Doomfist

Compared to most other Heroes, D.Va cannot negate most of Doomfist’s damage with her Defense Matrix. This makes her ability to peel for more vulnerable targets less effective than it would be against Heroes like Genji or Tracer. A skilled D.Va will still be able to prevent Doomfist from completing a combo by negating his Hand Cannon shots though. Doomfist can also effectively negate D.Va's attempts to dive a target of choice with Rocket Punch as it is on a slightly shorter cooldown than D.Va's Boosters.

D.Va's Micro Missiles can deal a hefty amount of damage, making them ideal for attaining Empowerment. D.Va cannot manually cancel the missiles so she must commit to feeding Doomfist Empowerment or look away to prevent it.

D.Va's Self-Destruct provides enough damage to fully empower Doomfist's gauntlet at all of its damage ranges.

D.Va vs. Doomfist is very much a skill and knowledge-based matchup as both heroes share similar goals in team fights, though Doomfist features more utility and direct threat so it is a little bit easier for him to be on the front foot.

Like Doomfist, D.Va fits well into brawl and dive compositions. She can protect Doomfist and enable him to be extra tanky in brawl situations while also being able to dive with him and more efficiently eliminate targets.

Mirror matchups always boil down to one major factor: Who has the better team resources?

Possessing a team that can more efficiently and effectively work with and against a Doomfist will provide the player with a significant advantage when engaging in the mirror matchup. If one Doomfist has an easier time engaging, then he has more freedom and flexibility to dominate the game. This is especially powerful when Empowerment is factored in, as the Doomfist who utilises Rocket Punch more effectively (including its Empowerment) will often come out on top.

It is important to note that the mirror matchup is one of two matchups where Doomfist can focus the other tank reliably, as he can very effectively control and negate his own abilities without sacrificing his regular value. Interrupting an enemy Doomfist's ability cycling can prevent him from building overhealth and ultimate charge, slowing his process down considerably. It is also important to keep in mind that Rocket Punch is one of two abilities in the game that can directly disrupt Power Block without giving it any progress towards Empowerment. Using this to prevent the other Doomfist from gaining Empowerment will dramatically reduce his overall impact.

Meteor Strike is an ultimate with very low immediate impact, however, the other effects of the ultimate grant Doomfist an enhanced neutral game post-landing. Doomfist should look to disrupt and ideally cancel the free Empowerment an enemy Doomfist receives on landing Meteor Strike, as this will cut his value down and prevent him from capitalising on the extra effects of Meteor Strike.

Doomfist's mirror synergy is a hellish combination to deal with. Doomfist has enough self-sustain, mobility and damage output that when doubled can wipe entire teams with little to no effort. Doomfist requires a lot of resources to pin down so double the Doom means double the resources required.

Junker Queen is not a particularly favourable matchup for Doomfist as she outputs a much higher amount of damage over a more sustained period, though he can dampen and restrict this output quite easily. Because Rocket Punch has such a short cooldown Doomfist can look to cancel Junker Queen's Carnage and Ultimate: Rampage, removing most of her impact from each fight. It can also be used to dampen Junker Queens' mobility gained from her Commanding Shout and control where she goes.

Doomfist must take care not to get stuck by her Jagged Blade though as its "pull" mechanic can override Seismic Slam's mobility and forcibly reposition him.

Doomfist cannot block any of the bleed damage Junker Queen inflicts but can block the impact damage each ability deals.

It is also important to be aware of Junker Queens Commanding Shout as it provides her allies with +50 Overhealth, making it quite painful to finish off a target if they gain its effects.

Both Doomfist and Junker Queen are quite similar and share similar goals in team fights. Each aims to severely punish and capitalise on mistakes made by the enemy team or focus on eliminating squishy characters, the first to do either of these successfully is usually the winner of the team engagement.

Like Doomfist, Junker Queen is a brawl master aiming to output steady and high damage while also sustaining herself in a fight, making this combo a nightmare to fight. Capitalising on each other's damage and ability usage to secure eliminations is the key to success. One specific combo to make short work of entire enemy teams is using Rocket Punch to bunch everyone up before Junker Queen uses her Carnage to strike them all one or more times.

Mauga has only one goal on the battlefield. Tank busting. His sheer damage output from his weapons "Cha-Cha" ( Volatile Chaingun) and "Gunny" ( Incendiary Chaingun) make him the most dangerous thing on the battlefield to Doomfist, avoiding him is the only option. Due to Mauga’s simplicity, Doomfist can do nothing to counteract or control his actions besides avoiding him, as all of his value is based on his damage output. This can be beneficial for Doomfist though. Being Mauga’s priority 1 target, Doomfist can very easily farm empowerment from him. Extreme caution and preplanning are advised though. Without an escape option, Doomfist will be shredded once Power Block ends as he cannot block the fire damage from Gunny and will take far more damage than usual during and post-block due to the forced critical mechanic.

Doomfist must also be mindful of Mauga's Cardiac Overdrive, which is AoE. This means that any viable targets for Doomfist to engage on near Mauga also receive its damage resistance and life leech effects, making the engagement pointless.

Mauga’s Overrun is the most unique charge in the game and cannot be stopped by anything, so it is not worth punching him to try.

Mauga’s Cage Fight is a guaranteed death sentence for Doomfist, as being caught inside it will prevent him from using Rocket Punch, Seismic Slam and Meteor Strike, leaving him helpless against any enemies looking to target him.

Like most other heroes, Doomfist can benefit greatly from the effects of an allied Mauga’s Cardiac Overdrive. Its life leech and damage resistance will allow him to engage and remain survivable more comfortably.

Mauga’s Cage Fight also provides a nice confined space for Doomfist to use Meteor Strike and guarantees any targets inside the cage are quickly disposed of.

Orisa’s Fortify ability essentially negates all of Doomfist’s abilities due to it preventing knockback and stun effects while also granting a massive damage reduction and additional overhealth. This means Doomfist will not be able to eliminate Orisa even after using every ability and having reasonable accuracy with his Hand Cannon, it is not advised to engage her unless she is the last enemy standing.

Rocket Punch can be used to interrupt Orisa's Javelin Spin, however, if she is fortified the spin cannot be interrupted.

Orisa's Energy Javelin possesses a rather large hitbox along with a stun. It is on a relatively short cooldown and allows Orisa to effectively nullify anything Doomfist attempts to do provided she lands the javelin. This is her main goal when fighting a Doomfist, to disrupt him using her Javelin. Doomfist can use the Javelin's damage spike to his advantage and farm Empowerment. Using Power Block in front of Orisa to take at least 5 shots from her Fusion Driver will secure his empowerment as the damage from the Javelin will complete the required mitigation.

Orisa's Ultimate Terra Surge can be either easily avoided or blocked to gain Empowerment should Doomfist be caught inside of its AoE. Generally, it is better to ignore Orisa unless attempting to farm Empowerment from her to redirect towards other targets.

Orisa has excellent crowd control and resistance capabilities, allowing her to effectively act like a large distraction and control where the enemy team is positioned, enabling Doomfist's brawling style and allowing him to make effective use of the AoE portions his abilities possess.

