The Doom Digger is an enemy that appears in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. It is a species of Fusion Monsters that is used in Fuse's Army.

Physical appearance

A Doom Digger, from the . — A Doom Digger, from the Quick Start Game Guide.

The Doom Digger is a DexLabs drone repurposed into a Fusion Monster. A tank-based blue robot, it has a low-set head on a grayish-brown upper torso with a narrow waist, the former being little more than an outward casing with a horizontal green light line with cracks along it for eyes. Mounted on its shoulders are two long white cannons with green barrels. It also has thin grayish-brown upper arms with blue forearm armor and long gray drills with green outlines for hands. For feet, it has two long, grayish-brown treads with armor covers on top of them, with an extra tread between them on the rear. Labeled on the sides of the treads' cover is also the words "Dex Tech". Like other Fusion Monsters, Fusion Matter leaks from cracks on the Doom Digger or glows along its outlines.

Gameplay

In gameplay, the Doom Diggers are enemy monsters that the player fights at various points in the game, either optionally, or as a part of a mission objective. To target a Doom Digger, align the Avatar with it to make its information window appear on the top of the screen. Should its Health Bar reach zero when battling it, the Fusion Matter animating the Doom Digger will break up, and the Doom Digger will disintegrate.^[2] The player will then automatically receive some Fusion Matter and Taros as reward. However, while the Doom Digger's Taro reward remains consistent, its Fusion Matter reward will decrease for each level the Avatar is above the Doom Digger; if the Avatar is six levels higher than the Doom Digger or more, no Fusion Matter is rewarded. Sometimes, the player also automatically receives loot from defeated Doom Diggers in the form of C.R.A.T.E.s, Nano Potions, and Weapon Boosts.

In battle, the Doom Diggers target the Avatar when they get close enough. However, the higher the Avatar's level is, the closer they can get to a Doom Digger without it attacking them. Once they begin fighting, the Doom Diggers will continue attacking until either they are destroyed, the Avatar is defeated, or the Avatar moves too far away from their point of origin. If the Avatar runs away from them, the Doom Diggers will follow them until they get too far away from their area of roaming, at which point they will return, where they will regain their full health instantly. Notably, while retreating, they will be invulnerable to attacks. Also, once defeated, a Doom Digger will respawn after one hundred seconds.

Powers and abilities

Skills the Doom Diggers have exhibited include:

Drill Protrusion: The Doom Diggers are equipped with drills powerful enough to drive through steel.^[1]
Energy Projection: The Doom Diggers' cannons, which were originally designed to clear away obstacles,^[1] have been repurposed so that they can fire blasts of green energy.
Fusion Matter Explosion: The Doom Diggers possess the Eruption Attack, which lets them create a localized explosion of Fusion Matter from the ground. When launching this attack, the Doom Diggers make the ground below their opponent glow with Fusion Matter for a few seconds before causing a pillar of Fusion Matter to erupt.
Nano Drain: The Doom Diggers possess the Corruption Attack, which lets them drain Nanos of their stamina. When they are attacking a Nano, they will start to glow, which is the wind up, before throwing an attack that will trump their opponent's Nano. Should it make contact, the Nano will lose a lot of stamina. Conversely, if their opponent drops their current Nano and brings out one that deflects the attack back at the Doom Diggers, the Nano will get a boost in stamina. Should the Doom Diggers launch their Corruption Attack on an opponent without a Nano out though, the former will take damage.
Potion Consumption: The Doom Diggers possess the Battery Drain, which lets them launch attacks that can drain the Avatar's supply of Nano Potions and Weapon Boosts by a certain amount.
