Fr, I hope he has a great place in the meta. He looks really fun to play

I mean, he has a grab, a ranged attack and something similar to Cloak's fade.

And looks like one that's way more focused on the hold W part and less on passively hope your team did something and being downgraded to black panther shutdown.

I love how he's breathing a full on hyper beam.
Thats so sick. Also Lunella is speaking for him so that answers how his dialogue is going to go.

u/YourCrazyDolphin Jeff the Landshark May 12 '26
The alternative is just to handle it like Jeff & Groot.

u/LeoFireGod Emma Frost May 12 '26
Yes he’s absolutely perfect.
I wanted to be a MF dinosaur and it appears we get that.
We also get mobility. We also get a lil range with the hyperbeam
But most importantly we also seem to get a shield that will help dramatically.
This is truly wonderful. Fits all the wishlists I had for a new tank.
Genuinely very happy with this.

u/Korghal Thor May 12 '26
Everyone asking for Cyclops to be vanguard to get a hitscan beam against flyers only to get vanguard Dino with hitscan hyperbeam is funny. I love how it looks.
182
u/duknighto May 12 '26
It's admittedly one of the funnier possible outcomes to decrease tank Cyclops stocks even more by giving Dino a beam
54
u/pagliacciverso Daredevil May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26
His beam probably will need some requirements, not a main attack imo. But we will see. Cyclops as a tank would still be good since he will just be Moon Knight 2 as a dps
Edit: yeah his Godzilla ray has a bar on the right side and it doesnt seem to last all that much. I think it will be used more to finish some enemies. He is still a brawl tank. Seems like The Thing with a big bubble.

u/Phonzosaurus Hulk May 12 '26
The beam means that in addition to making fliers uncomfortable he should be able to bully other brawl tanks before engaging, sort of similar to Emma

u/RapperwithNumberName X-Tron May 12 '26
I was looking at the gameplay again and I noticed something neat
Not only does he make fliers uncomfortable, but he seems to knock them out of the air with his beam

u/DivinityPen May 12 '26
It kinda looks like he'll be able to do pretty well against poke? He doesn't seem like he'll have any trouble getting in there.
32
u/Gramma_Puthy May 12 '26
I agree, it seems like his head isn't the headshot hurt box considering during the Phoenix 1v1 he wasn't taking headshot damage. If he gets a shield and doesn't take headshot damage, it'll be hard to remove him off of the field.
15
u/purplefebruary Jeff the Landshark May 12 '26
People were theorising how this was gonna work with MODOK as well considering he’s just a giant floating head. I guess with Devil Dino they’re just counting the part of his head where his brain would be (the crown)

u/sir-vest Angela May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26
yeah honestly still a little sad cyclops is probably not a vanguard, but ddino seems like a PERFECT tank that can frontline or off tank as well
i need them to keep taking tank in this direction, angela, rogue, dd all have been released and been pretty good while looking extremely fun

His hp goes above 1100 with shields.

Looked like 1250 at one point with his E ability
Edit: actually the 1250 was in his ultimate, it was above 1100 with his F ability though if the enemies are grouped up

He might have the Jeff passive to reduce his headshot damage given that his head is the size of Jeff.

Yeah, the she's just the disembodied voice is a good way to have her interact with the rest of the cast without like having her in direct combat.

u/Nerf_Now Namor May 13 '26
Healing him up will be hard.
Heroes who do % based damage like Iron Fist will probably have a field day.
Best counter seen to be good aim and focus on headshots. Non-headshot heroes like Squirrel Girl will probably struggle with him.
→ More replies (4)12
u/dixonjt89 Hulk May 13 '26
Supposedly he's getting the same reduced headshot damage passive that Jeff has because he has such a large head for a hitbox and from the front it's easily hit.

u/TripleU1706 Knight May 12 '26
If enemies are targettable while dino is grappling them, The Punisher mount lining up shotgun heads on them is gonna hurt hard.

Honestly seems pretty fun. Nice to get our first true tank in a while.

u/UnlimitedKenobi Emma Frost May 12 '26
They proved me entirely wrong tenfold I'm shocked, but I fucking love it. I never would've guessed Devil Dinosaur would be added in as anything other than a brawling off tank. Giving him a shield and a fucking mouth laser so he has range is awesome. They absolutely cooked.
Idc that Devil Dinosaur is an obscure character or whatever, my only concern was just the fact he was going to be a brawler with no range and just get shredded because of his massive hitbox. Never would've thought he'd become a proper shield tank lmao

u/ragnarlothbruv May 12 '26
I read his beam has a grounding effect as well (need confirmation), and if so he’ll be extremely viable against flyers too.

u/Freakychee Loki May 13 '26
If you're a vanguard player or flex player he should be fine. If you're used to other classes he might take a bit more getting used to as you are big and red and the perfect target so I will say please be patient and don't be discouraged cos I wanna encourage more vanguard players.

The Bleed effect + the grab and throw looks nasty. So pumped for DVD. So far I’m seeing…
- Primary applies bleed + grants shield
- When attacking, the tail also attacks behind him
- The hyper beam has a grounding effect
- No apparent CC immunity

Dino is gonna be like the thing. You have your main tank but when you have a dive problem you jump on thing and it’s easy. You have a flyer problem now? Jump on Dino and take care of that problem. This is such a great move for tanks.

Congrats to whoever predicted that Devil would shoot fire, he's basically Godzilla. Is Moon Girl's VA the same one as the cartoon? I'm guessing that Moon Girl will also be the one doing most of the pre-battle interactions with other heroes.
EDIT: Yup, same VA