Ramattra can square off quite well against Doomfist, he has very strong poke capabilities, Ravenous Vortex can mess with Doomfist's mobility and his Nemesis Form allows him get close and duel Doomfist. Keeping track of Ramattra's abilities is key as Doomfist can still out ma-ch him with his disruptive capabilities.

Utilizing Rocket Punch to continuously disrupt him in his Omnic form will keep him at bay for the rest of the team to focus him down. Keep in mind that Ramattra's Void Barrier can be placed behind Doomfist to cut him off from team resources, so keen awareness of its placement is advised.

When in Nemesis form Ramattra will usually want to get up close to deal damage or take focus with his block. Ideally, Doomfist will want to keep punching Ramattra away from his team to minimize any damage he can do, but getting behind him and timing a Rocket Punch to knock him into allied team members as Nemesis form ends can leave Ramattra vulnerable focus fire.

Ramattra's ultimate, Annihilation, is very dangerous as it puts him in Nemesis form and adds a damaging area of effect on top of that, Doomfist's only mitigation method to this is to punch Ramattra away from his team until the ultimate runs out.

Ramattra and Doomfist don't have very much direct synergy outside of Ravenous Vortex. Focusing their synergies on maximising controlling where enemies are and moving to is the cornerstone of a Doomfist and Ramattra synergy.

Reinhardt is a challenging tank to “toss around” like Doomfist can do to other tanks, simply because both Doomfist and Reinhardt occupy the same effective attacking range with Reinhardt having a much higher damage output and health pool than Doomfist. Reinhardt will have a hard time keeping up with Doomfist's mobility though, so he can use this to his advantage.

Rocket Punch can be used to force Reinhardt’s Barrier Field down for a split-second, leaving his team exposed for a very short time. Be careful though, as Reinhardt can counter Rocket Punch with his Charge. This will stalemate both characters and knock them to the floor but Reinhardt has far more lasting power than Doomfist does and is more likely to come out on top.

Reinhardt can very easily provide Doomfist with Empowerment. His Rocket Hammer swings do incredible damage and his Fire Strikes leave Doomfist on the edge of empowerment. Doomfist must be very cautious though, as he is a very easy target for Reinhardt to pin while using Power Block. Doomfist will be forced out of power block regardless of whether Reinhardt connects the charge or not. Should Reinhardt successfully charge Doomfist and pin him into a wall, immediate escape is advised.

Taking the full force of Reinhardt's Earthshatter (the point of impact between hammer & ground) will provide enough damage to fully empower Doomfist's Gauntlet, be careful though as Doomfist will likely not survive the follow-up of being bonked on the head by a Reinhardt's Hammer.

Reinhardt and Doomfist work very well together due to the fact they must both engage at a very close range (brawl). Having Reinhardt nearby allows Doomfist to focus more on dealing damage and less on escaping, as Reinhardt can use his Barrier Field to create a safe space nearby or take focus off of Doomfist when needed.

Facing a Roadhog is usually a bad idea unless elimination is guaranteed. Both characters excel at close-range combat, however, Roadhog deals far more damage than Doomfist, has far more health and can out-sustain Doomfist with his Take a Breather, even if Doomfist lands a Meteor Strike directly on him. Fleeing isn't usually an option once engaged in combat since Roadhog can use his Chain Hook to force Doomfist back to an unfavourable position. If he manages to hook Doomfist, two headshots from his shotgun will make quick work of him. The hook can also pull Doomfist out of Power Block.

Roadhog's Pig Pen deals damage over time and features a slowing effect, while it can be blocked, it is not advisable as the DoT is not reliable enough to provide meaningful damage and the slow effect can be crippling. Destroying it or avoiding it are the most reliable plays to make.

Raodhog's ultimate Whole Hog pumps out an absurd amount of damage and cannot be interrupted. Doomfist's only options are to avoid it or use its raw damage output to attain Empowerment, though this is a risky play as the knockback from the ultimate can pin Doomfist into a corner.

Doomfist should refrain from engaging in combat with Roadhog at all costs and make sure to keep out of his hook range. Doomfist should avoid Roadhog and disrupt his team resources so that he can be focused down more easily by the rest of Doomfists allies.

A surefire way for Doomfist to gain a small advantage is to try using Rocket Punch to cancel Roadhog's self-heal or interrupt his hook when an ally is caught, though these advantages are very small and difficult to exploit.

There is no known synergy between Roadhog and Doomfist other than capitalising on an ally Roadhog's Chain Hook.

Sigma is generally a favourable match-up for Doomfist. Sigma's incredibly high damage output is very useful for Power Block, as a single volley of his Hyperspheres can almost empower Doomfist's gauntlet alone. Sigma will want to use Accretion on Doomfist while he is using Power Block to try and cancel it, so baiting one Hypersphere volly before taking the Accretion will guarantee Empowerment.

Accretion does feature a stun, which can make Doomfist vulnerable if hit by it. Wait for Sigma to use Accretion on another target before engaging him or try to cancel it with Rocket Punch. A well-timed Rocket Punch can also cancel Sigma's Kinetic Grasp and Gravitic Flux.

Doomfist must be mindful of Sigma's Experimental Barrier as it is the most flexible barrier in the game. It can easily be placed behind Doomfist during an engagement to cut him off from his team resources, making his engagements more challenging.

Sigma's ultimate Gravitic Flux cannot be blocked using Power Block so do not try to.

Gravitic Flux and Meteor Strike can pair together after the slam for picks to compensate for Meteor Strike's outer ring damage. Otherwise, an ally Sigma landing an Accretion is a good reason to engage on an enemy.

Winston's value comes from the team resources he receives along with the way he plays around his Barrier Projector when engaging a target. Like the Doomfist mirror matchup, this matchup is very dependent on team resources and coordination to determine the victor. Unlike the rest of the tank roster, Doomfist can choose to focus on Winston and remain reliable, as he can very effectively control and negate all of Winstons value without sacrificing his regular value.

Doomfist does not possess enough damage to break Winston's barrier so utilising Rocket Punch can lower its value by pushing Winston out of it to take damage and cut him off from his team, forcing him to retreat.

The Best Defense... can help keep Doomfist alive in a 1v1 duel with Winston, however, his Tesla Cannon can output very high damage, so Doomfist cannot sustain himself for very long. This high damage output can also be used against Winston to farm Empowerment, as it will only take just over a second of sustained fire to Empower Doomfist.

Seismic Slams micro-lock can be used to prevent Winston from leaping away back to his team with his Jump Pack. If he does leap away, both Rocket Punch and Seismic Slam can also be used to chase him to try and secure the elimination.

Doomfist can also control Winston for a short amount of time during his Primal Rage, taking some of his effectiveness away.

Winston and Doomfist diving into the enemy team is a strong combination; Winston's Barrier Projector can protect both tanks from taking any unnecessary damage, while in turn allowing Winston to soften enemies up with his unblockable damage in order for Doomfist to finish them off.

The Wrecking Ball match-up is one of Doomfist's most even matchups in the tank roster as he is essentially a less lethal, but vastly more bulky version of Doomfist. Both Seismic Slam and Rocket Punch will stop a Wrecking Ball from achieving his 'Fireball' state and Rocket Punch can completely nullify a Piledriver if timed correctly. However, Wrecking Ball's mobility and self-sustain are among the best in the game, so eliminating him alone is not possible for any character.

