Thamuz can play to his strength when working with Supports who provide Movement Speed or CC, such as Angela and Rafaela, because they enable him to stay on his targets.
Thamuz is countered by agile Marksmen, such as Karrie and Irithel, since he lacks CC and relies on Basic Attacks, making him an easy target to kite.
Level up in this order when playing Thamuz:
Chasm Trample
Grand Lord Lava
Molten Scythes
The lord of the Fire Demons who seeks to reignite the flames of the Abyss through war and violence.
Thamuz's Basic Attacks have a chance of 10%–60% (scaling with Lava's Rage) to conjure Lava Energy beneath the target that erupts after a brief delay, dealing 55 (+60% Total Physical Attack)(+8*Hero Level) True Damage. Basic Attacks that don't trigger Lava Energy increase Thamuz's Lava's Rage. While Thamuz is without his Scythes, he gains 25% Movement Speed. After retrieving his Scythes, his next Basic Attack slows the target by 30% and is guaranteed to trigger Lava Energy.
Thamuz tosses Scythes in the target direction. After traveling a set distance or hitting the first enemy hero, they deal 120 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. The Scythes will then slow nearby enemies by 30% and deal 45 (+20% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage every 0.5s. After leaving Thamuz for a short time or reaching a set distance, the Scythes return to him, dragging enemies along their path toward Thamuz. Thamuz can move toward the Scythes or cast the skill again to retrieve them.
Thamuz jumps to a designated area to deal 230 (+60% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and slow the enemy units by 25% for 2s upon landing. If the Scythes are still travelling, they will return to Thamuz and Molten Scythes will reset its CD instantly.
Thamuz spouts the lava within, dealing 300 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies and creating a Cauterant Zone around himself. The Cauterant Zone lasts 9s and deals 30 (+10% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage every 0.5s to enemies in the area. Meanwhile, Thamuz gains 800 (+50% Extra Max HP) extra Max HP, immediately healing for the same amount, and gains 60% Attack Speed. Each time his Basic Attacks or Scythes deal damage, he recovers 1.5% Max HP.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

In teamfights, use Thamuz's 1st Skill to speed up and adjust positioning, then jump into the crowd using his 2nd Skill. Activate his Ultimate followed by a Basic Attack and his 1st Skill, and retrieve the Scythes before continuing with Basic Attacks.

In the laning phase, use Thamuz's 1st Skill, then leap to enemy using his 2nd Skill, causing his Scythes to return and resetting the CD of his 1st Skill. Follow up with a Basic Attack and then his 1st Skill, and tap the skill again to retrieve the Scythes and end with Basic Attacks.

Start with basic boots and then rush Corrosion Scythe for immediate damage. This is the core item to trigger your passive and slow down enemies.

Thamuz Jungler Emblems. Fighter Emblem provides the necessary HP and physical defense for a jungler. Swift talent increases your attack speed to trigger the passive more often. Festival of Blood is the core of this build for extra spell vamp. Every kill increases your healing from skills throughout the game. Brave Smite restores four percent of your max HP when dealing skill damage. This combination makes Tamuz incredibly hard to kill in teamfights.
Battle Spell. Flame Retribution is the best choice for maximum damage and winning duels. Use it to steal physical attack from the enemy and increase your own power. Ice Retribution is a great situational pick against mobile heroes with dash skills. It steals movement speed and helps Tamuz to stay close to targets. Tough Retribution is better against tanky drafts because it steals hybrid defense. Choose your retribution color based on the enemy team composition for the best results.
Tough Boots
Corrosion Scythe
War Axe
Dominance Ice
Oracle
Queen's Wings
Tough Boots: These help reduce the duration of crowd control effects, which is essential for staying in the fight Corrosion Scythe: This item is a must-have. Since Thamuz is an auto-attacker, the slow from Corrosion Scythe makes him incredibly sticky, and enemies without a dash or Flicker simply can't get away War Axe: This item amps up the healing he gets from dealing damage, which is especially powerful when his ultimate is active Dominance Ice: Anti-heal is non-negotiable for any fighter. Dominance Ice makes him even more effective against tanks and fighters by reducing their sustain Oracle: This amplifies his already strong regeneration, making him feel nearly unkillable while his ultimate is running Queen's Wings: The passive on this item helps him survive longer in fights and also reduces the cooldown of his skills
Guardian Helmet
Immortality
Swapping boots for Guardian Helmet late game gives him a massive health pool, turning him into a true menace who can comfortably take on two or three enemies at once while his ultimate is up
Vengeance · Reflect Damage
Swift
Festival of Blood
Temporal Reign
As a fighter, Thamuz works best with the Fighter emblem set Swift: A good chunk of his damage comes from attack speed cause he autoattacker Festival of Blood: Thamuz's whole playstyle revolves around sustain, so any extra regeneration is a huge help Temporal Reign: The typical combo is to engage with your second skill, slow with your first, and then pop your ultimate. Temporal Reign helps get your first and second skills back up faster after ulting, which is perfect for him

Battle Spell. Vengeance is the go-to for team fights and most 1v1 situations. It's absolutely critical when you're up against heroes with high burst damage

The first important equipment for Thamuz is the Corrosion Scythe, when keep basic attacking the enemy hero, their movement speed will decrease which is good for Thamuz, second is the War Axe great for his sustainability and more spell vamps, the rest of the items are for defense and best for Thamuz's Sustainability.
Vengeance · Reflect Damage
Thrill
Festival of Blood
Temporal Reign
I choose this fighter emblem because obviously Thamuz is a fighter and it's good for him. The Thill gives him an extra 16 damage, the Festival of Blood gives a extra 6% spell vamp and every kill or assist gives additional 0.5% spell vamp, up to 8 stacks, meaning if you max the stacks plus the 6% is equal to 10% spell vamp which is good for Thamuz's sustainability, and lastly the Temporal Reign, when casting the ultimate, Thamuz's first and second skill can reduces his normal cooldown to 1.5 times within 4s.
Please like it guys :)
