Dom
Dom is an NPC in PHIGHTING!. He is one half of the idol group Flipside and works alongside his brother Valk.
Overview
Dom appears in PHIGHTING! as one of the two idols alongside his brother. Together, the two of them represent one of two opposing sides in a Phestival, announce Multiplier Matches to the player, and have their own Sword events. They additionally produce and sing in-universe music such as THE FLIPSIDE and SEE YOU ON. While they cannot be normally seen as in-person NPCs within PHIGHTING!, they sometimes appear in Crossroads during Phestivals in order to allow players to pick their team.
Against his brother, Dom has represented the Phestival teams Scrambled, Chocolate, Moon, Rat, Relax, Roses, Popsicle, Bitten and Crow. Out of ten Phestivals so far, his representing teams have won five of them.
In-Game Event
At One Minute Left, there will be a chance for Dom's event to occur, signaled by his Megaphone appearing in the center of the map, and the screen being tinted purple. During the event, Dom will periodically fire out a purple blast from the center of the map. The blast instantly recharges the Phinishers of all players. Dom fires these blasts when the timer reaches 0:55 and 0:30.
- Players will not get their Phinishers recharged if they are dead, or under an already active Phinisher effect that unables them to recharge naturally, such as Biograft's Overdrive.
Personality
Compared to his brother, Dom is generally a reserved and soft-spoken individual. He typically carries himself with an air of formality, showing little emotion and regularly addressing the player as 'Phighter'. Despite this, he has shown excitement on some occasions, such as when describing his love for chocolate. He values roses as an expression of romance, as well as the intelligence of crows, over the superficial appearance of doves. His favourite region is Blackrock. He occasionally makes jabs at his brother's height, and can be pushy when demanding the player appreciates his Phestival decorations.
