The Dorm/Doom synergy seems to be best with Hidden Missiles. Problem is that you will lack horizontal coverage. Plasma Beam is a great assist, but it seems ok with Dorm at best. Not a problem since Jam Session works better with Dorm more than Plasma Beam.
Does Strider behind Dorm do much in the way of combo extensions or is it simply a good tool to help the neutral game for Dorm? On that note is Strider a strong anchor behind Dorm is he not considered a good partner for Dormington??
You can get extensions after Purification in the corner or after SJC launcher but those don’t lead into anything especially damaging.
Yes. It compliments Purification very well, stops opponents from chasing him down in the air, and can be used for incoming mixups. Dorm can punish the punish in several ways.
Strider is always a strong anchor as long as he has meter.

I had a few sets the other day with someone who played a Morrigan/Doom team using a Dormammu/Shuma-Gorath/Sentinel team.
I noticed that Morridoom can’t really be as BS against this team as some others. Now I am by no means a good Dormammu player or hell even a good marvel player, I’m still very new. But a few things I noticed.
Dorm is big/tall/fat enough to actually protect Shuma from projectiles when he’s blocking when calling an assist.
Shuma’s mystic ray covering so much of the screen beats out morrigan flying around like she’s safe AND hidden missiles (like actually breaking the missiles not just hitting Doom.)
Sents drones and size can shield Dormammu from some attacks whilst he’s using his own raged attacks against Morrigan.
Purrification is actually pretty decent for catching both morrigan and doom and when she’s trying to fly and shoot projectiles from max range.
Calling an assist and then teleporting to have the assist tank the projectile coming one way and the teleport avoiding the other can help get in on Morrigan.
“Power of the” moves are really really good for catching morrigan and doom since the attacks themselves don’t stop if Dorm is hit. Meteor shower and inferno inparticular stand out which can be great for catching them even if dormamu is hit and have them stunned in enough hits to kill one or both of them.
Now again I am not that great a player and I realised that Morrigan rushing me after getting frustrated with my team playing this way back at them meant I lost a lot (though that’s due to my inexperience vs any morrigan that rushes :V) I’m just curious as to what everyone thinks of this team? I don’t know if swapping out Sent for a shield user like Modok would help cover more or swapping him for Strider since vajra can pin down Morrigan at range and he can be covered by Dormammu blocking when he is called in to protect from projectiles. Any thoughts guys or any feedback with anyone who has tried this kindof team before?
Was thinking about Dorm/Shuma (Mystic Ray)/Strange (EoA or Bolts). Thoughts?
I’m still new to the game and tried to run a similar set but had some issues with Dormammu on point getting rushed down and only having beam assists. If you want to use Shuma or Strange as middle then perhaps have a character woth a good “GET OFF ME!” assist and a solid anchor to keep Dorm safer upclose or lock down. Akuma Tatsu and Haggar Lariat are variations I’ve tried so far that help both Dorm upclose and they help Shuma start his mystic stare loops.
This is me just thinking aloud. I know normally it’s a good idea to use assist with a character that cover their weaknesses. Like you mention the use of a gtfo assist to help with dorm getting rush down. But with dorm I feel like you should ignore that general rule and instead give him tools to add to his strengths. Dorm is tall, slow… Has a very punishable teleport. Why waste an assist trying to help him deal with rush down. He has superior tools to keep people at bay.
Alot of people like him on second cause he gets to come in on his own terms. I thinking creating those terms and maintaining them adds way more value to him.
Anybody play Dorm with Unibeam? Was gonna look into Dante/Dorm/IronMan

It sounds good, I just feel like unibeam would be a lot like plasma beam, which I don’t really like to use with Dorm personally. I feel like if your going to use a beam for Dorm it’s best to have a quick one like disruptor(I don’t play mags so I use a ghetto version with triple arrow) or one that’s going to lock down for a while like bolts. Unibeam does lock down and keeps the opponent standing unlike plasma beam so it may work out, just not as long as bolts or as fast as disruptor.
How do people feel about dorm/strange synergy. Specifically on the 2nd and 3rd spot?
This is actually my main team. I usually run shuma on point but dorm is still good. The team is honestly a good team with great keep away and I love playing it. Have you tried it out yet?
_____, Dormamu, Arthur
Who do you guys think I should put on point?
Haggar gets a lot of benefits from the two but I’d like to see my other options.

I was looking into Vergil/Dorm/Dante or Vergil/Dorm/Doom. What would be the pros of this synergy wise
Does Dormammu get anything off of akuma tatsu assist?
Pretty sure he can get another flame carpet + tatsu to OTG and get another launch/MMHS rep, but I’m not quite certain, tatsu’s hitstun decay is kind of iffy and they might flip out at some point.
Try it out!
Dorm is really awesome w/ Jam session. The biggest issue is dealing with Vergil.