The best Doomfist can do is try to stall and stop a Wrecking Ball from setting up his allies or from being a general nuisance to the team. Alternatively, should the Doomfist have the freedom to do so, eliminating an enemy Wrecking Balls team faster than he can setup will drastically reduce his value as the team's focus will no longer be split.

Wrecking Ball's Piledriver can almost provide enough damage to fully empower Doomfist's gauntlet provided he is close enough to the impact point and walking into an active Minefield is a guaranteed way to Empower Rocket Punch. Doomfist's Seismic Slam cannot clear Wrecking Ball's minefield on its own but it can drastically reduce the HP of each mine it damages, making it significantly easier for his team to clear them away.

Wrecking Ball has high synergy potential with Doomfist as both characters are great at controlling where enemies are positioned. Wrecking Ball can knock enemies into positions for Doomfist to capitalise on and vice versa. More specifically, Wrecking Ball can set up a Meteor Strike with his Piledriver, which stops enemies' movement for a moment and forces them into the air.

Be careful of Zarya's Projected Barrier. It can save an enemy from being picked off and gives her more Energy as it is damaged. Waiting until both barriers have been used or baiting them out is key to suceeding against Zarya.

If Zarya is charged up high enough, she can very easily empower Doomfist's gauntlet with her primary and secondary fires.

Her Graviton Surge will completely stop Doomfist in his tracks if he is caught in it and prevent him from using all abilities but Power Block so avoiding this is key.

Zarya and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together. Zarya can apply her Projected Barrier to Doomfist when he engages an enemy, preventing stuns that would leave him vulnerable. Zarya and Doomfist have an ultimate combo known as "Space Jam". The combo has Doomfist use Meteor Strike after Zarya has used Graviton Surge to trap the enemies in one place. The combo can eliminate the majority of non-tank heroes provided they don't have any supportive abilities that will nullify damage or prevent death.

Due to Doomfist's large hitbox, Ashe won’t have a hard time landing damage from her weapon The Viper. Due to her tendency of staying mid to long-range from the battlefield there’s not much Doomfist can do at a distance, diving her is his best bet, but it won't always work out as Ashe can escape with a well-timed Coach Gun. Seismic Slam's micro-lock can completely negate this if timed correctly, allowing Doomfist to finish her off quite easily.

Doomfist can use Power Block against an Ashe to Empower Rocket Punch relatively easily since Ashe deals very high damage, however, it is worth noting that her Dynamite should not be blocked in most circumstances as Doomfist cannot block the burn effect it leaves behind, only the initial explosion.

Doomfist can also effectively counter and displace B.O.B. with Rocket Punch. If used while B.O.B. is charging it will stalemate both characters, and if used while B.O.B. is stationary it will simply displace him like any other character. B.O.B. deals an incredible amount of damage so using Power Block on him will allow Doomfist to freely Empower his gauntlet.

Ashe and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can allow Ashe to deal damage and pick off targets of her choice from a safe range.

Doomfist & B.O.B. are a lethal combination together on the field as players must choose to avoid one or the other and Doomfist can chase players and force them into B.O.B.s line of sight.

It is advised that Doomfist plays extra carefully when going up against a Bastion as his raw damage output (particularly in Configuration: Assault) can burn through Doomfist's HP quite quickly, even when using Power Block. The A-36 Tactical Grenade can be blocked if it is stuck to Doomfist and deals a hefty amount of damage, it is worth using Power Block to attain empowerment though the detonation window is incredibly short and requires precision timing.

While Doomfist can attain Empowerment from an Assault Mode Bastion very easily it is advised to do this at a range where Doomfist can retreat safely once Empowered. Doomfist cannot use Rocket Punch to knock Bastion out of Assault mode so being close to him is usually a death sentence due to how large Doomfist is and how much damage Bastion can pump out.

Bastions Ultimate: Configuration: Artillery is an easy source for attaining Empowerment so it is recommended to use Power Block on a bombardment for a free Empowerment. Should the situation present itself Doomfist can also cancel Bastion's Artillery with Rocket Punch.

Bastion and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can allow Bastion to freely mow down any targets of choice from a safe distance or even secure free kills with his Ultimate: Configuration: Artillery as the enemy team will likely be too distracted to avoid it.

Cassidy is a bit painful for Doomfist to deal with. He is quite tanky for a DPS, has strong damage output and minor CC capabilities and both his Combat Roll & Ultimate Deadeye provide him with damage reductions during their uses, making bursting him down exceptionally difficult unless he is already missing some HP.

Cassidy is an easy source for Empowerment as his Peacekeeper can Empower Doomfist with just two shots or one well-placed headshot, this doesn't come without risks though as his Flashbang will completely cancel and lock all of Doomfist's abilities except for Power Block the same way Zarya's Graviton Surge does. While Doomfist can still block the damage, it is recommended to avoid and monitor Flashbang closely at all times for maximum effectiveness.

Cassidy's Deadeye is a lethal ultimate but Doomfist has two ways to counteract it. Doomfist can interrupt it with Rocket Punch and cancel it entirely or take a risk and Parry the ultimate with Power Block for free Empowerment.

Cassidy and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can give Cassidy the freedom to pick off key targets or go on flanks without anyone noticing.

If someone is trying to hide from an ally Cassidy's Deadeye Doomfist can use Rocket Punch to knock them back into his line of sight.

Echo usually spends most of her time flying in the air well outside of Doomfist's normal reach using her Flight ability and Glide passive. There's not much Doomfist can or should do about an Echo in the sky as there is almost always a much easier target to engage on. However if Doomfist possesses an Empowered gauntlet he can use Seismic Slam to gain height and then Punch the Echo into a nearby wall, finishing her off with Hand Cannon on the way down. This is not a recommended strategy as the Empowered punch is often better utilized elsewhere. Big style points for attaining an elimination on Echo in this manner though.

Everything in Echo's kit can be blocked by Power Block including her Sticky Bombs when stuck to Doomfist. The Sticky Bombs have a moderate detonation time and deal an incredible amount of damage, making it a guaranteed empowerment if Power Block is used while stuck by at least 5 out of the 6 bombs. Blocking Echo's Focusing Beam when under 50% HP will guarantee Empowerment for Doomfist but if he is above 50% will not.

Since Echo's Ultimate Duplicates whoever she selects Doomfist must adapt and fight whichever character she has chosen accordingly. An Echo Ultimate is an extremely high-priority target as she can let loose multiple ultimates depending on who she duplicated. It is advised to go all in and burst the duplicated character down as fast as possible.

Doomfist is exceptionally efficient at bursting targets down to just below half HP with his combos, combining a Doomfist's dive with Echo's Focusing Beam can make extremely short work of any targets caught by the initial dive.

Echo's Duplicate can allow her to adapt and work with Doomfist's strengths as anyone else in the entire roster, making her the single best character to synergize with.

Genji is much like Doomfist with his diving and burst potential qualities so keeping track of him is key and pinning him down alone is difficult due to his extreme mobility. Genji will often poke from a distance before trying to all in onto an ally and burst them down with a quick combo, something that Doomfist can interrupt with Rocket Punch if he is fast enough.

