Doomsday/Containment

Rarity	Base Stats	Price	Unlock
Gold	700/600	220,000	Challenge Mode, Challenge Booster Pack, Special Challenge Booster Packs, Halloween Pack, Survivor Pack (4th Edition)

Evolutionary Rebirth: Three times per match, and in the face of certain defeat, Doomsday will immediately regenerate 50% of his TOTAL HEALTH and POWER while receiving a 10% DAMAGE INCREASE.

Containment Doomsday can be a recurring nightmare. Though his stats don't paint him as one, he has one of the most forgiving passives that allow him to defy death and to return stronger and ready to retaliate. What doesn't kill him truly makes him stronger.

He can be unlocked through Challenge Mode. Otherwise, he can be randomly obtained from Most Wanted Packs, Challenge Booster Packs and the newly-added Apokolips Darkseid Challenge Pack, but obtaining him through a pack will not unlock him for direct promotions.

Passive

Doomsday/Containment is an unyielding monster of a card. Able to regenerate for 50% of his Health and Power for three times per match, he's notoriously difficult to get rid of for good. While he is no longer used as often due to the fact that his Resurrections mean he makes poor use of healing gear, he is still very powerful for low level playing as his deceptively low base stats will cause you to be matched against easier opponents and his passive will sustain him even if you don't have sufficient Gears.

He is also a great character for Survivor Mode due to his passive being able to absorb one-shot nukes 3 times per match, and his resurrections are unaffected by healing suppression.

The health he gains is not affected by healing reduction, like Killer Frost/Regime's passive. The power he gains is also unaffected by power dampening like Killer Frost/Prime's passive, and his passive sets his power to 50% (unless he is already at higher power in which case it is unaffected), not adding 50% power. If he is KO'ed by a power drain special, power drain will occur before the power gain from his passive (this may glitch causing him to look like his power is drained after, even if he actually still has the power; however, if he had more than 1.5 bars of power before, he can be drained this way). However, if he has 2 pieces of the LexCorp Set, it has been observed he gains the reversed power after his passive, allowing him to stack more than 50% power after his resurrection.

Evolutionary Rebirth

His passive is partially a reflection of Raven/Prime's passive: His passive negates large amounts of damage from hard one hits, while barely affecting specials with many hits, while her passive is extremely easy to trigger on multi-hit specials but means little to one-hit damage when she is at low health.

When Containment Doomsday reaches 1 health, damage over time effects stop damaging him and do not trigger a resurrection. However, they remain attached and apply their secondary effects (increased damage taken from bleed, reduced damage output from poison, etc.), and when he is resurrected they will continue damaging him if duration permits.

Containment Doomsday had the highest total health (1500 base, or 142,155 max prior to gear) in the game until he was surpassed by Scorpion/Mortal Kombat X. However, since MKX Scorpion's extremely high health is due to his passive's bonus health from promotions, he only truly surpasses Containment Doomsday at EVII.

Gear

When used with the full Fourth World set, Containment Doomsday not only can regenerate a fourth time, but also can regenerate large amounts of health while blocking and spamming his first special from his passive's activation.

Since he can gain power easily from his resurrections, Batman Ninja Helmet is a great option to make him more durable, as well as help him resist power drain.

Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Doomsday. Having a card that "counters" Doomsday does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

• Lex Luthor/Krypto: His massive health boost can be used to increase Doomsday's low base health.
• Green Lantern/John Stewart: An interesting choice, as he can act as a 4th life saver for Doomsday.

Good Against

• Raven/Prime, Raven/Teen Titans, The Joker/Insurgency & The Joker/Prime: He can afford to be at low health and this will minimize the impact of their passives even if he triggers it.
• Batgirl/Cassandra Cain: Same as above, as his low current health will cause her passive to do much less damage.
• Ares/Prime: Ares' infamous one-hit unblockable SP2 can easily be absorbed by Containment Doomsday's passive, although Doomsday needs to weather basic attacks and specials due to Ares' block disable for 10 seconds.
• Killer Frost/Regime, Killer Frost/Prime: Their passives do not affect the amount of health or power he regenerates from his passive, respectively.
• Catwoman/Arkham Knight: When tagged out, Doomsday’s health will stop at 1 and won’t have an effect on his resurrections.
• Batman/Batman Ninja, Batman/Arkham Knight: Their infamous special 2s have most of their damage concentrated on the last hit, making Doomsday good at absorbing it, although their s1 may fare better.

Countered By

• Characters whose specials have a large amount of hits in general, such as Deathstroke/Arkham Origins, Killer Frost/Prime, Doomsday/Blackest Night, Solomon Grundy/Earth 2, and The Flash/Metahuman, etc.
• Batman/Flashpoint: When Batman uses a special attack, all forms of healing including resurrection is disabled and Batman's high base damage and crit chance allow for easy knockout.
• Harley Quinn/Arkham: Arkham teammates can greatly take advantage of her unblockable SP2 chance (especially those with many hits). If their SP2 can deal enough damage, it will use up Doomsday's revives quicker, ensuring his early defeat.

Trivia

• If the Fourth World Gear set is equipped to him, upon the first knock out, he will be resurrected by the set's effect, instead of by his own passive. The same can be said when he's paired with Green Lantern/John Stewart.
• He technically has the lowest health out of all gold cards, but his passive makes up for it by giving him a large amount of "invisible" health that is not included in his base stats.
• Due to his passive, his practical base stats are equivalent to 910/1500 without other modifiers, although the damage increase is triggered during resurrections and is not throughout the match.
• He's the only version of Doomsday to have a higher damage stat than health stat.
  • Additionally, he has the least amount of "spikes" and is the only one with a suit covering almost his entire body (as compared to the other versions, whom only covered below the torso).
