage potential while also providing utility and crowd control for ganks and team fights. Here’s a general ability leveling priority:

• Mjolnir’s Attunement (Ability 1): 2-8-11-12-14
• Tectonic Rift (Ability 2): 4-15-16-18-19
• Berserker Barrage (Ability 3): 1-3-6-7-10
• Anvil of Dawn (Ability 4): 5-9-13-17-20

• Skill 1 + Skill 3.
• Skill 2 + Skill 1.
• Skill 4 + Skill 1 + Skill 2 + Skill 3.

Thor can go Solo Lane or Jungle.

Thor has strong attack ability, getting close to enemies will help Thor increase damage to them.

Thor remains one of the most dominant jungle gods in Smite 2 due to his high damage output, mobility, and ability to control the battlefield. His well-rounded abilities allow him to contribute significantly to his team’s success, whether in the early game with ganks or in late-game team fights. Mastering Thor requires good timing with his abilities and positioning, especially in utilizing his passive to stay Thunderstruck for maximum damage. Whether you are looking to dive into team fights, secure objectives, or create chaos in the enemy jungle, Thor provides the tools to dominate the game.
