The Diablo Companion Card EVOLVED is one of the 3 Companion Card Gears in the game. It is a piece of Legendary (5-Star) gear, evolved from the Epic (4-Star) gear, Diablo Companion Card. The unevolved version can be obtained from the Last Laugh minigame in Survivor Mode.
Effects[]
- After Tag-In, applies shield that returns 20% - 40% DOT if attacked by Special (Shield lasts longer with each Suicide Squad teammate)
- [EVOLVED] 5% - 15% Chance to apply DOT on Enemy when CRIT received
Mechanics[]
Tag-in shield surrounding its user
Every hit of special attack or crit hit received trigger a burn DOT. DOT damage is based on that hit's damage. Scorpion/Klassic is immune to this DOT as it is a burn DOT.
The DOT lasts about 4 seconds without Suicide Squad teammates, 5 seconds with one, 8 seconds with two, and 11 seconds with three (the character equipping the gear counts towards this). The DOT lasts 10 seconds (each individual hit from the enemy special triggers an individual DOT), adding up to 20%-40% of the damage taken.
Strategy[]
Usually considered as one of the weakest and least used legendary gears in the game, the Diablo Companion Card EVOLVED provides two effects that have limited uses and are overshadowed by other DOT effects from gears like The Ibistick.
The shield on tag-in can punish aggressive characters or make them hesitate. The second effect is rather unpractical because the chance is low, and you generally should be blocking which almost entirely negates crit.
Both effects can backfire if facing The Flash/Blackest Night or Aquaman/Injustice 2 as player can't control when the DOT is applied.
A possible niche use of this card is against enemy specials with lots of hits (e.g. Nightwing/Regime's special 2). Since every hit triggers a DOT, even though the damage is not particularly high (as it is calculated off actual damage dealt), every DOT on a character reduces their power gain. Regime Nightwing, for example, will gain almost no power at all for 10 seconds due to burning 16 times at once.

Ignoring the power credit cost and assuming minimum output (24 red, 24 blue, 24 green), evolving it breaks even after 7 gear pieces shattered.

Trivia[]
- This and Enchantress Companion Card EVOLVED are the only Legendary gears to have only 2 effects. Whereas, others have 3 or 4.
- The fireball effect graphically matches Black Adam/Regime's passive lightning orbs in position and movement. If he has this gear, the fireballs and orbs would sync and merge together visually.
- If Diablo Companion Card is shattered by a special, it will not trigger on that same special.
