Doomfist is a Tank hero in Overwatch 2. Released on 27 July , he is the 25th hero added to the game. In addition to dealing ranged damage with his Hand Cannon, Doomfist can slam the ground, knock enemies into the air and off balance, or charge into the fray with his Rocket Punch.
When facing a tightly packed group, Doomfist leaps out of view, then crashes down to earth with a spectacular Meteor Strike. Doomfist is a close-combat fighter who excels in taking down enemy targets with his powerful combos.
With his signature ability, Rocket Punch , he is incredibly mobile and can deal damage and knockback to enemies, doing added damage and stunning if they hit a wall. Seismic Slam is also a dual-purpose ability that provides both high mobility, reasonable damage, and a large hitbox to gain overhealth from The Best Defense. Power Block is Doomfist's only defensive ability and is used primarily to Empower his gauntlet, allowing him to survive longer and amplifying the effects of his next Rocket Punch with even greater power.
After casting Meteor Strike , Doomfist becomes invulnerable while choosing his landing location and then drops down, dealing damage in a large area. The Best Defense While Doomfist is strong up close, his damage falls off heavily at mid-to-long range, so unless he can close the distance between himself and an enemy, his only option is to use Hand Cannon , a shotgun style weapon with an automatic reload mechanic.
Like other tanks, he typically takes more damage than other heroes due to his large hitbox. Countering Doomfist is all about resources and how they are utilised. This section is dedicated to some of the hardest things Doomfist can face, wherein almost all these cases swapping to another tank is strongly advised, as Doomfist simply will not be able to get value playing against them.
