Strategy/Usage

Dogumaru is an anti-Traitless tanker, a rare niche to behold. Otherwise, his points of interests are his fast movement speed, high attack power, low knockback count and cost, with added Warp/Curse Immunity to help against Mystic Mask Yulala and Master Uril respectively, as well as any stages pairing Traitless enemies with the Relic Doge Base. However, his recharge time is somewhat long for what he does, and he will struggle to counter enemies like Henry or Croakley, who will render him useless if spawned at the wrong time. Lastly, he also excels at tanking isolated Dolphinas.

True Form

Reborn Warrior Doguemon's biggest improvements are a decent boost to HP, a recharge time reduction and Relic targeting, thus improving his existing niche and giving him a new niche against another trait.

His viability against Relic enemies is a mixed bag. On the one hand, his impressive HP and recharge time work against certain Relics, such as Spiritual Yulala, Lowkey and even Dogumaru. However, his lack of other immunities means that he does not do nearly as well against M. Ost and Masked Grandmaster Cat, for example, as he still gets chipped by Waves or suffers from Knockback/Slow.

Additionally, this form grants Colossus Slayer and Behemoth Slayer, both of which can help quite well. Overlapping with his targeted traits, Reborn Warrior Doguemon's kit seems made especially for Wild Doge, Elephantidae Papaou and Cumulus Gallus, as well as Ultima Beast Naala on higher Crown difficulties, and the more recent trio of Ancient Magamojoe, Great Ape Luza and Zero Luza. While Reborn Warrior Doguemon seems poised to take on these threats, his advantage is somewhat hindered by their tendency to fight alongside other enemies of many other traits (save for Zero Luza, whose stage solely consist of enemies within Reborn Warrior Doguemon's target traits). Additionally, Colossus Slayer does somewhat help against Colossus Gauntlets in general, but those stages also have a variety of enemies to strike past Reborn Warrior Doguemon's abilities and exploit his lack of immunities, making him a subpar option. Still, Reborn Warrior Doguemon is overall a solid buff that improves his existing niche and works well in several more stages.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Dogumaru resembles his enemy form but loses his gem, and his Relic attributes are replaced by clay. Attack is like the enemy form's as well, but he traces a laser and locks onto his target first, firing a beam with a blue hue.
• Evolved Form: Looks like his previous form, but the flower pot has been replaced with a stone tail, and he has a bell in place of the gem found on its enemy form. Also flexes his left arm. Sparkling light and explosion during attack animation has a glow of yellow. The bell also glows yellow.
• True Form: Doguemon is now colored yellow-brown with teal warrior equipment and no more bell. The sparkling light and explosion during his attack animation have a purple and green glow instead. The badge also glows yellow.

Trivia

• Dogumaru is based on Shakōkidogū, the most well-known variety of clay dogū figurines from prehistoric Japan.
  • The word maru in Dogumaru's name can mean "full" or "whole" in Japanese. This may refer to how being attached to a horse statue's lower body (as mentioned in his enemy counterpart's description) has made Dogumaru complete again, as Shakōkidogū in real life are seldom found with all of their limbs intact.
• The term haniwa in his Evolved and True Forms' Japanese descriptions refers to a type of ancient clay figurine that used to be buried alongside the dead.
• For a few reasons, Dogumaru could potentially be a nod to Hanimaru from the children's television program Ōi! Hanimaru:
  • Both combine the name of an ancient Japanese clay figurine with 丸 maru (Hanimaru is haniwa, Dogumaru is dogū).
  • The Japanese descriptions of his Evolved and True Forms say that he is a haniwa.
  • Hanimaru is usually seen with his horse haniwa Hinbei, while the enemy Dogumaru's Japanese description states that he was mistakenly attached to the lower body of a horse dogū that had fallen beside him.
• The "cBay" in Dogumaru's description is a reference to the online marketplace eBay.
• Dogumaru's attack animation is reminiscent of a Guardian from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, locking on to his target with a red light before shooting an explosive blue beam.
• Doguemon is likely a reference to Doraemon, the protagonist of the eponymous franchise, who is also a cat-like construct with a bell around his neck.
  • Ironically, this bell is not passed over to Reborn Warrior Doguemon.
• Doguemon's stance resembles that of a maneki-neko, a traditional Japanese figurine considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
• Dogumaru is the first Legend Cat whose stats change between his Normal and Evolved Forms, the second being Idi:N.
• Between Version 11.5 and Version 12.0, Dogumaru was the only Uncanny Legends drop unit who increased the player's Enigma Level.
