Hero Killer: For each KNOCKOUT blows that Doomsday deals, he gains back 50% of his maximum health.

Doomsday is a destructive character. While his base stats aren't terribly high, his passives allows him to regenerate large amounts of health and keep on fighting, essentially giving him up to two life bars and making him excellent in absorbing damage early in the match. His powerful regeneration makes him a great asset in low level play, being able to heal significantly without using gear or hampering his damage output.

Strategy

Basic Attacks

Basic combo	Damage pattern (% of damage stat)	Total (including Combo Ender)
Light (Combo Ender)	2% - 2% - 2% - (3%)	9%
Heavy	5% - 7%	12%

He has an unusual heavy combo, consisting of 2 hits instead of 3.

Passive

Doomsday is an excellent card for new players: one of the very few cards to have a strong, practical innate self-heal which gives him great strength both in single and multiplayer. When starting to evolve gear, he could focus on more basic attack damage to mow down his opponents faster while most other characters will be forced to dedicate some effort to heal self gear.

Doomsday regains back his lost health each time he KO'd an opponent!

His passive is also really great for anyone who needs a tank card. As stated, he can at max, have 200% of his normal health. His health stat is decent to begin with and although his damage stat could be greatly improved, he still is a good card for competitive play.

To make the most use of his passive, Doomsday has to deal two knock out blows. Teammates that grant increased maximum health also synergize well with his passive. A great setup would be a maxed (E7, level 50) Doomsday teamed with two support teammates at E0 (good choices would be, for example, Harley Quinn/Arkham or Harley Quinn/Animated and Lex Luthor/Krypto), which allows Doomsday to easily be the main damage dealer while also being a nearly-unkillable tank.

Due to his strong basic attacks and large heals that do not require specials to be used, Doomsday is a great character to use to complete "without blocking" and "without using specials" Bonus Missions for new players.

Gear

His signature gear, Mutated Bone Spikes is a great option for Doomsday thanks to the unblockable chance on basic attack and heal on SP1, as he can chain his SP1 from heavy combo and boost his survival capability even further.

Gauntlets of Azrael is also a good choice, because it can greatly increase his max health while also provide Lifedrain on combo enders and heal his teammates.

His one-hit SP2 is also a effective weapon against characters that trigger their passive at health threshold, such as Raven/Prime, so power generation and SP2 gears are recommended. Building basic damage/crit gears on him can also be a good idea, and will also make him resistant to Killer Frost/Prime's power dampening since he could essentially heal efficiently with basic attacks.

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

• Harley Quinn/Animated: Harley's damage and power generation boost complements Doomsday's already decent damage stat. Her power generation boost will assist in Doomsday's slower-than-normal power generation which will allow him to use his special attacks, which excels at KO'ing opponents, more frequently and utilizing his passive.
• Batman/Prime: Batman's damage boost will make Doomsday's special 2 damage even more deadly then it already is.
• Lex Luthor/Krypto and Harley Quinn/Arkham : Their health boost can make Doomsday even tankier than ever.

Good Against

• Any character, or team for that matter, that has low health. This allows him to knock them out easily, and also restore a massive amount of health.
• Aquaman/Prime: His soldiers will count towards Doomsday's passive, turning them into quick pick-me-ups.
• Characters and gear with health activated abilities:
  • Raven/Prime: Doomsday has a strong, one-hit SP2 which is the best at KO'ing Raven and prevents her notoriously annoying health-swaps.
  • Green Lantern/John Stewart: Similar to above as it prevents the Emergency Barrier John provides to himself and his teammates.
  • Astro-Harness: Similar to above as it avoids the invulnerability provided by the Harness.
• The Joker/Prime, and The Joker/Insurgency: They will take his health away for less than a second before Doomsday's passive overrides theirs, making him the perfect counter to them.
• The Joker/Unhinged Suicide Squad: If Doomsday KO's The Joker controlled minion, it will also count towards his healing passive.

Countered By

• Any character who has high health: If a character is bulky, Doomsday can not knock them out easily, especially with his low damage, and therefore has a harder time activating his passive (ability).
• Characters that can counter healing.
  • Batman/Flashpoint: His heal disable will prevent Doomsday from gaining health from defeating an opponent.
  • Killer Frost/Regime: Her heal suppression will cripple Doomsday's passive by a heavy amount, making it next to useless.
  • Superman/Blackest Night: His necrotic damage will reduce Doomsday's max health, further capping his healing ability.
• Batgirl/Arkham Knight: Her passive makes it harder for him to knock out Arkham characters.
• Martian Manhunter/Blackest Night: Martian Manhunter's defense buff greatly reduces Doomsday's offensive power.
• Batman/Batman Ninja, and Zod/Prime: Knocking out their teammates will help trigger their passive.

Abilities

Here are Doomsday's abilities.

Ability	Classification	Description	Usage
Ultimate Liftoff	First Special	Doomsday delivers a brutal, upwards shoulder attack.	Rapid Swipe
Earth Shake	Second Special	Doomsday's mighty fist pounds the Earth, demolishing his opponent.	Rapid tap
Mass Destruction	Super Move	Doomsday's strength is unopposed as he delivers annihilation to his foes. UNBLOCKABLE.	Tap

His SP1 can be chained from his heavy combo.

Both of his specials are 1-hit, so they are an effective tool against characters like Raven/Prime, especially the later.

Trivia

• Doomsday's special 1, Ultimate Liftoff, is based on the "Upward Venom" move from the console game. Earth Shake is based on the move of the same name.
• Strangely enough, if you're fighting against him, his light basic combo will actually be Doomsday/Regime's instead; on the other hand, if the player is using Doomsday Prime, this time it will be his own light basic combo.