Should a Genji be Deflecting both Seismic Slam & Rocket Punch cannot be blocked so it is advised to use them on him and force him to either retreat or commit and be elimintated.

When Genji uses his Dragonblade he will almost always fully dive onto the nearest support or already be diving them. Doomfist can interrupt his Slash n' Dash combo with Rocket Punch but must also protect the dive target (ideally using Power Block to also Empower himself) to prevent Genji from getting a dash reset and continuing to combo squishy allies.

If a Genji tries to wall climb to escape from Doomfist's Meteor Strike simply landing where he falls after his wall climb expires or on the higher surface he is climbing to is a reliable way to eliminate Genji with Meteor provided he does no have his Swift Strike.

Genji and Doomfist synergize together exceptionally well in a Dive composition but also both require excessive healing to work well, expert coordination is key as the healing requirements of both characters will put extra strain on the supports.

Diving the same targets together will make extremely short work of them and allow both characters to chain into the next engagement efficiently, however, if the engagement goes wrong both Genji and Doomfist have escape options and can protect or draw focus away from each other to make their escape.

Hanzo is a very useful character to fight as Doomfist albeit also very annoying. All of Hanzo's damage is incredibly high burst damage, making it virtually guaranteed to attain Empowerment if Doomfist catches a shot or two with Power Block. Hanzo's Ultimate: Dragonstrike is also a very easy source of Empowerment once it is let loose.

Hanzo is quite easy to pin down and eliminate, regardless of whether he has used his Lunge, however, Doomfist will likely take a lot of damage in the process making it a risky dive to commit to. Hanzo's Sonic Arrow will also remove any element of surprise Doomfist may attempt to utilize so it is important to play as if they know where he is at all times.

Hanzo's Storm Arrows are an extremely threatening form of burst damage Hanzo can utilise to put immense pressure on Doomfist. Hanzo has extreme control over how this burst is unleashed so caution is advised when he uses it. Two shots or one well-placed headshot are enough to fully empower Doomfist's gauntlet. This will leave Hanzo with 3-4 leftover arrows to fire at Doomfist once Power Block ends, escaping is usually safer than trying to confirm the elimination.

If a Hanzo tries to wall climb to escape from Doomfist's Meteor Strike simply landing where he falls after his wall climb expires or on the higher surface he is climbing to is a reliable way to eliminate him with Meteor provided he does not have his lunge.

Hanzo and Doomfist synergize quite nicely together purely because of Hanzo's Sonic Arrow. A well-placed Sonic Arrow allows Doomfist to play even more tactfully and aggressively as he can see what the enemies are doing and strike before they can process he's even attacking.

Junkrat is quite useful for Doomfist to fight as his damage is incredibly high and often uncontrolled, making Empowerment incredibly easy to get from random bombs around the map. One bomb is enough to fully empower Doomfist's gauntlet.

Junkrat can be quite easy to burst down and eliminate quickly so long as he doesn't have a Concussion Mine to knock Doomfist away from him, though Doomfist will likely take a lot of damage in the process or fall into a Steel Trap, making it a risky dive to commit to.

Junkrat’s Steel Trap can almost fully Empower Doomfist's gauntlet on its own so it can be used to finish off an Empowerment or bait people into finishing Doomfist's Empowerment, though this is ill-advised as being trapped usually results in death. Junkrat's passive Total Mayhem can also be used to freely empower Doomfist's gauntlet if Junkrat dies nearby.

Junkrat's Rip-Tire is lethal to most characters in the game, however, Doomfist can survive it using Power Block (and gain Empowerment at the same time) provided it is not detonated inside of Doomfist. Doomfist can also quickly hunt down and eliminate Junkrat while he is in control of his tire as he is left defenceless.

Junkrat and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalising on the space each character creates.

Outside of space creation, Junkrat's Steel Trap can allow Doomfist to fully commit to diving a character as they'll be stuck in one spot unable to avoid Doomfist's combos or even his Ultimate.

Mei can be extremely painful for Doomfist to fight but also possesses the capacity to help Doomfist bully the enemy team harder. Mei is less of a priority eliminate target than other characters and more of an avoid character as she has high HP for a DPS alongside good survivability and extreme utility. The high DPS output from her Endothermic Blaster can easily provide Doomfist with Empowerment but is also risky, as her slow effect is much stronger than Power Blocks self slow, making it even harder for Doomfist to adjust his position during the block.

Mei's Cryo-Freeze allows her to both block Doomfist's Rocket Punch and survive any life threatening damage that may come her way. There is nothing Doomfist can do about this other than bait it out and move on to another target to fight, however, if Doomfist has his Ultimate he can use it to land on the Mei as she finishes coming out of Cryo-Freeze for a free elimination provided it is timed correctly.

Mei's Ice Wall is a double edged sword for her when up against Doomfist. On one hand, it can be used in a multitude of tactical ways to stop fights, secure eliminations or specifically mess with Doomfist. But on the other hand, the blastback effect from Doomfist's Rocket Punch can still be activated by punching an Ice Wall provided Doomfist has direct LoS to the players in the range which is something not many players may know, turning a defensive wall against a Mei and her team behind it. It is only recommended to do this when Empowered as the blastback area on a regular punch is too small to take advantage of.

There is nothing Doomfist can realistically do about a Mei's Blizzard other than avoid it, although a well-timed Rocket Punch can cancel it if lucky enough.

Mei and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together in a death ball or brawl composition. Mei's Endothermic Blaster can slow multiple enemies at a time and allow Doomfist to set up high-impact combos.

Mei's Blizzard allows Doomfist to freely damage anyone caught in it with one well-placed Seismic Slam or even a Meteor Strike for added follow-up post-Blizzard. Be careful though, as Rocket Punch will knock frozen targets out of the frozen state and may allow them to escape the Ultimate.

Pharah usually spends most of her time flying in the air well outside of Doomfist's normal reach using a combination of her Jet Dash, Jump Jet, Concussive Blast and Hover Jets. There's not much Doomfist can or should do about a Pharah in the sky as there is almost always a much easier target to engage on. However if Doomfist possesses an Empowered gauntlet he can use Seismic Slam to gain height and then Punch the Pharah a nearby wall, finishing her off with Hand Cannon on the way down. This is not a recommended strategy as the Empowered punch is often better utilized elsewhere. Big style points for attaining an elimination on Pharah in this manner though.

Pharah's Rocket Launcher is a good source of damage for Doomfist to farm Empowerment from as each rocket deals high damage and is usually fired from a considerable distance away, making it virtually impossible for Pharah not to give Doomfist the free damage.

Pharah's Barrage is a highly lethal Ultimate. Under no circumstance is Doomfist able to block all of its incoming damage as the rockets spread out and land all around Doomfist. It can be cancelled completely with a well-placed Rocket Punch though.

Pharah and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space each character creates.

Doomfist's setups can also often help an ally Pharah land direct hits or increased splash damage.

Reaper and Doomfist both excel in close-quarters combat, however, Reaper possesses an edge over Doomfist as his damage output is far greater than Doomfist's plus he heals a portion of the damage he deals. Reaper is a low-priority elimination target and more of an avoid target as he will outclass Doomfist more often than not, even with Power Block.

