Hi Everyone,
"When everything else has fallen apart, Victor von Doom finds his time to shine. After taking control of a massive cache of energy, he restores the universe as best as he can, becoming its creator and unquestionable ruler - the God Emperor of Battleworld.
Even armed with omnipotence, Doom remains cautious, relying on only a trusted few to advise and execute his vision. Is his paranoia just a hazard of the job, or do old enemies still haunt the shadows?"
Check out the brand new 5-Star Doctor Doom, and find out how you can recruit him onto your roster!

So passive true heal (dependent on opponent matches) and team burst heal for 10 yellow AP? Sure, OK.
I guess he's at least better than Kingpin.0 -
Appears to be an attempt to counter Okoye somewhat?
Assume his Black steals more than 1 of each mana type.
Might be annoying on defense but niche for pvp and pve.1 -
That’s a nice targeted nuke for 9 black. AP drain forgiven. The burst healing seems so weird, and on 2 different abilities.
EDIT. Oooh, self true heal, not burst.0 -
So he passively steals AP in his two active colors and heals himself, actively heals his allies and shuffles the board, and then hits heavy but also drains a little in non-Doom AP colors. And any team that blitzes to stomp Doom and get rid of his healing will lose their strikes/protects/attacks in the process.
I'll need to see it in action. Sounds like the kind of character I'll enjoy (regardless of where he lands in the meta), if the numbers work out well. Glad to see a 5* character with the blue/black/yellow palette.5 -
Can the board shuffle from his Yellow cause cascades, or is it like Quake's green power that does a shuffle with intentionally no cascades?3

Powers that can cause cascades are always worded as 'swap X tiles'.
The real question is whether it's better to get him in the special store with Strange/Banner or wait till he enters latest with Cable/Kingpin. Neither option seems great

I hope this release is in support of some new future meta? I'm just not seeing Doom's viablity outside of Cloak and Dagger's pvp event. Doom can be useful when you get to select the 3rd partner. But in events that you only choose 2/3? you give up alot 5* damage going with doom.0
-
As an aside, if the devs didn't know. Kitty Pryde actually has a PhD in Astrophysics from university of chicago. That actually means she's a doctor. at least as much of a doctor as banner. and way more dangerous...7

Hmmmm... might be a new third to try with Thorkoye in Sim. Right now I'm using Jessica Jones and have to occasionally heal her after several battles. Between Okoye yellow and Doom's passive (albeit somewhat conditional) true heal, might not even need healthpacks at all.
Though right now Jess tanks red over Thor, so I'd be losing that, which isn't ideal.
I suppose this could be somewhat of a counter to Gritty teams, but that essentially means sacrificing Doom each match to make that happen. Maybe that's fine once and awhile, but you certainly can't sustain a PvP climb doing that every single match.
I do like that passive that helps feed his black nuke though. It's only one AP, but that's pretty cool.0 -
Doom oki would be pretty decent on defense.
Outside of that Thor/ok/jj still ruling all0 -

Powers that you have to die to work have little interest to me. I’m cool with this bang average release because it eases the pressure for CP and LTS. I can get one cover and carry on hoarding.
That yellow and black steal might have use down the line or in pve in CL 9 and if you have to break hoard at some point with him in it, well then he’s not a complete lost cause like Kingpin. His heal is decent enough but thor won’t be matching that yellow for okoye.

That clearing the board of special tiles if Doom falls is built to counter Kitty and Grocket teams. Because once you take away special tiles from Kitty and Grocket teams, the match is essentially over. Grocket has a few more offensive moves, but the only reason he's brought to most matches are the insta-tiles on the board. Kitty without tiles to boost is a nice looking paperweight. That power alone is interesting. I like his black, period. It's a solid ability.

Looks solid (literally a solid wall of Doom!), but in an ideal world I'd have liked to see Fallen Favor and Render Unto Doom complemented by anything other than a burst heal.
At least reshuffle the board is 100% thematic.1 -
Does yellow heal himself?
0 -
Honestly surprised the token being doctor themed doesn't have the revamped Doctor Octopus in it, but rather one of the worst 5*s going. Revamp on the cards soon, maybe? Having Strange in there makes sense because he was Doom's right hand in Battleworld.With regards to Doom himself, I love the character enough to not really care how good he is. I just want him. That said, I do like his setup. He's not meta dominating for sure, but he's a solid 5* from what I can tell. His nuke is cheap for what it does, especially if you don't utilise red, green or purple. And even then it only costs one of each.He's *kind of* a counter to Kitty Grocket, but only by dying. Not completely viable, but a good way to fix an otherwise potentially bad situation.I love his blue passive though. That'll be awful on defense, though against Thor/Okoye it's not going to do much if Thor's at half health. They can just get the yellow they need through Thor's passive. Though the cascades could still cause matches...I hope I get better luck with Doom than I'm having with Cable. Just got my 9th yellow...[Edit] Also, hoping they make a 4* Infamous Iron Man at some point.0

Demiurge sure is making it easy to hoard with all the mediocre 5*'s they've been releasing.

He's good for extended pushes and goes well with Thanos as he can keep his self healed.
Doom Thanos X could be decent1 -
The more I think about it, I think they were going for a defensive character more than an offensive one.
Initially I thought it was kinda costly to sacrifice Doom just to effectively counter Gritty teams. But flip the script. If you're a Gritty team, you WANT to kill Doom last. But as the match drags on, you run the risk of him keeping his team alive with yellow and nuking you with black. There's also more chances of you accidentally feeding him too. If you can manage to keep your strikes and buff them up, then it's maybe not an issue. But you WILL have to save him for last.
But I think they were going more for specifically an Okoye counter. If I'm using Thorkoye, what do I primarily match to keep Okoye out front and Thor in back? Yellow and black (and TU) tiles. Against Doom, that heals him AND feeds his team heal and nuke.
It seems his value may be more in prolonging and dragging out matches to the point that people will just start skipping him altogether rather than deal with the hassle.
I could be way off base, and I still don't think he's necessarily amazing, but willing to give him the benefit of doubt right now. I'll reserve further judgment until actually using him.9 -

I usually fear the usefulness of a character with 1 direct-damaging ability, but this is a big one and should be fed a bit passively. Got to agree with others, eventually this could disrupt things somewhat.
His healing on blue should not be much of a factor though. Assuming you leave enemy Doom for last, he will have no way to gain health, and then you finish him with abilities at once.
Vs: Kitty/Grocket, run near-dead Doom, Thor, IW-Cap. Ensure Doom dies early so he will remove all enemy specials. Let Thor gain yellow for Cap's revive. Bring Doom back anytime before you win. Repeat the process next match since Doom will have minimal true health to start again.
