Wow. Dormammu stans are right: That kit is awesome to play
Hi, all! Hope all is well!
First of all, I am posting at 4 a.m. because I am on vacation! I could be sleeping but the grind doesn’t stop just because you do! 😎👍
But anyway, I just wanted to pop in here and tell a quick story: A long time ago — it’s been years, now — I had written a long post about a character, and someone came into the thread and dropped a ton of knowledge about the Dread Dormammu, basically out of nowhere.
I simply can’t remember which character I was talking about originally, but it had turned to how Power Control was hugely important as a piece of utility, and this person came and explained that from their perspective, Dormammu was the best character to lock opponents down and that was that. No more discussion required.
Now, before people come in and explain that yes, Dormammu doesn’t have elite DPS, yes, I hear you. That’s true.
But I just duped my 6-star Dormammu a few days ago, and since I had always felt that it’s nice to have the character awakened and most importantly, while I cannot remember the person, I always remembered how passionate and excited they were to talk about the Dread Lord of the Dark Dimension, and in the back of my mind, I said, “One day, I am gonna see what is up with this.”
Again: Like a lot of kits from that timeframe, the ability to escalate the DPS simply isn’t built into the kit itself.
However, there are some interesting and useful synergies that can give you a little more pop — not gamebreaking, but noticeable — as well as a couple that really enable some serious sustainability.
Yeah, you gotta play the kit. None of it is free; there’s things you have to do, including reading the kit and practicing.
That being said: It’s definitely not one of the hardest kits in the game, and I have to admit, once I had practiced a little, I found it perfectly suitable for clearing Galen’s Legendary Terrax bosses without too much pain.
Yes, I know it’s just a Legendary side quest. But that’s my thing about this game: You get bored faster if you just load up your mains and blow through every single piece of content. I think clearing Legendary side quests with characters you don’t really use very much is a great way to keep the game relatively interesting, even eight years into it.
So, that’s it — I just wanted to give a shout-out to the person who took the time to explain that Dormammu is worth checking out, and I am glad I did — I might take the 6-star to Rank 2, which I had never considered doing before.
