The Thing is one of the two new heroes that were added during the Season 1.5 update on February 21, 2025. The Thing is a strong Vanguard unit that can take a lot of damage for the team while also dishing out some pain himself.
The Thing is a Vanguard unit through and through. He is a simple hero to pick up and learn, and while there are some unique traits to some of his skills, he is also not that hard to master. The main point you will want to focus on as The Thing is applying pressure to the enemy team. The Thing is a really short-range unit that can deal a ton of damage. His unlimited attacks and charge make him great for engagements, and while he may prove to be a bit squishier than other Vanguards due to lacking a dedicated shielding ability, he still has a tool to get in and out of a fight, allowing you to have a bit of safety. The Thing is a great hero for those who love to constantly be in the heart of a fight, providing pressure, and giving the opportunity for their teammates to destroy their enemies.
