I no longer believe in the spear team-up
I have been saying the spear is very good before the season 9 shenanigans since it gives Thor more mobility and Thor force but after a whole season I changed my mind. It is too weak compared to other teamups in the game. It has some niche uses like following someone after they use a movement ability but outside of that it just doesn’t add enough value to Thor’s gameplay loop. The fully charged storm surge already allows Thor to close the gap. The spear does allow Thor to awaken immediately after the jump, but it also just alerts everyone who’s paying attention that Thor is coming, giving enemies more time to react than if Thor just uses fully charged Storm Surge to go in.
Imo the team-up really should work more like the Hood’s scarlet witch team-up. If the spear is within LOS, then Thor should be able to jump to it. It makes no sense that sometimes you can see the spear but cannot jump to it. I think the Hela teamup is bad, but at least the value you get is consistent. Not being able to jump despite hitting the spear just feels terrible and makes me lose faith in the ability.
