Teach us how to play Thor in SMITE 2!

in SMITE 2

Closed

Thor is a great god to play, he brings an excellent combo of high mobility, group control and high damage, with him you can be a very difficult opponent to deal with.

  • Passive (Warrior's Madness): this one's a bit hard to understand... basically, for every enemy near Thor, he gains additional strength up to a maximum of 3. After you use Berserker Barrage or Anvil of Dawn (Skill 3 and ultimate), Thor gains Thunderstruck, which, while it's available, deals more physical damage to the enemy and can hit up to 2 nearby opponents.

  • Skill 1 (Mjolnir's Attunement): Thor throws Mjolnir forward to its maximum range, causing physical damage to any enemy hit in the round. When gods are hit on the way back, they take 200% damage. While Mjolnir is being thrown, Thor can use the same skill to be teleported to the hammer. Be careful though, as it needs to be a valid location on the map, and you can't teleport if you're using another skill or are hit by a hard CC or Cripple. It's an excellent combat strategy, but if you're going to try teleporting, remember that positioning is crucial.

  • Skill 2 (Tectonic Rift): Thor strikes the ground with Mjolnir and creates a fissure, causing physical damage and stunning the opponents hit. With the fissure, a wall rises that prevents movement, but the projectiles still pass through and Thor can knock down the wall ahead of time if he reactivates the skill. You then decide whether to keep the wall up or tear it down straight away, depending on the situation and the kit of your partners and opponents.

  • Skill 3 (Berserker Barrage): He makes two 360-degree spins with his hammer, dealing damage to all the enemies hit, until at the end he launches a cone attack that deals damage to the enemies in front of him. And here Thunderstruck still comes in, dealing damage to nearby enemies. I like it a lot for clearing minions and doing the stun - teleport - damage combo.

  • Ultimate (Anvil of Dawn): Thor launches himself into the air and becomes immune to CC, and he will choose a target where he will land and deal physical damage and stun the enemies he hits. Remembering Thunderstruck. I really like this ultimate for starting fights (in combination with the team), and you can also run away when the going gets tough.

With regard to builds, it varies a little whether you're going Solo or Jungle. For Solo, for example, I like Heartseeker, Brawler's Ruin, Oath Sworn Spear... For jungle, the crusher, serrated edge, Jottun's revenge...

Finally, I don't think it's an easy god to learn how to play, but I believe that with tips and plenty of practice you can become unbeatable. Thor is an assassin with a high damage output. As always, it's very important to know how to position yourself and when to use each skill... if you know how to use your kit, he's a great addition to the team.

Tell us how to get into exobiology!

in Elite Dangerous

Closed

First, you need the Odyssey expansion in order to get started with exobiology. With regard to the ship, I recommend one that has a good jump range and is small or medium-sized. I really like the Diamondback Explorer, but there are other options such as the Asp Explorer, Krait Phantom... In addition to the choice of ship, it's also very important to equip it with a Full Spectrum Scanner and a Detailed Surface Scanner, because it's through these that you'll be able to identify areas with life on other planets and map the surface; as well as the SRV, which helps you to be faster when scanning for life forms (these pieces of equipment aren't mandatory, but they help a lot!). The Artemis suit is also essential, it is equipped with the Genetic Sampler, the only device that can scan for exobiological life forms.

Once you've done that, you can set off on an adventure in search of exobiological forms. Choose your direction and start searching, remembering that the initial search begins inside the ship with the equipment you've acquired.

Once you've located the element and landed the ship, you can go on foot or with the SRV looking for life forms, and the scanner will show you the elements that can be scanned. It's important to remember that there are 3 different samples for each species and they must be at a certain distance from each other. When you've finished collecting, you can sell your data to Vista Genomics, with the rewards varying according to the rarity of each specimen. It's good to know that if you're the first to discover a life form, your reward will be much greater! To achieve this, I recommend searching in areas further away from the center, because the further away you go, the greater the chance of finding unexplored places. These are the initial tips, I believe that over time everyone will see how it works best for them.

Explain how Joust mode works in SMITE 2!

in SMITE 2

Closed

Joust is a fast-paced 3v3 game mode where the team fights together with the main objective of fighting the enemy titan. The map has only one route, with a single line of minions, surrounded by jungle, where each team defends its tower, phoenix and Titan.

It's a fast-paced, chaotic mode that's great for passing the time and having fun when you're with a small group of friends. It's up to you to build your team here, but I think the ideal (for those addicted to winning) is 1 tank to take the damage, a mage or ADC to destroy structures and enemies, and a support/assassin to complement them.

Throughout the map, you can pick up some buffs, with Purple providing life steal and attribute stacking; Blue offering cooldown reduction and mana regeneration; and Red, which is very important for game control, giving a damage effect over time.

In this mode there's also the Lost Knight, a boss who appears in the middle of the map and whoever manages to defeat him gets an absurd advantage. The team that manages to defeat the Lost Knight gains a penetration and health regeneration buff and also disables the most advanced structure the opponent has, be it a tower or a phoenix. It is essential for the team to pursue this to gain an advantage, it must be one of the team's main priorities. In addition, mastering the jungle and securing buffs is also very important, as these are the two main points for those in search of victory. The red buff also gives you a very important advantage.

I often even prefer these faster game modes, they're dynamic and fun, so for those who also enjoy them, I highly recommend them.
