Dragon Man is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but has a disadvantage against Science Champions.
Bio[]
Dragon Man was a lifeless android constructed by Professor Gregson Gilbert, then brought to life by Diablo through a combination of Science and Alchemy. Dragon Man spent much of his existence being manipulated into combat by Heroes and Villains alike, until Valeria Richards upgraded his Programming. Now with both super-intellect and immense strength, Dragon Man acts as a guardian for the children of the Future Foundation.
Mechanics[]
Dragon Man is a momentum based Champion focused on sticking his opponent in the corner and beating the heck out of them. Dragon Man uses his aggressive Power Gain to repeatedly knock his Opponent down and generate Unblockable for a short duration, keeping up his momentum. Once he gets the Opponent in the corner he gains massive bonuses to Attack and reduces Power generated by the Opponent when struck.

Dev Notes: Dragon Man doesn’t have any way to remove the Opponent’s Buffs, but he gains strength the more Buffs the Opponent has active.
Special Attacks[]
Special 1 - Blitzkrieg
Dragon Man charges forward with a flurry of strikes, decimating anything in his way.
- The final hit inflicts a non-stacking Slow for 8 seconds.
- The first hit that contacts the Opponent consumes 1 Power Charge to inflict an Ineptitude Debuff reducing the potency of new Fury, Armor Up, Precision, and Cruelty Buffs by 75% for 30 seconds.
Dev Notes: Ineptitude reduces the Potency of any Buffs activated after Ineptitude is in place. If fighting a Buff heavy Opponent, get these Ineptitudes on them as early as possible. Ineptitudes can invert the potency of Buffs, allowing you to reverse the effects of the Opponents Buffs.
Special 2 - Scorched Earth
Dragon Man engulfs the arena in flames before crashing down on his Opponent like a meteor.
- All 3 hits of Dragon Man’s fire breath inflict Incinerate, dealing X energy damage over 25 seconds. Incinerate also reduces the Opponent’s Block Proficiency by 50% and prevents the activation of Perfect Block.

Dev Notes: After connecting two Special 2’s in a row, quickly try and land a Heavy Attack to deal a huge burst of Damage.
Special 3 - Danger Close
Dragon Man Incinerates his Opponent, then launches them in the air and spikes them back into the earth.
- Consume all stacks of Power Charge. Each contributing 4 seconds to an Unstoppable Buff. While active, this Unstoppable instantly regenerates 85% of hit damage received from all attacks other than Special 3’s.
- After this Special Attack ends, generate 3 stacks of Power Charge. Additional stacks of Power Charge do not generate additional Power.
Dev Notes: This Special Attack ends with the Opponent Cornered. Use the unstoppable to charge into combat and keep Dragon Man’s forward momentum up.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Power Gain
- Dragon Man’s Power Charge ability is one of the strongest Power generating abilities in the game. As long as Dragon Man can keep at least one Power Charge active he will always have a Special Attack ready.
- Knockdowns
- When Knocking his Opponent down, Dragon Man gains an Unblockable Buff for a short duration. This Buff is paused during Special Attacks, so if Dragon Man can link multiple Heavy Attacks and Specials Attacks back to back, he can keep his Unblockable effect up for a long time.
- Opponents with Buffs
- Dragon Man is the first Champion to use Ineptitude, which inverts the Potency of Fury, Armor Up, Precision, and Cruelty Buffs quite significantly. This becomes especially powerful if the Opponent is using infinite Duration Buffs.
Weaknesses[]
- Stun
- When Stunned, Dragon Man loses all stacks of Power Charge. Since his Combat Power Rate is quite low, without Power Charge he will struggle to retaliate against his Opponent.
- Petrify
- Dragon Man’s Power Gain can be turned against him with Petrify. If his Power Charge potency is reduced his threat is minimal. If it’s reversed, he will lose Power at an alarming rate.
- Nullify and Purify
- Dragon Man is a powerhouse of a Champion. But all of his Abilities are either Buffs or Debuffs, making him very susceptible to Nullify and Purify effects.
Recommended Masteries[]
- Double Edge and Liquid Courage
- Being a Robot, Dragon Man gains full immunity to Bleed and Poison effects. This allows him to gain extra damage provided by these masteries without the downfall of taking the damaging Debuffs.
- Despair
- Dragon Man inflicts long duration Debuffs on the Opponent. He should be able to have 6 Debuffs on the Opponent throughout the fight.
- Inequity and Resonate
- Similar to Despair, Dragon Man is already inflicting long duration Debuffs making this potency Masteries in his hands. However, with ineptitude, Dragon Man is capable of inverting Fury Buffs. Coupled with these Masteries Dragon Man can significantly reduce the Opponents Opponents Attack Rating.
