The Thing Abilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere are all the abilities of The Thing in Marvel Rivals, including some tips and tricks to use them effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unyielding Will<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis ability makes the hero immune to launch-up knockbacks and other displacement effects. In short, you can’t move the thing. This is crucial to remember when you consider Heroes like The Invisible Woman. As they have important knockbacks that can save them from the rush of an oncoming attacker. That’s not going to be the case with the thing and as you’ll find out the name of the game here is pressure and keeping it applied at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rocky Jab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Thing\u2019s left click is a Rocky jab. A quick, short-range punch that deals low damage. While its range is only about 3 m long, you can continuously pump damage into enemies if you manage to stay in range. This one is pretty straightforward, so don’t overthink it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stone Haymaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe thing\u2019s right click is Stone Haymaker. This is where the kit starts to get a bit interesting. On paper, it’s just another punch, but a few things happening with this ability are worth pointing out. For starters, it’s got a bit of a wind-up time, and thus, you have to anticipate when the punch is going to happen. It tracks the enemy you’re trying to punch during that entire ramp-up period. The Stone Haymaker also has an extended range around 10 m, and I’d go so far as to say it has decent range for a melee ability. You can hit enemies that are a few meters away and even flying heroes that are hovering a bit too close to the ground. This is important to remember as enemy heroes are constantly moving in and out of range, but this ability gives you more flexibility. The Stone Haymaker also has Pierce, allowing you to hit multiple Targets in a line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you manage to stack up enemies at a choke point, you can lay into them with this one ability. Finally, it has no cool down. Just like Rocky jab, you can string multiple Stone Haymakers together depending on the situation you find yourself in. During my time with The Thing, I found myself bouncing between both the Rocky Jab and the Stone Haymaker. If I were applying pressure to an enemy healer, I would use left click, opting to pump constant damage into them as I stayed up in their face. However, if an enemy hero managed to slip outside of the incredibly tight melee range of Rocky jab, I would immediately switch to Stone Haymaker, which allowed me to continue my assault. Your goal should be constant pressure, but enemy Heroes have more than enough mobility to exploit the short range of your Rocky jab. This is why being fluid between both abilities is critical to your success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
