Counter items

This hero relies heavily on lifesteal and the regeneration effects of his skills. The longer the fight lasts, the greater his chances of winning. Therefore, the key is to reduce regeneration, reduce armor, and optimize your attack speed. Here are the items you can choose.

Necklace of Durance (NOD)

This item is one of the most basic counters for heroes who have thick regen—including Thamuz.

Why is it effective?

Provides 50 percent anti-regen effect
Very suitable for poke mage like Valir, Chang'e, or Lylia
Thamuz can't sustain long in lane or teamfight

If your team doesn't have a hero with a healing reduction effect, it's absolutely mandatory for someone to buy NOD.

Dominance Ice

This item is suitable for tankers or roamers who have to face Thamuz directly.

Dominance Ice Advantages:

Reduces opponent's attack speed and regen
Increases defense so you don't melt when hit by Thamuz's scythe
Very effective if the enemy has a lot of lifesteal heroes

Include Dominance Ice in your build if you are a tank user like Baxia, Tigreal, or Atlas.

Demon Hunter Sword (DHS)

A trusted item for marksmen and fighters who rely on basic attacks.

DHS's advantages against Thamuz:

Damage based on percentage of opponent's HP
It's perfect because Thamuz has a thick cellphone
Keeping you able to deal damage in duels

If you are a Karrie user, Brody, or Miya, DHS will be a deadly combination against Thamuz.

Antique Cuirass

If your role is EXP or tank, this item is a must in your build.

Benefits of Antique Cuirass for Thamuz counter:

Reduces the opponent's physical attack every time you are hit by a skill.
Makes Thamuz's damage feel much smaller
Suitable for heroes who have to put their body in front

The more often Thamuz hits you, the more his damage decreases.

Hero Counters

Besides items, hero selection also plays a big role in countering him. Some heroes can zone him, others have fast bursts, and still others have natural regeneration reduction. Here are the best counter heroes:

X. Borg

X.Borg is one of the best EXP laners to counter Thamuz.

Why did X.Borg win?

Damage from Firaga Armor true damage
Long range poke makes the enemy unable to regenerate
His ultimate can burst before he has a chance to sustain.

Long duels? X.Borg often emerges victorious.

Aldous

Even though his early was weak, Aldous was a nightmare for Thamuz di late game.

Reason Aldous suitable for the counter:

High burst damage that can penetrate armor
Aldous' lifesteal is more stable than his sustain
The enemy doesn't have any lock-down abilities that can stop Aldous farming.

If the stack is 300+, Thamuz will just be food.

Valir

A mage hero who is famous for his annoying CC and anti-dive.

Valir is very effective because:

Skill 2 can push him away
Valir's burn effect consistently cuts regen
Enemies find it difficult to enter teamfights because of Valir's zoning.

He will never be able to catch up with you.

Baxia

A tank that was created to fight lifesteal heroes.

Why Baxia counters this hero?

Baxia's passive reduces enemy regen by up to 50 percent.
High mobility for EXP lane gang
Stable damage over time

Meeting Baxia? Thamuz immediately felt vulnerable.

Cici

A new EXP laner who is very strong for mechanical battles.

Cici's strengths when fighting him:

Agile movement skills make it difficult for Thamuz to touch
Cici's Lifesteal is more active early on
Can poke while moving

Cici can win the lane as long as you play aggressively early.

Thamuz is indeed a difficult hero to counter due to his sustain and durability. But with counter items like the ones above, you can make him lose his grip.