It is not ever advised to take a Reaper head-on, however, if Doomfist does choose to fight a Reaper he must use his abilities effectively to bait out Reaper's Wraith Form. Wraith Form effectively allows Reaper to reset any engagement he takes as he automatically reloads his weapons, cleanses all de-buffs and becomes completely intangible. Reaper is much easier to deal with once his Wraith Form has been used but it doesn't change the fact that he can outclass Doomfist in a fight so caution must still be taken.

Reapers Death Blossom is incredibly lethal but will not often be used near Doomfist. While it can be blocked to gain Empowerment Doomfist is better off attempting to completely cancel it with a well-placed Rocket Punch to save any allies caught within it.

Reaper and Doomfist pair quite well together in most team compositions.

For more dive-oriented compositions Reaper's Shadow Step can allow him to keep up with Doomfist's dives or go on flanks while Doomfist creates space and distractions.

For brawl and death ball-oriented compositions Reaper's exceptional strength in close-quarters combat allow him to make short work of targets alongside Doomfist.

Sojourn is a very difficult character to fight. Railgun has a high damage output and the Railgun Alt Fire is exceptionally powerful when fully charged, she has good area denial capabilities and very good mobility. All of these factors make her a very high-priority elimination target albeit incredibly difficult.

Sojourn can avoid Doomfist with her Power Slide quite easily making pinning her down a challenge, using Rocket Punch to interrupt the Slide can aid in keeping her close to secure the elimination.

Sojourn's incredible damage output makes it relatively easy for Doomfist to farm Empowerment from her. Her Railgun Alt-Fire will provide guaranteed Empowerment if it is fully charged regardless of whether she lands a headshot or not. Doomfist can also very easily farm Empowerment off her Disruptor Shot when it is on the field though he must be quick about it.

Sojourn's Overclock is a devastating Ultimate that can make short work of a team on its own. When Sojourn uses her Overclock she becomes priority target #1 for Doomfist to try and eliminate as he is one of few characters that possess the burst potential and health pool to rival her during the Ultimate provided she does not land repeated headshots with it.

Sojourn and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can allow Sojourn to deal damage and pick off targets of her choice from a safe range or go on flanks without anyone noticing.

Soldier: 76 is an easy pick for Doomfist. While a Soldier will beat Doomfist if he keeps his distance Doomfist can very easily close that distance and combo Soldier out of the game. A Soldier: 76 will likely drop his Biotic Field if he sees a Doomfist coming his way so it is key to knock him out of it to ensure he dies.

Soldier: 76 can also provide quick and easy Empowerment charge with his Helix Rockets and just one shot on top of that. It is recommended that Doomfist Parry the Helix Rockets as it will guarantee Empowerment.

Soldier: 76 can also be forced to provide Doomfist with Empowerment through his Ultimate: Tactical Visor if Doomfist can position correctly and make himself the primary focus of the Ultimate.

Soldier: 76 and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can allow Soldier to deal damage and pick off targets of his choice from a safe range or go on flanks without anyone noticing.

Sombra is one of the largest threats to Doomfist in the DPS roster as she can disrupt him at any given moment and shut him down, forcing him to retreat with her Hack. Sombra's capacity for infinite Invisibility means that Doomfist wouldn't be able to hunt her down even if he wanted to, so he must keep on alert and play a little more reserved at all times as he is Hack priority #1 for Sombra.

Depending on when Doomfist is hacked determines how he recovers, if Doomfist is hacked during Rocket Punch or Seismic Slam he is usually forced to stop his attacks and retreat, if he is hacked while blocking though he needs to try and attain some overhealth with one ability then escape with the other. Committing and going deeper is not an option as being hacked also reveals Doomfist's location through walls similar to Widowmaker's Infra-Sight.

Sombra's Virus is a damage-over-time ability so it cannot be blocked using power block except for its impact damage, however, due to its accelerated performance on hacked targets it is often paired with a hack, making blocking it virtually impossible to begin with. Sombra's Translocator acts as her escape tool due to how it functions and the way it amplifies her invisibility. This tool is quite predictable and limited though, unless Sombra throws it around a corner and out of LoS Doomfist can reliably chase her and secure an elimination after teleporting provided he does this with Seismic Slam.

Sombra's EMP is essentially an AoE Hack that locks players out from using their abilities for double the amount of time and deals a lot of damage as well, Doomfist needs to play the same as he would if he'd been hacked normally only with a lot more caution once hit with an EMP.

Sombra and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together. Sombra can reveal up to two enemies at a time with Hack and up to three if she uses the ping system as well. Giving Doomfist all of this information allows him to freely pick and choose his targets well ahead of time and jump at them with Sombra for guaranteed eliminations.

Symmetra is a little tricky to fight, she has an incredibly slim hitbox alongside semi-decent mobility, tricky utilities to mess with players and can wield damage that cannot be out-healed. Symmetra's Photon Projector can be a double-edged sword. It can very easily provide enough charge for Empowerment when at max level but it can also melt straight through Power Block. Using a Symmetra's beam to gain Empowerment requires Doomfist to either leave as soon as he can once he becomes Empowered or use the Empowered punch on the Symmetra.

Fighting Symmetra near her Sentry Turrets is not an option as the turrets will damage and slow Doomfist down enough for Symmetra and her team to focus and eliminate him, ensuring the turrets are destroyed or simply not engaging while she is near them is the key to success. It is also recommended to be cautious of her turret placement as they also reveal Doomfist's location through walls similar to Widowmaker's Infra-Sight when they damage targets, removing any elements of surprise.

Symmetra's Teleporter is not a problem that needs to be dealt with unless Symmetra decides to move her entire team using it. Destroying the teleporter and controlling anybody who took it is Doomfist's primary focus in this scenario. Symmetra can also choose to Teleporter Bomb the backline, though this is a rare strategy to see used. If this becomes a problem simply using Seismic Slam on the Teleporter will destroy all of the Turrets in the bomb.

Symmetra's Photon Barrier is virtually meaningless to Doomfist as he can still punch and move straight through it, however, it will block Seismic Slam and Meteor Strike so Doomfist must pick and choose his targets a little more cautiously while it is active.

Symmetra and Doomfist synergize quite well together. Her Teleporter can elevate Doomfist's already insane mobility and allow him to set up and execute 'trick punches', an incredibly unsuspecting tactic that can rarely be blocked or stopped.

Doomfist can also ensure that targets stay within range of Symmetra's Sentry Turrets and take continuous damage, making elimination much easier.

Torbjörn isn’t a problem for Doomfist unless he’s in Overload, while Torbjörn is in Overload he becomes significantly faster, quite tanky and has an increased damage output so it is advised to wait until he has used it to engage him.

Although Torbjörn’s Turret can be pretty irritating Doomfist is not particularly well equipped to deal with it and should leave it to other teammates to deal with or farm it for some extra damage towards Empowerment. The Turret alone can empower Doomfist provided it is already targeting him when he begins blocking.

Punching the Turret will still trigger the blastback effects of Rocket Punch, something that not many players are aware of and will be caught off guard by.

Torbjörn’s Molten Core is a simple but powerful ability that creates 'no-go zones' wherever it is placed. Doomfist has to be careful as he will have less room to work with the more area the ultimate covers. Molten Core can be blocked by Power Block so it is always advised to farm a free Empowerment if safe to do so.

