Lore

From The Bazaar site:

"With a veritable arsenal of robotic weaponry at his disposal - and grand visions of robotkind's freedom from the fleshy chains of human oppression - Dooley is "living" proof of massive things coming in miniscule packages."

Playstyle

Dooley is the lovable (but deadly) robot of The Bazaar roster.

He's the only hero that has an unsellable item, The Core, which has a variety of versions that you start with.

Due to his advanced technology, Dooley also has a lot of ways to accelerate his power - if you position his items optimally...

As a liberator of robotkind, he naturally has a lot of Friends by his side to make their whole stronger than the sum of their parts.

Note: In this guide we'll be covering a few of Dooley's signature aspects but with 100 items per character there are many more ways to build him!

How to Unlock Dooley

Dooley must be unlocked using Gems. If you get a Founder's Pack you'll have enough Gems to buy both him and Pygmalien.

If not, you'll need to unlock Dooley by earning Gems from the ranked ladder.

At the beginning of every Dooley run, you'll have to choose a Core (you'll be presented with three but there are several in total).

Each one offers a different theme, strengths, and weaknesses, so Dooley players need to be versatile and adaptable.

So far, it's the only unsellable item in the game, but you can Stash if the situation calls for it.

Below, you'll see that many of the possible Cores involve strategically placing items to the left and right of it for various benefits to build around.

Example Items

The Core

Armored Core

Companion Core

Besides the Core, Dooley has many other items that require you to constantly optimize and rethink your positioning.

Although other Heroes have items that offer positional benefits, Dooley has the most, so be prepared for it.

For example, when an adjacent item triggers the Metronome, it will Haste the item on the other side by 3 seconds.

If you pair it with a fast-casting item like the Uzi (which can fire in 2 seconds or less), you can accelerate an otherwise slower item.

If you're able to find the right set up, it will give you a noticeable edge - it's often the difference between a good Dooley and a great one!

Example Items

Metronome

Duct Tape

Uzi

Compared to the other heroes, Dooley has the most Friends, so it's rare to have a build that doesn't have at least one alongside him.

Even if you don't have the Companion Core (which Hastes Friends), you can often unlock powerful benefits by combining their effects.

Bill Dozer is a prime example of this as he grows in power as each Friend activates and simultaneously helps them cast faster with lowered Cooldowns.

Remember to mix and match them according to their needs - for example, consider slotting in Walter Cooler during a safer PvE fight so you can ramp up your Max Health.

But if it's a PvP fight where the stakes are higher, consider swapping Walter out for a faster casting Friend with more immediate impact.
