Best Heroes to Counter Thamuz

In the ever-evolving arena of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Thamuz remains a formidable presence. Known for his resilience and aggressive play style, he distinguishes himself with the unique advantage of not relying on mana, allowing for continuous engagement with his adversaries. His skills, equipped with short cooldowns, make him accessible to both new and experienced players, whether navigating the jungle or mastering the EXP lane.

Despite his strengths, Thamuz is not unbeatable. The current meta, which favors versatile heroes capable of inflicting true damage, has exposed vulnerabilities in his tactics. As a result, players seeking to outplay Thamuz have turned to counter-picks that exploit his weaknesses, allowing them to gain the upper hand in the Land of Dawn battles.

Five Powerful Heroes to Overcome Thamuz in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Dyrroth

In the battle for dominance in Mobile Legends, Dyrroth stands out as a formidable challenger to Thamuz. Known for his powerful presence in the early stages of the game, Dyrroth excels in weakening his opponent's defenses. His second ability, Spectre Step, offers a significant advantage by reducing an enemy's physical defense by 75%. This makes Dyrroth particularly effective when matched up against Thamuz in the EXP lane, where he gains an edge in one-on-one confrontations.

Pairing Dyrroth with aggressive teammates like Clint or Ling during early-game ganks can enhance his effectiveness. To maximize his chances against Thamuz, players should equip the Vengeance battle spell and prioritize items like Dominance Ice, which are beneficial even if Thamuz activates his Grand Lord Lava. These strategic choices enhance Dyrroth's resilience and offensive capabilities in encounters with Thamuz.

Argus

Argus, while not widely favored in recent updates, offers a unique advantage against Thamuz, especially in long-lasting duels. His skillset is ideal for engaging Thamuz, taking advantage of abilities like Meteoric Sword and Demonic Grip. By employing these, Argus can engage Thamuz effectively, creating opportunities to dominate in the laning phase.

By the time Argus reaches level four, activating his ultimate, Eternal Evil, when his health falls below a critical threshold, can turn battles in his favor. Using the Execute spell can help secure a kill, even when Thamuz's ultimate is activated. For Argus, building a Demon Hunter Sword early in the game is crucial to ensuring his attacks have a significant impact on Thamuz's enduring defenses. Investing in items like Blade of Despair can further bolster Argus’ assault capabilities when the team is leading.

Chou

Chou's strength lies not just in his ability to deliver damage but in his versatile skill set that counters Thamuz effectively. He excels in keeping Thamuz's potent combo at bay while creating opportunities for tactical retreats. With his Jeet Kune Do ability, Chou can engage or disengage from battles, tactically outmaneuvering attacks and setting up potential team fights.

Chou's strategic prowess shines with the combination of Jeet Kune Do and the Way of the Dragon. This combination can knock Thamuz towards teammates, allowing the team to concentrate its firepower. In situations where Chou has gained a significant gold lead, opting for attack-focused gear such as Blade of the Heptaseas, Blade of Despair, and Malefic Roar can enhance his impact in duels against Thamuz.

Valir

Valir is a significant challenge for melee heroes like Thamuz due to his range and crowd-control capabilities. His arsenal of magical spells includes a knockback, a slow, and a stun, which can severely disrupt an opponent's strategy. Valir's ultimate, Vengeance Flame, amplifies his spells and momentarily cleanses debuffs, delivering increased movement speed and enhanced spell effects.

When Thamuz approaches aggressively, Valir can counter swiftly by activating Vengeance Flame and pushing Thamuz back with Searing Torrent. The repeated use of Burst Fireball enhances Valir’s control over the battlefield by triggering additional damage and stuns. Equipping items like Ice Queen Wand can further slow Thamuz, while the Necklace of Durance curtails his regenerative abilities.

Kimmy

Kimmy offers a tactical advantage against Thamuz with her ability to maintain distance while attacking. With her unique targeting mechanics using the Spray Gun, Kimmy can attack while moving, making her difficult for Thamuz to pin down.

During encounters, Kimmy efficiently harasses Thamuz with Energy Transformation and basic attacks. Should he draw near, deploying Chemical Refinement allows Kimmy to escape and continue her barrage. Once Thamuz's health is sufficiently reduced, Maximum Charge can seal the victory.

Kimmy benefits from purchasing Ice Queen Wand, as its slow effect hinders Thamuz’ movement. This ensures Kimmy maintains her advantage, keeping foes at bay. If Kimmy is unavailable, heroes like Granger or Karrie are viable substitutes due to their ability to maintain advantageous positioning and consistent damage output.
