Thamuz Guide

In addition to his ultimate, Thamuz possesses an array of skills that contribute to his dominance. He can leap toward opponents, reducing their speed, which provides strategic advantages during fights. His passive skill empowers him to inflict true damage, further solidifying his role as a powerful adversary. This guide from ONE Esports seeks to equip players with strategies to harness Thamuz's full potential.

Thamuz's Abilities in Mobile Legends

Passive Ability – Infernal Lava

Thamuz's passive ability activates when he wields his scythes. Each basic attack generates a potential burst of lava energy beneath his target. This eruption occurs after a brief delay and inflicts true damage.

Without the scythes, Thamuz gains increased movement speed. Upon recovering the scythes, his subsequent basic attack is enhanced, slowing enemies and ensuring a lava energy burst.

• Attack Speed: Increasing attack speed amplifies the frequency of lava eruptions.
• Enhanced Range: The empowered attack extends his attack range slightly, letting Thamuz leap towards targets within reach.
• Spell Vamp Benefit: The lava energy benefits from spell vamp effects, dealing skill damage.

Primary Skill – Blazing Scythes

This skill allows Thamuz to hurl his scythes in a specified direction, delivering physical damage to the first enemy encountered. After hitting, or when reaching a certain distance, the scythes roll onward slowly, continuing to damage and slow nearby opponents. Eventually, the scythes return to Thamuz, either after a set time or when he strays too far.

• Strategic Upgrade: Prioritize this skill for leveling to maximize impact.
• Enemy Disruption: Retrieve the scythes immediately after a hit to pull enemies closer, potentially interrupting their plans.
• Mobility Boost: Utilize before moving to new positions to trigger the passive movement speed bonus.
• Detection: Uncover hidden enemies in grass by observing if the scythes slow.

Secondary Skill – Fracture Leap

With this skill, Thamuz leaps to a targeted location, causing physical damage and slowing enemies upon impact. If the scythes are in motion, this action recalls them, resetting the cooldown for Blazing Scythes.

• Mobility Tool: Effective for initiating combat or making a hasty retreat.
• Combos: Begin with Blazing Scythes for a quick double lava energy activation.
• Terrain Navigation: Capable of jumping over obstacles and barriers.

Ultimate Move – Scalding Inferno

Thamuz unleashes stored lava, dealing immediate physical damage to nearby adversaries and establishing a scorching zone around him for a few seconds. This zone continues to damage any enemies present. During this phase, Thamuz receives additional max health, heals by the same amount, and gains an attack speed boost. Each attack or recovery of the scythes replenishes a portion of his max health.

• Pre-Combat Use: Initiate this ability before entering battles for optimal advantages.
• Frontline Presence: Stay at the forefront during its activation, as sustained attacks replenish health, dealing continuous damage to enemies.
• Attack Augmentation: The boost stacks with total attack speed, making it wise to prioritize attack speed enhancement items.

An In-Depth Guide to Mastering Thamuz in Mobile Legends

Suggested Battle Spell

A well-chosen battle spell can significantly impact your performance as Thamuz. If versatility and mobility are what you seek, Flicker is ideal. It enables quick escapes from danger or closes the gap on targets. For a more defensive approach, Vengeance is recommended, as it mitigates incoming damage and channels a portion back as magical damage. For those who prefer the jungle role, Retribution is indispensable. It accelerates creep clearing and ensures Thamuz can secure crucial objectives like the Lord or Turtle.

Recommended Symbol

When selecting an emblem for Thamuz, the Fighter emblem stands out as the top choice. It enhances his spell vamp capabilities and provides additional adaptive attack stats and hybrid defense. Within the Fighter emblem, choose Firmness for reinforced physical and magical defense and Festival of Blood for improved spell vamp. If opting for a jungler role, consider Seasoned Hunter, which boosts damage against Lord, Turtle, and creeps. The core talent, Brave Smite, plays a crucial role by replenishing health whenever dealing skill damage, bolstering Thamuz's resilience in conflicts.

Optimal Build for Thamuz

Maximize Thamuz's passive and ultimate power by focusing on attack speed items. The Trinity Build comprising Corrosion Scythe, Golden Staff, and Demon Hunter Sword is particularly effective. As a frontline fighter, incorporating defensive items is crucial. Equip Dominance Ice, Antique Cuirass, or Blade Armor for physical protection, and Athena’s Shield or Radiant Armor for magical defense. If your team has an edge, consider Malefic Roar for enhanced penetration and physical attack. In late-game scenarios, Immortality is vital, ensuring a second chance even if defeated.

Thamuz's Top Gear Setup

• Tough Boots (with Ice Retribution for junglers)
• Corrosion Scythe
• Demon Hunter Sword
• Dominance Ice
• Athena’s Shield
• Blade Armor

Simple Combos to Master

During the early game, exert lane control by combining Molten Scythes with Chasm Trample, coercing opponents to retreat. Start with Molten Scythes, then follow up with Chasm Trample for maximal impact and enemy disruption. After hitting level four, be sure to join team skirmishes, especially during the initial Turtle encounters, to tilt the battle in your favor. Prior to engaging, activate Cauterant Inferno to bolster durability and damage output.

In broad skirmishes, focus on dispatching the enemy’s key damage dealers such as mages and marksmen. Close distances quickly with Chasm Trample or Flicker to ensure these threats are neutralized, thereby securing a tactical advantage for your team.
