Season 9.5 team-ups · Vanguard
The Thing partner synergies
After the Season 9 overhaul, The Thing has two inbound team-ups, each with a Base effect and an Enhanced upgrade. These are not the same as personal ability stats or lore. Pre-Season 9 combinations are archived under legacy team-ups.
- Two In Onewith Human Torch
Base: Enter an enhanced state upon activation. For the duration, The Thing's fists are violently engulfed in flames. Every Rocky Jab deals splash damage, and every Stone Haymaker creates an explosion, dealing damage in a frontal cone.
Enhanced: When teaming up with Human Torch, Human Torch can lift The Thing into the air and slam him down, dealing damage and Stun to enemies. The Thing then automatically enters his flaming enhanced state upon landing.
- Unbreakable Forceswith Invisible Woman
Base: Generate a layer of Psionic Armor upon activation, granting Bonus Health scaling off currently missing Health.
Enhanced: When teaming up with Invisible Woman, the Psionic Armor is fortified. While active, every time The Thing takes a set amount of damage, the armor pulses out a wave of area healing for allies. Furthermore, the conversion ratio for missing Health into Bonus Health is increased.
