Like its predecessor, the Isle of Doom is accessible via War Machine's hover jets or nearby ziplines. However, a modified map icon and screen indicator clearly mark its location.
While there is a central point on both islands, the Isle of Doom has its own unique twist. Rather than a fountain, it contains the Cauldron of Power. The first player to turn on this cauldron becomes Doctor Doom, wearing his iconic armor and utilizing his powers for the remainder of the game.
The Cauldron of Power beacons opportunity and danger in equal measure. Those looking to claim its power need to overcome the challenge of the island, whether in the form of deadly traps, elite enemies, or rival players. In return, however, the rewards are massive. As Doctor Doom, gamers receive access to a series of powerful abilities, which include energy blasts, force fields, and teleportation. They also turn virtually indestructible, hence becoming a formidable force on the battlefield.
But there's a great deal of risk associated with becoming Doctor Doom-the power puts a target on your back. Every other player knows where you are and has a motivation to take you down. The pressure can be immense, but if you're up to it, the rewards are unparalleled.
Armor of Doom is an Mythic ability that turns you into the actual Doctor Doom, increasing your health and shield capacity significantly, adding four impressive new abilities, disabling you from using weapons, potions, or medallions. But trust me, it's well worth the trade-off.
You'll gain Arcane Gauntlets as Doctor Doom and will shoot rapid fireballs at enemies with deadly accuracy. The Scorch Beam allows you to inflict continuous damage and instantly destroy structures, making you a force to be taken seriously both in combat and in the destruction of infrastructure. Your Hover ability grants you unparalleled aerial mobility, allowing you to soar above obstacles and outmaneuver your opponents with ease. Finally, the Doom Orb lets loose area-of-effect damage capable of erasing full groups of enemies with a single blast.
Not only does he have unlimited sprinting, as mentioned above, but those strong abilities also make it a great deal if taking out opponents is to be done both in close-range and long-range. Your versatility as Doctor Doom can allow you to adapt to situations in different combat scenarios, making you a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Finally, a Victory Royale earned with Doctor Doom will grant the exclusive "Victory von Doom!" banner, adding real panache to one's victory and a display of mastery over said character.
