Dont remind me of pre nerf thor 😥
Like others have said, he was boosted like crazy. This includes the Cosmic-specific boosts. If you'll notice, those Cosmic boosts were absolutely required for the Medusa takedown you saw as they allowed him to get back to an L2 several times before the glaive charges expired. Plus, he had 3 missions completed, which won't always happen.
Corvus also benefits greatly from suicides, which is a terrible setup for your defenders. This means that high level play requires you to re-spec your masteries every time you place your defenders if you're planning on bringing Corvus to attack.
And if he didn't boost like crazy? The glaive charges would have expired and he'd have had nearly a minute during the 3-minute battle where he'd be doing very little damage (no crits) before the glaive charges refreshed. It's tough to be too aggressive with Medusa, meaning he wouldn't get the benefit of the shortened timer with the signature ability. Without boosts and suicides, I'm guessing that battle would have resulted in a time-out.
Corvus is an excellent attacker, he's not a great defender, he's expensive to use, and he certainly has limitations. He may seem overpowered to the casual viewer of videos like the one shown here, but I find his tradeoffs to be pretty balanced.
Not to mention if you need to heal him back up for each fight it costs many lvl4 health pots, which aren't cheap either. And if you are fully boosted like in the video, it costs even more health pots to heal up to full.
That is a toxic way of ruining the community.
This is gonna sound crazy… but 95% of Act5 isn’t stun immune including the bosses except the collector towards the end.
Thor as a pre nerf 5/65 awakened and medium sig would literally FORCE stun immunity as a prerequisite to even THINK about defending against him. If a 5/50 can deal HALF A MILLION in 10 hits imagine vs literally anything else except LoL and stun immune nodes/champs. I’d be genuinely surprised if the game itself didn’t just “give up” because you’d either have to increase the difficulty on every single fight with stun immunity to account for Thor or give up on making hard content.
Hmmmmmm I wonder if its the boosts making him more powerful, maybe just maybe it could be it.
Boosts coupled with suicides...you should see my iceman detonating 2 frostbite charges, 30k damage withouta boost or special.
And domino does what 48k per tick on her sp3 bleed with suicides?
There are a lot of characters that have insane damage output.
Thor wouldn't even be god tier anyways for AW attack as a 5*...no utility just damage and armor break when u can stun.
