General Idea of this build
The sturdiness and the power of the +2 armored thor and the ability to use the 35mm cannon at such a large range is hard to stop. Especially if you have a raven denying scouting observers. Having such a large surface area so zealots cannot get the surround and blue flame helions doing double the damage to zealots, its a pretty mean ball of destruction. This build is unique and unseen and the only counter i can think is an abundance of immortals or/and carriers.

Why the +2 armor Upgrades on thors? Thorzain explained:
"It's mostly to be able to fight heavy gateway units compositions, as they deal relatively low damage but shoot fast (zealots have 2 attacks for example). This lets me worry more about the actual "power units" so to say, the units that aren't gateway units. And as long as i can counter them properly (colossus/air = vikings, mass immortals = more Thor heavy) I feel comfortable in the big fight.
- Use raven to deny scouting observer
- You want about 6-8 vikings,1 raven
- You want about 4-6 helions
- You want about 6-8 Thors and only attack when you have +2 amor
- Use your 35mm cannon on the collosi
- Put a couple of point defense drones down during the fight
- Bring a couple of scv's after the fight
- You want to attack around 160-170 supply
- Very unique build
Here is a replay of Thorzain using this strategy perfectly against oGs.MC
Weaknesses: Gateway all in zealot cheese, and a very aggressive 4 warpgate rush, carriers(because thors will automatically target air first when you want them to target ground)
Neat fact: You want to use your mules on close patches because of the limited time the mule has
