Stats / Weaknesses:

• Thor is a multi-phase boss.
• His attacks are often quick and can deal significant damage.
• Specific attacks are unblockable or guard-breaking, requiring precise dodges or blocks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Thor uses Dash Grab, Dash Shockwave, and Punch-Kick Combo. This phase ends after two health bars are depleted.
2. Phase 2: Thor retains Phase 1 attacks and adds Ground Slam, an unblockable area-of-effect attack. This phase ends when one health bar remains.
3. Phase 3: Thor retains previous attacks and adds Hammer Throw and Shockwave, Hammer Blow (unblockable, requires block), and Hammer Combo (three hits, blockable). This phase includes a scripted defeat and QTEs.
4. Final Phase: Thor retains all previous attacks and adds Lightning Strikes (unblockable, marked by red circles) and Hammer Shockwave Combo (unblockable hammer strike, guard-breaking hit, ground shockwave).

Strategy:

• General: Stay mobile, observe Thor's tells, and react accordingly. Prioritize dodging unblockable attacks and blocking or dodging blockable ones.
• Dash Grab: Dodge to the side or roll backward.
• Dash Shockwave: Dodge or block. There's a slight delay before the shockwave.
• Punch-Kick Combo: Block the first two punches, then roll away from the third hit (guard-breaking elbow).
• Ground Slam: Quickly back away when Thor raises his arms. It's unblockable.
• Hammer Throw and Shockwave: Dodge the thrown hammer, then be ready to dodge the subsequent ground shockwave.
• Hammer Blow: Block this unblockable attack with L1.
• Hammer Combo: Block all three swings. The third hit can knock you back.
• Lightning Strikes: Avoid the red circles on the ground. If hit, mash X to break free from stun.
• Hammer Shockwave Combo: This is a difficult combo. Dodge the first unblockable strike, block or dodge the guard-breaking second hit, and dodge the final shockwave.
• Scripted Defeat: In Phase 3, you will experience a scripted defeat with QTEs. Do not worry, the fight continues.
