DDHK

If you are not buffing him Kabam atleast tweak him and make him like Falcon as whenever DDHK prevent miss he gets his critical attack rating gets increased....!! That way atleast his real utility to prevent miss will get actually utilised more...!!! Because right now even though he is best miss counter you will still have second thought before using him because of his low attack rating...!!! Please make him something useful

Run him with Peni Parker and his damage is genuinely quite good.

He hits hard, but he's a rampup champ with somewhat strict rotations.
He only needs his Regen tweaked for better suicide interaction, and a few more tidbits.

Only those who don't know how to use him say he's bad straight off the bat. Learning a champ before saying your opinion is definite helps prevent people more skilled at X champion to shut you down.

Low attack...? Chain a heavy into an SP2 and tell me about low attack. He is not the best Skill champion, but as long as you don't run suicides, he is a perfectly good and useful champion. Especially duped and especially at maxed signature.

Dude I have him as 5* sig 200....and efforts to bring out maximum damage from him is not worth it especially in act 7 and so on...!!

They said they won't buff him

Oh boy……

There’s a group of us who love the guy.

We think his kit is solid.

Also his heavy front kick is full of anger

He’s my favourite skill champ, never had an issue with his damage. If you build him up properly it’s actually very decent and he has an awful lot of utility with it. Incredibly versatile champ who’s fun to use and helpful in a wide variety of situations. I used my 5* in act 7 plenty and have explored all 3 chapters. The only issue I have with him is that I don’t yet have a 6* unfortunately, if I did he’d be going straight to r3. I’ll link a guide I have for him below should you want any more detailed info on him:

Just to follow up on @MegaSkater67 and @FluffyPigMonster 's posts, DDHK has a lot of utility in his kit. Some of it is behind synergies or max Sig levels, but it is there. He is for me the best Miss counter in the game.

Also, it's clear that DDHK isn't a big yellow numbers character compared to others, and with hindsight probably not meant to be because of his utility. He's not terrible, and can get some nice SP2 damage bursts with a Fury or two, but he's no Civil Warrior with 30+ Furies either. The SP1 looks great but just feels a little sad.

Regen Rate and Suicide Masteries is the most widely debated subject. Having run the numbers of equivalent ranked and sig level champions, the numbers do support a minimum increase to 55% or 60% to DDHK's Base Regeneration Rate. This would, by design, not push his regenerative potential past Kingpin at an equivalent level but slightly improve DDHK's usefulness with Suicide Masteries (and DoT effects) which is widely acknowledged to the main issue with the kit.

Increasing the Regen Rate would not affect DDHK on map nodes (AI doesn't have Willpower). So.no additional testing would need needed there and the scope of the change is more limited and likely require less development effort than many other suggestions.

But Kabam have said no. So unless we get something in a future synergy or Relics.to help with this, he is what he is.
