Skills (before LB)
Special: Thousand Arrows: Flapping Thread Click to see characters with matching specials	Deals 2x the amount of damage dealt beyond enemies’ HP the previous turn in non-type damage to all enemies (If all enemies were defeated with additional damage in the previous turn, the damage dealt beyond enemies’ HP will be counted as 0) Overkill Damage is damage dealt over the enemy's current HP with normal attacks that killed them. For example, dealing 2,100,000 damage to an enemy with 1,000,000 HP will count as 1,100,000 Overkill Damage. This stacks for each enemy killed in the previous turn. If the enemy dies by End-Of-Turn damage, your Overkill Damage dealt last turn will be 0.

Detailed review and other notes

An amazing legend whose special can potentially deal one of the highest amount of damage possible by any single unit. Bursting on the stage before the boss & activating this special on the boss stage is a good way to use it.
- - The dmg dealt caps at 10 million!
Barriers and Skill Bind make his special useless, so keep this in mind before using him. (Hint: Legend Law v1 is a great helper!)
Easily one of, if not THE best Driven captain available for quite a while after his release, as well as an amazing sub for any Driven/Cerebral teams that can use his burst.

Team building

your best Driven units go here :)
Good to pair with Legend Fujitora v1. Even if his ATK boost is weaker than double Doffy, you get even more matching orbs! And Fuji's special is solid and synergizes with Doffy's burst (through only for one cut, presumably).
