What's so much hype about this guy lol? He got me killed against the Cable guy all because of his ridiculously low damage. I mean he is not that bad if you get to know strategic gameplays. But he is no way near as cool as what people show him to be. Hopefully he is better when awakened

    Yeah he needs dupe to be good.
    Also cable reduces poison damage after each time it triggers, and that's voodoo's main sourceof damage, besides power burn

    If you do a special 2, he either powerlocks the oponent or gets a power burn buff thing, that for every hit you power burn and do more damage, and special 1 with lots of load can do good damage. It depends on matches, you wouldn't use voodoo on someone with poison inmunity

    He's not the typical parry & attack champion. Learn how to utilize his abilities and he does everything except get Legends Titles and LOL runs. He's arguably the top mystic champion option for Variant Difficulty in Ultron's Assault.

    Don't you hate it when you spend an hour writing a comment, explaining stats & abilities in detail... then the website says to wait for it to "Get Approved"... SMH

    Feel your pain @RandomizerRuns_4, it helps to save long posts in a word document in case that happens

    He can be good when unawakened, but you rely on a lot of RNG in order for him to reach his full potential. When he's awakened, you remove the reliance on RNG and are in much more control of what you can do with him.

    It really comes down to what @RandomizerRuns_4 summed up. There's a lot of things he can provide for you, and when he's awakened he can do (most of) it all the time! His damage output can be on the lower end in certain scenarios, but in others between venom and power burn it can actually be not so bad.

    Plus, all the utility more than makes up for any lack of damage! He can definitely take some getting used to, as you need to lineup your specials with an odd or even combo to get the utility you're desiring. But once you can get yourself familiar with all his abilities I think you'll find him very handy!

    Edit: I just noticed the OP said he has him unawakened, so in case you're not sure what his, I'll summarize. It mostly reflects your combo meter.

    When you use any special attack on an even combo voodoo gains x% ability accuracy and x% increased buff duration ( 'x' based on sig level). When you use any special attacks on an odd combo, your opponent suffers from 50% ability accuracy reduction (flat value, not influenced by sig level) as well as x% increased debuff duration (x influenced by sig level).

    Fun tip: He also gains that increased buff duration at the start of the fight, so his regen lasts longer when awakened!

    You're correct, thanks for pointing that out! Instead of x% on ability accuracy it is a flat 100%, not effected by sig level.

    I know how you feel bro i only have like 6 5* and my first was Dr. Voodoo. and i can tell you that Voodoo don't bring much to the table i'm terms of damage but his utility is F'n ridiculous and can save you a lot of pots and revives in the long run ( from not dying).
