Strategy/Usage

Like Glass Cat, Elder Mask Doron is a suicide attacker that delivers a crowd-controlling status effect (in his case a 5-second freeze), giving other (especially fragile) units an expanded window of opportunity. Thanks to this, rushers like Idi:N2 and Awakened Bahamut can inflict much greater damage against relics that they normally wouldn't be able to due to the trait's generally high damage. Unlike Glass Cat, however, Doron can also deliver decent damage himself, as well as being able to hit multiple targets with his omni strike and surge. Keep in mind that the Surge is likely to hit backline enemies, due to its spawning range of 400~1,000.

It is not recommended to use him on non-Relic enemies because of his long recharge time and mediocre damage, with or without Surge, as Doron is heavily reliant on his status effect and the resulting potential synergy with other units.
