"I AM THE EMPEROR OF COUNTLESS REALITIES! I AM DORMAMMU!"
—Dormammu[src]

Dormammu is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but is weak to Science Champions.

Bio[]

Dormammu was born to a race of powerful beings made of pure magical energy known as the Faltine, and has only one true desire: power. This desire drove him from his home world and brought him to the Dark Dimension, where he now rules and draws even greater power from the worship of his subjects. Now with the power of so many heroes concentrated in The Contest, Dormammu has come as one of the greatest mystical threats in the universe, undoubtedly to gain that power for himself.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Hyperion
    • A lot of Hyperion’s power comes from his repeated Power Gains, and Dormammu has several ways to deal with them via power burn, power drain and power lock. Also, the True Damage from both Soul Bond and Soul Leech allows him to bypass Hyperion’s high physical resistance from his cosmic charges
  • Doctor Strange
    • Ahh the good Doctor, Dormammu’s long time nemesis. Now, this isn’t a super hard counter, but Dormammu is well equipped for this fight. He doesn’t rely on Buffs limiting the effect of Counterspell. He has a Nullify of his own to take down Doctor Strange’s period buffs, and once his Signature is unlocked he has a chance to Degenerate Doctor Strange each time he switches Buffs.
  • Cable
    • When stepping into the ring with Cable, Dormammu’s going to want to play the shutdown game. Cable can really get rolling when he triggers Power Gains, which in turn gives him more chances to trigger Regenerations, and more Power Gains. Dormammu has a couple of options to deal with this, either Nullifying them directly, or Power Locking and Draining him to prevent them having a chance to trigger.

Weaknesses[]

  • Electro
    • Electro is a tough contender for Dormammu, especially once he has access to his Signature Ability. Electro is happy to just sit on a full Power Bar for extra Critical Hits, never giving Dormammu a chance to build his Dark Energy, and hold Class Advantage for even more damage.
  • Captain America
    • Captain America is a great counter to Dormammu. He doesn’t have any Buffs except Dexterity to trigger, avoiding Soul Leech. Weakness provides a window in which Dormammu really doesn’t want to trigger the Soul Bond, and Class Advantage offsets Cap’s lower damage output.
  • Cyclops (Blue Team and New Xavier School)
    • Cyclops has big Special Damage at his disposal, and doesn’t mind saving up for his Special 3, especially if he can get his combo up for the additional damage. Again, by saving up his Special Bar he can deny Dormammu much of his Dark Energy charge, and no buffs to trigger keep him safe from Soul Leech.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Mystic Dispersion
    • Dormammu has a Nullify ability on his Special 1, allowing him to trigger Mystic Dispersion a lot. This only improves with an Imbued Special 1 allowing him to Nullify all his opponent's Buffs.
  • Assassin
    • The Assassin Mastery pairs very well with Dormammu's Soul Bond. The very high ratio on a fully charged Soul Bond gives great returns from this mastery, and since the Soul Bond will take some time to fully charge, it's likely to be ready when this Mastery kicks in.
  • Liquid Courage and Double Edge
    • Dormammu's natural immunities prevent him from receiving their negative effects.

Trivia[]

  • Dormammu's design was exclusively created for the game.
  • Kabam took inspiration from the Dark Reign comics where he has a similar armored design.
