If you want to make Thoran perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with Thoran that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.
Thoran’s Signature Item should be at +30. Thoran has such an overpowered Signature Item giving him extra survivability and his Retaliation can wipe out a whole team at once when he’s the last survivor and the situation favors it. If you use him (and you should), get it!. If you want to learn more about my recommended priority how you should invest into Signature Items in AFK Arena, check out my SI Priority Guide here.
Furniture Recommendation
Overall it’s recommended to get Thoran’s 9/9 furniture set bonus. Thoran’s 3/9 bonus can grab enemies outside his ultimate range which makes cheese more effective against certain setups. The extra energy from the full furniture will also help but won’t change that much that you “have to” get it (still really nice) If you want to learn more about in what order to unlock your heroes furniture sets, check out my furniture priority guide here.
Recommended Artifacts
Duras Eye is the best artifact to run with Thoran in most cases, although you can also consider running Duras Call or Barricade as backups, depending on your team setup and what artifact you have available.
Engraving
In terms of Engravings, your final goal should be E11.. Actually not very important to engrave him as his cheesing rely on reflecting damage and some stats increase is nice but not mandatory for him Learn more about my recommended engraving priority here.