Torbjörn and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the space Doomfist creates. Using this space can allow Torbjörn to deal damage and pick off targets of his choice from a safe range or go on flanks without anyone noticing.

Outside of space creation, Doomfist can ensure that enemies stay within allied Molten Core puddles with Rocket Punch.

Tracer is one of Doomfist's hardest counters in the entire game. She is the only character that can easily and reliably avoid all of Doomfist's abilities and burn him or his team down with ease. Doomfist should not try to hunt down and fight a Tracer, he is better off leaving her for the rest of the team to deal with or using a Rocket Punch to catch her off guard mid-dive and force her to retreat.

Tracer vs. Doomfist becomes somewhat of a dance when in a 1v1, Doomfist can only win if he can out-mind-game the Tracer and bait her into Empowering him which is exceedingly difficult to do.

Should Tracer stick Doomfist with her Pulse Bomb the damage can be blocked by Power Block, allowing Doomfist to survive the explosion unless he is on 80HP or less and will become automatically empowered. It is highly recommended to block the Pulse Bomb for tree empowerment if it is safe to do so. Doomfist can also drop the Pulse Bomb off himself by using Meteor Strike if Power Block is not available, this usually throws the Tracer off and in some cases can cause her to eliminate herself.

Tracer and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together in a dive-oriented composition. Doomfist can all in on a target of choice while Tracer zips in and out of the fight to help secure eliminations.

Venture can be difficult to deal with, but it's ultimately dependent on who can manage their cooldowns better. Venture's kit deals fairly big burst damage in comparison to other damage heroes, but this can be used to Doomfist's advantage. They'll likely want to avoid you, as they get most of their value from eliminating your damage and support teammates with their burst damage, so while you can trust your team to deal with them, helping can resolve the issue quicker.

Both their Burrow and Drill Dash can be cancelled with a well-timed Rocket Punch, which can prevent a lot of their damage potential, as well as prevent them from getting away if they're trying to escape. Just be wary of their Smart Excavator, as it can deal good consistent damage to Doomfist, especially as he's an easy to hit target. Their ultimate Tectonic Shock deals big, heavy damage, but more importantly it lasts a long while. Doomfist has no way of defending him teammates from it, so the best option is to either avoid it completely or try eliminating Venture without getting eliminated first.

Venture is a high-speed type of damage hero. If they fully engage, they'll have to commit all their cooldowns and will likely secure a kill. Due to their limited range and variety of movement abilities, they pair well with Doomfist as they both work best in close-range fights.

To say the least, if Doomfist and Venture team up, it'll be a pain for the enemy team. Together, they can eliminate most enemies, including tanks. But it may be a challenge for your team to keep up, so be considerate of others on your team, as they may be targeted by the enemy.

Widowmaker is a huge threat to all players in the game, with her low HP she is priority target #1 for Doomfist at all times. Doomfist can very easily dive a Widowmaker and secure her elimination, communication is key and use of the ping system is important to let allies know where she is at all times to minimize her impact. Widowmaker will likely try to escape back to her team with her Grappling Hook once she is dived on, a well-placed Rocket Punch will ensure she does not make it back to her team.

Doomfist can bait Widowmaker into shooting at him and Parry the shot for guaranteed Empowerment, though this is a very risky strategy to employ so it is not always recommended.

When a Widowmaker activates her Infra-Sight she is granted the power to see enemies through walls and always knows where everyone is, during this period it is still up to Doomfist to dive and eliminate her however he must mind-game her a little bit to get there while taking minimal damage. Using Infra-Sight against Widowmaker and her team can make gaining Empowerment from incoming damage around corners very easy.

Widowmaker and Doomfist don't have any direct or notable synergies outside of capitalizing on the information Widowmakers Infra-Sight reveals to the team. Using this information can allow Doomfist to play more aggressively and tactfully, setting up combos and choosing targets to pick well in advance of when he'd normally be able to.

Ana is a very strong counter option to Doomfist's 'all-in' nature. Aside from being a very generally strong source of healing Ana's Biotic Grenade provides an even stronger source of burst healing that also amplifies future healing for a short time while simultaneously preventing any enemies hit with it from being healed. Having a dive target struck by a biotic grenade or being struck by one himself means Doomfist will not likely succeed in the engagement, the same can be said for Ana's Sleep Dart which is one of the few tools in the entire support roster that can completely stop Doomfist in his tracks no matter what he is doing.

It is important to keep both abilities in mind when initiating an engagement, it is usually best to wait them out before engaging as they both have incredibly long cooldowns, leaving Ana open and vulnerable to being burst down as she possesses no mobility.

Ana's Nano Boost boasts a lot of power and depending on the context it is applied in can determine if a team is completely wiped or able to sustain a lengthy fight. A Nano Boosted target usually aims to all-in on a target of choice before chaining onto more targets, Doomfist can utilise Rocket Punch to control and displace the boosted player, disrupting their chain and drawing attention to himself where he can utilise Power Block to attain easy empowerment or force the nano boost to run its course and be wasted.

Ana and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together with only one glaring flaw in their synergy. Positioning. It can be difficult for an Ana to position well enough to maintain consistent healing on Doomfist as she is usually in the allied backline while Doomfist spends a lot of time in the enemy backlines, however, all of Ana's abilities provide Doomfist with immense power surges, allowing him to more easily secure eliminations and sustain lengthy fights.

Ana's Nano Boost elevates Doomfist from threatening to outright lethal as the boost provides a normal Rocket Punch with the damage of an Empowered Punch and elevates an Empowered Punch to a guaranteed elimination, Meteor Strike also benefits massively and applies a mildly threatening amount of damage.

Baptiste's incredibly high healing output coupled with his Immortality Field can be quite difficult for Doomfist to deal with. He is generally able to out-heal any damage dealt by Doomfist with ease and can easily avoid almost everything Doomfist does with the boosted jump provided by his Exo Boots, while using Seismic Slam can match this mobility it is not advised to do so as Baptiste's mobility is on demand whereas Doomfist's is on a cooldown. Basptiste also has incredibly high DPS output through his Biotic Launcher and can dish out large amounts of damage almost equivalent to Cassidy while simultaneously keeping a reliable healing output.

While Immortality Field (a.k.a "Lamp") can be destroyed with ease it does provide Doomfist with some challenges, so long as Baptiste has his lamp Doomfist is unable to reliably all-in on a target on his own as he does not possess the capabilities to burst down a character and the lamp in the same dive, even while Empowered. While Doomfist can knock people out of the lamps radius with Rocket Punch they can still get healing from Baptiste's Biotic Launcher or Regenerative Burst, waiting for the lamp to be used beforehand and making use of its exceptionally lengthy cooldown gives Doomfist the flexibility necessary to operate normally.

When diving as a coordinated team it is possible to overcome the lamp and healing output through sheer force, so coordination is key when fighting a Baptiste. Baptiste's Amplification Matrix provides the perfect window to attain a free Empowerment through Power Block as all damage dealt through it is doubled, effectively turning everything short of shotgun pellets at range into an instant Empowerment. While the window is active there is nothing that Doomfist can directly do about it, so abusing its amplification properties for Empowerment is the best way to counteract it.

