    I’m calling her Dr.Thor. Anyone who earns a Ph D has the title of doctor. 
     Doctor Jane Foster is Dr. Thor. 

    Doctor Stephen Strange
    Doctor Octopus
    Doctor Doom
    if the men keep their phd title, so should Jane

    I can go with Dr. Thor (Docthor? no, that's horrible).  lnsaneJane just reflects here playstyle. 

    But there are some characters who don't keep the Dr. when in hero/villian form: Lizard (Dr. Connors), Mr. Fantastic (Dr. Reed Richards), Invisible Woman (Dr. Sue Richards), Hulk (Dr. Bruce Bannor), Hank Pym, and Beast (Dr. McCoy).  So there is precedent to drop the Dr.  But with that said, Dr. Thor has a nice ring to it.

    I just champed Thor this morning. I find she's pretty darn crazy with Shang-Chi She quickly helps generate AP Shang-Chi can use, the charged tiles generated benefits Shang-Chi very well of course. The board shake from Thor doesn't mess things up at all from my brief experience using these two together. It's been quite helpful actually and even if her board shake prevents a match or to for Shang-Chi, using his red pretty much negates that problem being able to manipulate the board to get those matches back. 

    It's also nice her most powerful color is red, so you can run Valkyrie and go crazy. Being able to add so many charged tiles, along with her yellow active and red if you want to polish off a close to death enemy instead of using Shang-Chis red is a nice option to have.

    Played a bunch of matches with JT and Iceman. Iceman’s stun does go off nearly every turn, but a full stunlock is mostly out of reach unless the board has tons of blue. It’s a lot of one turn stunning, which is still great, and that team definitely has some defensive value, both intramatch and for sub 800 climbing, but it’s short of overwhelming. You also can’t hop with that team. It’s slow, bordering on very slow.

    JT plus Big Wheel is quite fun, and JT/Hafthor/BW is a super fun Sim team. I got to 20 speed points on the regular and you can fire power(s) every turn. JT/Pol floods the board with specials incredibly fast. JT/KK/Pol hits hard (though way short of Oko/KK/Pol).

    Don’t take Sersi vs JT. It doesn’t matter what power you choke, you’re supercharing her other two. If you’re hitting BRB, bring a stun or plan to take him out early. You’ll be feeding him ap every turn, Clash of the Worthy is coming out early.

    Yeah. I thought this duo wasn’t gonna work that well but when I tried it, it’s like they’re yin/yang or order/chaos. There’s a strange balance with this duo that works and works fast. I use Iceman as the 3rd for defense and I pretty much have all my bases covered (although I don’t have a black outlet but eh….. no big deal).

    I've been using Thor, BRB, Polaris, it's been very effective for the last two SCL 10 challenge nodes. BRB ends up firing his green pretty easily 3 to 5 times. You have options with blue, using BRBs early on to get more defense tiles out and later in the match Polaris for stunning. Thor and and BRB get the AP adding up very fast.

    Same. If Jane is champed you pretty much can do challenge nodes unscathed. Only rough patch is if you can't match any specials early. That's only happened once. You make one early shield match and it is pretty much over. You very quickly are drowning in AP and can stun lock the entire enemy team. Game over.

    So I’ve been using her pretty regularly the last couple weeks, and I think it’s pretty clear she is a top 10 5*

    With required 5* Jane I can feel the great synergy with SC although I only have a 1/1/3.
    She shakes up the board and if there are no moves, using blue gives a whole new board for to get red or purple.
    Also she charging tiles is extra TNT for SC.

    Same and agreed. Her powers are so spammable and both self and teammate supercharging, she can punch way above her weight in pick 2. I took down a 550 Col/SW with 456 JThor/Thor, and easily (with a TU stun). And given how many D wins I keep waking up to, and how little problem I’m having offensively with anything in Sim (except the champed Chasm team), Jthor/Pol/BRB is probably the next dominant SIM team and it’s obviously a great Challenge node team. The only thing JThor lacks is pick 2 defense. I have zero hesitation saying she’s t10, and suspect she’s t5.

    The moment shield sim gives you JThor when you reached high points, you know that she's in the top 5. It's going to take a while because many players are skipping Gargantos and KK.

    My mmr opponents at >1800 points are mostly Polaris/BRB/Kitty, Apocalypse/Wanda/Colossus and a recent one would be SC/Wanda/Colossus.

    I am not at all surprised to hear this as I think she was, on paper, the most obviously valuable 5* released since SC last year. That said, I was unsure whether she would be an extremely good 5* who fit in right at the top of the current game roster (i.e., a top ~10 or 15ish character), or whether she would redefine the meta completely (i.e, a top ~5 character).
    What or your thoughts? Is she a more or less essential 5* now (like SC) or is she just a very good option to have, but not essential (somewhere closer to Crystal or Garg)?

    She single/handedly puts Scarlett Steel on notice and even wipes out all Apoc’s repeaters in one turn. I think she’s better than HalfThor as you don’t have to drop her life to half to shake the board up. She really puts any character who relies on special tiles in a bind to the point that they’re basically unusable vs FosThor. 

    She hits hard. She’s self reliant. Her powers blend together well. And because of her blue passive, she’s very unpredictable to play against. 

    I feel like she’s top 5.

    She's easily top 5 even though she's not fast. Those cascades can be crazy even when played by AI. I means, cascades are AI biggest defense. Pair her up with characters who fire powers cheaply and players playing against them will be walking away with healthpack usage more frequently. She is so good she has no problem soloing 3 opponents. Yellow is probably her worst power because it's like resetting the game back to turn 1, so fire it only when you need to end the game.

    @Vhailorx it depends on what you value. She’s the most well rounded character in the game. She has strength in every area. But, to whatever extent it matters, she doesn’t supplant the meta in any way. She won’t take SC, Apoc or Oko’s spot in pve for tip top players. She doesn’t have a partner in pick 2 pvp that puts her above the Col/SW team. She can’t win Shield Training single handedly like SC. Will the absolute top players, who are entirely focused on placements, use her any time she’s not boosted? Doubt it. 

    On the other hand, if SC is the 1a character anybody entering 5 star play should build around, I’d say Thor is the 1b, and I’m not positive he’s the a and she’s the b. She has advantages over SC in that she plays great with almost everyone, not just a handful of characters, and her blue gives her tremendous in match defense *and*, importantly, versatility to pick a defensive strategy, whereas SC is 95% best defense is a good offense.
