Doug is currently A-tier in Gem Grab with a score of 78/100. As a Support, Doug heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Gem Grab.
Run Fast Food as the default Star Power for Doug — it works in most situations. Switch to Self Service on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Double Sausage is the standard active pick; Extra Mustard is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Doug struggles against Piper and Brock, who can out-trade Doug at the ranges or map types where Doug is most exposed. On the flip side, Doug consistently beats Edgar and Sam.
Doug performs best in Gem Grab (A-tier, 78/100). The Support kit — heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements — is directly rewarded in Gem Grab, which is why Doug climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Doug pairs best with Bull and Rosa. Since Doug heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Doug well, focus on Gem Grab where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Support that heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements. Run Fast Food as the core build, track Piper and Brock on the enemy team, and pair with Bull and Rosa when possible.
Doug is a support brawler who heals allies with his hot dog main attack, providing easy-to-apply healing to damaged teammates rather than a cooldown-gated ability. His Super transforms him into a larger, more aggressive combat form that deals high damage and can execute low-HP enemies, completely reversing his role from healer to finisher. He is one of the more versatile support brawlers because of this dual nature.
Doug's main attack heals teammates when aimed at them rather than enemies, so always target low-HP allies during downtime between enemy engagements. Save his combat Super transformation for moments when the enemy team is already low rather than committing to it at the start of a fight.

Stay alive first, support second. Position behind your carry, not beside them. Take Fast Food in most situations, switching to Self Service on maps where enemies can close distance. Use Gadgets proactively at 50% teammate HP, not when they are nearly dead.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Piper or Brock. Both Double Sausage and Extra Mustard are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
