A couple of stuns and then smite often results in a one-shot kill, up to about 12-15k health. Without a booster for red and/or blue, she's very slow. To take full advantage of smite you need to fire off power surge - that's a minimum 19 AP in the appropriate colors. That's tough to pull off without a generator. A viable Black Bolt or boosted Ragnarok can fill in. Their boost tiles are prolific enough that she ought to have enough oomph behind smite to down a foe after 5-6 turns. Match that up with a red generator - 3* Cpt Marvel (if you can find a way to tank her), Hulkbuster, 3* Cyc - and you can build up the smite faster. Once you have enough AP, her stun/damage combos end the match.

For 4thor though, you really need red AND blue, which HB doesn't generate. You want to fire off at least one blue first to make charged tiles before you use the red smite. Ideally you want enough ap to do either one of these in one move: Stun, stun, smite Stun, smite, smite
