How good is Dormammu?

MildStoneHolder

Hi friends! I got a 4* dormammu and I wanted to know whether he is good/best/bad/worst.

great

Decent AW defender but not impressive on attack. Quite complicated and needs good timing.

He’s one of the best AW defenders when duped. When unduped, he still is very good at power control(love that power drain on mediums). His weakness is that he doesn’t hit that hard.

I have 4* rank 5/50 and like others have said, He’s versitile with nullify, power control and degen, but his moveset seems clunky and he’s not easy to use to maximize his damage, IMHO.

He’s great on attack. I run him a lot in tier 2 alliance war as a 5/50 for path 6. He’s the best counter to a dormamu power shield placement because of his power control abilities. He’s a very underrated attacker

Sorry but this really couldn’t be any more wrong. Dormammu is an excellent attacker and not as complicated as many people think. The majority of people see magik as a great attacker for her reliable power control and dormammu can control power even better than she can. He can drain power on his 2nd medium attack and doesn’t need any special attacks to drain it. In doing so you build up dark energy, if you intend to control power in a fight you simply stop using a medium to end a combo once imbued. Instead, end with a light temporarily. Then when you have 2 bars of power or will have at the end of the combo you can end with a medium to drain a bit and deal direct damage, then chain into a sp2 for a guaranteed power drain and lock. This way you get the imbued effects of both the medium attack and special attack. On top of this he has 2 immunities, he can heal, deal large amounts of direct damage from soul bond detonations and nullify every buff the opponent has with a sp1. Couple that with MD and you can go straight into a sp3 sometimes to get a constant flow of dark energy. At first he looks complicated, but with practice he really isn’t that hard to use and he’s incredibly effective. His only downside is his damage output isnt great. But his utility more than makes up for that.

Thanks Bro

He has the best power control in the game.

Really good

One thing of note, his attacks are 100% energy. So don't every use him to fight an awakened Ultron!

Blax4ever

Soul detonation zaps a lot hp from opponents.

You just have to play with him until you get used to his mechanics, then he’s a very effective champ.

P.S. NC evades less from energy attacks

I would dispute that dormammu is still a great defender. He used to be tops, but is now hard countered by blade and especially gladiator hulk. I have a rank 5 5* ghulk and I love seeing dorm placed as any Boss in AW, because I know I can solo that Boss (even if it’s final Boss) no problem. You place dorm as a boss against my battle group and he is going down hard with no kills.

Rasilover

Clearly the best defender in the game with his insane degen.
Gulk's the only dorm degen counter we have