Baptiste and Doomfist pair well together but suffer from different positioning priorities. While Baptiste can lob his healing projectiles and Immortality Field a lengthy distance the time it takes for them to get to Doomfist may be too long and cause him to be eliminated so it is often best for Doomfist to travel back to Baptiste for healing than for Baptiste to overextend and follow Doomfist into a fight. Baptiste's lamp can aid Doomfist in surviving an engagement if it goes awry and a lot of resources are used on him to stop him.

Brigitte occupies the same damage range as Doomfist but can very easily outlast Doomfist in a 1v1 as her passive Inspire heals her as she deals damage and possesses a strong Barrier Shield to absorb some of the damage she takes. While she can be bursted down with a well-placed Rocket Punch, wall impact and follow-up Hand Cannon shots Brigitte is generally rather difficult to deal with as she's exceptionally tanky for a support character and can make other characters nearby almost as tanky with her healing from Inspire and her Repair Pack, making target choice more difficult when she is around.

Doomfist must be careful when using Rocket Punch to engage near a Brigitte as her Shield Bash can stun Doomfist and knock both characters to the ground. While this scenario is not favourable for either party Brigitte's passive healing and armor puts her at a small advantage to survive.

Brigitte’s Whip Shot can be mildly annoying at best and can shut down a dive at worst, it will only make a difference if she hits Doomfist with it during Seismic Slam as it is easily redirected by knockback. Brigitte can also contribute a significant portion of Empowerment through Power Block quite easily with Whip Shot as it deals a significant amount of damage and triggers her healing so baiting her into throwing a Whip at Doomfist and making use of the damage can be key to getting Empowerment.

When Brigitte uses Rally she makes all allies nearby incredibly tanky and becomes a minature tank herself with her shield becoming far stronger and gaining the power to stun multiple players at a time. While she is in Rally it is ideal to try and knock or draw her away from her team to make it easier for the team to secure eliminations, trying to engage her in a 1v1 will almost always result in a loss. Extreme focus fire can burn through the overhealth generation and her extra tankiness.

Brigitte and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together in brawl-oriented compositions as they both share the same damage range and self-sustain through fighting. So long as Brigitte can reliably trigger Inspire she can provide Doomfist with the flexibility to fight more actively and aggressively.

Outside of a brawl setting Brigitte cannot help Doomfist very much.

Illari is a very dangerous support for Doomfist to fight. Her Solar Rifle is a long ranged, high damage dealing weapon that will chip Doomfist's health down quite quickly. Two fully charged shots will provide Doomfist with empowerment so it is worth trying to bait her to shooting Doomfist. Illari is somewhat weak to being dove so getting in close and bursting her down quickly is the key to success. Bursting an Illari down (or any other squishy target) can prove exceptionally challenging if her Healing Pylon is nearby. This pylon is a construct, and acts as an automatic healer for nearby enemies and begins healing the instant they lose HP, forcing Doomfist to overcommit to try and secure the elimination. Ensuring the Pylon is destroyed before engaging or engaging on targets not near it will make securing eliminations much easier. Like other select constructs in the game, Rocket Punches blastback can be triggered by punching it, a feature not many people are aware of.

Her Solar Rifle Alt Fire heals 105 HP/s, ensures that whoever she is healing in the moment with this beam does not die short of being focused by 4 enemy players or being anti-naded. The moment Illari begins healing someone with this beam they cannot be elimiated By Doomfist alone unless he stuns them with an Empowered Punch. Disengaging is generally advised.

Illari also has a minor form of burst mobility and knockback through her Outburst ability. This presents more of an inconvenience than a problem to Doomfist as it forces him to re-adjust slightly to secure the elimination unless Illari makes it up onto a small ledged high-ground, wherein she will usually escape.

Illari's Captive Sun is one of the most dangerous support Ultiamtes in the game. and can very quickly wipe entire teams. There is not very much Doomfist can do against this Ultimate so retreating is generally advised. However Doomfist can stun Illari out of the Ultimate with Rocket Punch is she has not yet fired the main projectile. Should Doomfist be struck by Captive Sun and then Sunstruck, he can block the detonation and receive a free empowerment.

Illari's Solar Rifle Alt Fire and Healing Pylon can output immense amounts of healing, but they are also quite limited in range. Unlike a lot of other supports, Illari cannot reliably keep up with Doomfist's mobility to heal him, forcing Doomfist to retreat back to her for healing and making their pairing quite unfavourable. Illari is quite strong at range though and can help to finish off targets Doomfist has chosen to Dive from a safe distance. Doomfist can followup on Illari's captive sun better than most other heroes and force detonations as all of his abilities posess strong AoE effects.

Kiriko is one of the more frustrating supports for Doomfist to fight as she can very easily avoid everything he throws at her with either of her abilities or her wall climb passive leaving Doomfist in an unfavourable position. Kiriko's Swift Step requires an ally be nearby to activate so depending on who she teleports to and how far they teleported can determine whether Doomfist can chase them and go all in on them.

Protection Suzu is easily the strongest support tool that can be used against Doomfist as it can completely nullify everything in the game and is on quite a short cooldown. The most troublesome aspect of Protection Suzu is the intangibility it provides which causes Doomfist to sail through enemies as if they are not there. This can cause Empowered Punches to go to waste and leave Doomfist in highly unfavourable positions. Alternatively, Kiriko can also save it and use it to nullify a Seismic Slam, Meteor Strike or save weak targets and prevent Doomfist from finishing them off or securing eliminations so keeping an eye out for this ability is key.

Kiriko's Kunai deal significant headshot damage so getting hit by one can nearly fully Empower Doomfist's gauntlet through Power Block on its own.

Kitsune Rush heavily amplifies enemies inside of it and there is nothing Doomfist can do about this ultimate short of eliminating Kiriko during its cast. Utilising this amplified state to gain Empowerment and control enemy movement is the most useful thing Doomfist can do to lessen the impact of the Ultimate.

Kiriko and Doomfist pair exceptionally well together. Kiriko's healing output, while somewhat slow is constant and high, which allows her to easily sustain Doomfist when committing to fights. Her exceptional mobility allows her to keep up with Doomfist and further enhance his sustain, coupled with Protection Suzu Doomfist effectively becomes immortal while fighting alongside a Kiriko until enough resources are spent to force one or the other to retreat.

Her Kitsune Rush allows Doomfist to cycle his abilities at double speed, effectively doubling his self-sustain potential and heavily enhancing his crowd control capabilities and damage output. The only thing to be aware of in this synergy is the interaction between Power Block and Protection Suzu. Suzu will completely prevent Doomfist from blocking damage and attaining Empowerment so it is crucial that an ally Kiriko is aware of this and only cleanses Doomfist during Power Block if it is a life-or-death situation.

Lifeweaver is one of the easiest supports for Doomfist to fight against although one of the most frustrating to pin down. He has a rather large hitbox and generally lacks an easy escape option, but is quite tanky for a support, posessing an extra 25HP totaling to 225HP. He can prevent Doomfist from securing an elimination with a well placed Petal Platform or his Life Grip ability and can pump out an outrageous amount of healing very easily and reliably with his Healing Blossom.

Doomfist must keep an eye out for Lifeweaver's Petal Platform and when he uses his Rejuvenating Dash. Both of these are his only forms of mobility and Petal Platform in particular requires prior placement and setup to properly utilise as an escape tool, whereas Rejuvenating Dash is instantaneous. Engaging a Lifeweaver when he is not near a pre-placed Petal Platform is a surefire way to secure his elimination, however if he has a Petal Platform setup near him the reliability of securing his elimination drops substantially.

Lifeweaver does not typically focus very much on outputting damage, however, his Thorn Volley can output a surprising amount of damage and contribute a large amount towards empowering a blocking Doomfist.

Lifeweavers Life Grip is much like Baptiste's Immortality Field in that it will prevent Doomfist from securing an elimination on a target he is engaging. Life Grip is on a fairly short cooldown for the type of utility it provides so tracking this is key to securing eliminations reliably.

Tree of Life is a very powerful and unique ultimate. It creates a physical construct that outputs large amounts of burst healing and overhealth under the right conditions in a reasonably sized area. This healing area effectively nullifies Doomfist's ability to secure an elimination unless the target has been affected by an Ana's Anti-Heal effect, though it is possible to burst a squishy enemy down in-between the healing bursts with full commitment. Outside of this scenario Doomfist can only realistically disrupt and annoy enemies inside this area or look to punch them out of it. The Tree of Life itself is a valid target to trigger Rocket Punches blastback effects provided Doomfist has direct LoS to the players within the range which is something not many players may know, allowing Doomfist to turn a Tree against the team behind it.

Lifeweaver pairs exceptionally well with Doomfist. His healing output is quite high and can very reliably follow Doomfist a considerabe distance.

Using his Petal Platform he can create new angles to support Doomfist from in almost every scenario or even use it to help Doomfist create new angles to apply pressure from. Coupling this with Lifegrip can allow Lifeweaver to remove Doomfist from any situation that turns against him or allow him to over-commit to a situation without risk of elimination.

His Tree of Life is one of the more useful ults for Doomfist to work with as it creates cover and a safe space for him to work effectively in and around.

Lúcio is one of the few supports that can completely ignore Doomfist and still do their job effectively. Lúcio's Wall Ride allows him to easily stay out of Doomfist's reach and his Soundwave (a.k.a Boop) can keep him away or negate a dive. Lúcio's healing isn't particularly strong, but it also isn't his primary focus, Lúcio's Crossfade allows him to swap between a healing aura and a speed aura the latter of which is Lúcio's primary focus, allowing allies to move in and out of fights or dodge key abilities much easier.

Lúcio's Sound Barrier is an extremely powerful Ultimate that will negate all pick potential on the battlefield. Doomfist can cancel the ultimate with a well-placed Rocket Punch as it requires Lúcio to touch the ground to trigger the effect.

Generally, it is not advised to spend time trying to eliminate a Lúcio unless they are on the ground in the open where they are slightly more vulnerable to be picked, though it is recommended to always keep them in mind as they will likely try to bypass the team to isolate and pick off an ally support.

Lúcio and Doomfist pair quite well together, Lúcio's accelerated mobility allows him to keep up with Doomfist quite easily and amplify his mobility even higher. Diving targets together with a Lúcio is a sure-fire way to guarantee eliminations as the combined damage output and the amplified power to engage and disengage much faster grants immense flexibility to both Doomfist and Lúcio.

Mercy is a very difficult target to pin down and an extremely painful support to go up against. Her Guardian Angel and the built in Super Jump mechanic allow her to freely fly to allies around the battlefield every few seconds giving her some of the best mobility in the entire game. The healing from her Caduceus Staff is very easy to apply and her self sustain through her secondary passive Sympathetic Recovery is also quite strong. All of these aspects are greatly magnified by her Ultimate Valkyrie which also gives her complete control of her mobility in 3D space.

Mercy requires an extreme amount of focus fire and resources to pin down and requires a keen eye to keep track of, diving her or her healing target alone is never recommended unless they are afflicted with the anti-heal debuff as securing the elimination alone is incredibly difficult.

Her Damage Boost from her Caduceus Staff also elevates her target of choice from threatening to outright lethal, but this can be used to Doomfist's advantage as an amplified target doesn't usually consider their extra damage when deciding whether or not to shoot at Doomfist during Power Block which often leads to easy Empowerment.

Mercy's Resurrect is her big key ability and it is obvious when she is casting it. A well-timed Rocket Punch can completely cancel a resurrection and even eliminate Mercy if lucky, tracking enemy corpse locations is a strong way to ensure Doomfist has the opportunity to cancel a resurrection.

Mercy's extreme mobility and pocketing power allow her to follow Doomfist closely across the battlefield and keep him alive to further enhance his sustain or amplify his damage output to secure eliminations much faster and chain onto new targets more quickly, all of which is even further magnified by Valkyrie.

Moira is a very easy target to fight albeit somewhat difficult to pin down. Moira's Fade allows her to dodge and weave herself in and out of fights with ease, this mobility coupled with her unique healing and damaging methods can make her movements somewhat predictable.

Moira deals low but consistent damage at a surprising range with her Biotic Grasp, coupled together with her Biotic Orb she can burst down a target of choice with surprising efficiency provided they recieve no healing, this does not matter to Doomfist as he can chose to either ignore her and stay out of her range or burst her down faster than she can recover or leave the fight. Moira's healing output when using Biotic Grasp however is incredibly high and consistent, making a target being focus healed by Moira exceptionally difficult to burst down.

Moira's Coalescence is an exceptionally strong support ultimate that can be utilised for virtually any reason. Much like the rest of her kit it is a consistent stream of strong damage and healing coupled together in a long-range beam that can bypass barriers. This ultimate can provide an easy source of Empowerment for Doomfist and can also be very easily cancelled by a well-placed Rocket Punch.

Moira and Doomfist pair reasonably well together, her strong healing output and exceptional mobility allow her to keep up with Doomfist and sustain him in fights or help end them much faster.

Zenyatta is a very DPS-oriented support character, functioning like a glass cannon Zenyatta has very low healing output, no mobility and is quite squishy but boasts incredible damage output that is only further amplified by his Orb of Discord. The Orb of Discord is the single most threatening thing to any Tank in the game as it increases incoming damage by 25%, effectively turning some tanks (like Doomfist) into glorified squishies.

While this matchup is very strongly in favour of Doomfist as he can dive and burst Zenyatta down extremely quickly with ease Doomfist will not likely do so without taking an incredible amount of damage in the process thanks to the Orb of Discord and Zenyatta's high damage output so some caution is advised.

It's not all bad though, Doomfist is the only tank in the game that can actively turn Orb of Discords effect against itself. Using Power Block while discorded will enable Doomfist to gain Empowerment far easier than normal, allowing Doomfist to churn out Empowered Punches consistently.

Zenyatta's Transcendence is a very simple Ultimate that very few things in the game can burn through. Doomfist cannot burn through the healing output of Transcendence without Meteor Strike which can one-shot all non-tank characters at its epicentre.

Zenyatta and Doomfist pair quite well together, Zenyatta's Orb of Discord is an immensely powerful tool to secure eliminations and damage while his Orb of Harmony can provide Doomfist with a consistent stream of healing to aid in his self-sustain during fights. Acting off a Zenyatta's discord target is a surefire way to secure easy eliminations.
